OUR VISION, MISSION, and VALUES

Our Vision

We strive to create a world where Indigenous culture and values are spread across the globe. Through transformative and applied educational approaches, our learners will embody the concepts of respect, responsibility, and reciprocity and apply them in all aspects of business, community, and environmental stewardship – from the Northwest Territories to the rest of Canada and other regions around the world

Our Mission

We deliver high quality education and develop confident and compassionate leaders who possess the knowledge, skills, and ethical values needed to navigate complex global issues. Our local, territorial, and national graduates demonstrate their full potential while integrating Indigenous culture and values using holistic, creative, and innovative approaches. By adopting dynamic and applied educational perspectives, our learners will incorporate world-class methods to bring economic prosperity to the North while ensuring harmony – not only with the natural environment but with one another in an inclusive, diverse, and equitable atmosphere throughout their learning journey and beyond.

Our Values

  • Indigenous Values and Culture: We are committed to honouring and promoting Indigenous values and culture, embedding them throughout our curriculum and campus life. By nurturing a deep respect for the land, sustainability, and holistic well-being, we strive to empower our learners with a strong foundation rooted in Indigenous wisdom.
  • Creativity and Innovation: We foster an environment that encourages and cultivates creativity, critical thinking, and innovative problem-solving. Through interactive learning experiences, cutting-edge technologies, and interdisciplinary approaches, we inspire our learners to push boundaries, explore new ideas, and make meaningful contributions to society.
  • Global Engagement: We recognize the importance of global interconnectedness. Our mission is to prepare our learners to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world. We provide opportunities for cultural exchange, collaboration, and understanding, enabling our learners to become global citizens who appreciate and respect different perspectives, languages, and cultures.
  • Continuous Improvement: We instill in our community members a continuous improvement mindset through various priority initiatives including social responsibility, global citizenship, IDEA, and environmentalism. Through community engagement, service-learning projects, and partnerships with local and global organizations, we empower our learners to address pressing societal and economic challenges, contribute to sustainable development, and champion social justice.
  • Academic Freedom: As the foundation of ethical conduct in teaching and learning, scholarship, and service, we uphold and nurture academic honesty, boundless curiosity, and free expression, as well as the equality and dignity of every member within our community. Through our commitment, we foster an environment that promotes and reinforces the principles of honesty, open-mindedness, respectful discourse, and equal treatment for all.
