Reflections from the President
I am pleased and excited to share with you this annual progress report on our university’s strategic vision. This report is a true testament to the hard work, dedication and collaboration that define us as a community.
When this vision was embraced by our community four years ago, it came with a call to be bold and courageous. It was a call to step bravely into our future and become the university our province and our world need us to be. As we reflect on the past year, we find ourselves firmly down that trajectory.
I am incredibly proud of how far we have come together. The successes that are outlined in this report demonstrate a collective commitment to innovation, excellence and transformative growth, and they would not have been possible without the vision, dedication and resilience of our faculty, staff, students and partners. As we face our next year, we do so as one university, united in the knowledge that our work changes lives for the better.
Of course, this journey has not been without its challenges. In the past four years, we’ve endured a pandemic, rising global instability, and the emerging realities of the climate crisis. As we look toward our future, one thing is clear: the work we do at UNB has never been more important. Our community has an essential role to play in working with partners at home and around the world to address the grand challenges of our time. Having spent four years working with the incredible people that make up the UNB community, I have no doubt that we have the creativity and the resilience to meet those challenges head-on.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to every member of our community for the work you do every day. It is through your efforts that we have come this far.
The world needs more UNB.
Paul J. Mazerolle
President and Vice-Chancellor
