VISION
As a scholarly community the University of Regina derives its strength, vision, and purpose by the advancement, sharing and application of knowledge, and by facilitating the development of thoughtful, creative, adaptable, contributing and humane citizens.
MISSION
The University of Regina preserves, transmits, interprets, and enhances the cultural, scientific and artistic heritage of humanity through the acquisition and expansion of knowledge and understanding. We apply our skills in the service of society by facilitating constructive criticism, independent thinking, free discussion, and the pursuit of truth, while respecting the rights and responsibilities associated with academic freedom.
By interpreting the past and examining and clarifying contemporary thinking we shape the possibilities of the future. We are open to change and enthusiastic about investigation and creativity. We combine a unity of purpose with a diversity of outlook.
By encouraging the development of their potential, we prepare our students to participate fully in society, and to respond to the demands of a rapidly changing world in ways that are consistent with the highest human values and aspirations.
