Our programming and research are rooted in our northern identity. We are responsive to the needs of the North, and we equip students with the skills necessary to sustain a prosperous north. We are stronger when we partner with Yukon First Nations, Yukon communities, industry and governments and work together to develop programming and conduct research. We value our northern environment, cultures, society and economies. We lead through exploration and innovation. We do not shy away from asking difficult questions in our commitment to the search for knowledge. Through innovative uses of technologies, integration across disciplines, and exploration of creative ideas, we empower students, staff and faculty to break new ground in learning, scholarship and research. Through a culture of informed risk-taking, we embrace change, opportunity and discovery and view all our endeavours as opportunities to learn and grow. Yukon University is a place of learning that is accessible and open to all.
