Université du Québec en Outaouais

[EduCativ]

2009 was quite a year for UQAT! While its 25th anniversary celebrations were being held across the region, the promotion and recruitment team of the Student and Alumni Services were giving UQAT.CA a makeover in preparation for the 2009-2010 academic year. Its new look, dynamic yet professional, is more in keeping with its personality: approachable, bold and creative… And UQAT’s new image on the Internet, in newspapers, in magazines and elsewhere fits the description perfectly.

The new design brings UQAT students to the fore: students who were notable for their academic results, but also for their extra-curricular involvement students who chose UQAT for its unique programs and its proximity to their home environment students who commend the availability of UQAT’s professors, U-approach and quality education. Also, graduates and staff members who are strong believers in our university and, of course, in its power to help its host community move into the future, put their shoulder to the wheel and rank among the ambassadors for UQAT.

Surf our new website, our 2010 program guide and our new promotional efforts, and discover why choosing UQAT is choosing a world where it feels like home! With its competent staff and approach based on accessibility, partnership and innovation, UQAT creates, transmits and mobilizes intellectual, scientific and cultural knowledge to support personal development and community growth, not only in the areas it serves, but also through partnerships at the national and international levels.

UQAT is deeply committed to and rooted in its areas of coverage. It has grown at an incredible pace, surpassing the wildest dreams of those who founded it more than three decades ago. Through the mobilization of the members and partners of the university community , UQAT has played an important role in helping communities develop and bloom, producing nearly 20,000 graduates and contributing significantly to progress in science through advanced research related to issues faced by the areas it serves as well as across Quebec.

We have come a long way, through challenging courses that have stimulated students’ creativity. Over the years, UQAT has naturally grown in a different way, guided by six consecutive five-year development plans, each more visionary than the last. It has been built on strong partnerships to offer an various educational programs and conduct research activities mainly in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Nord-du-Québec and the Upper Laurentians.

Our many successful achievements lead us to believe that our off-the-beaten-track methods deliver winning results, and prompt us to challenge ourselves and scale up to new heights. As you will see, our 2015‒2020 Development Plan reflects a desire to surpass our limits and embrace change as an opportunity.
