About the Faculty of Arts

About Us 

The Faculty of Arts prepares students to think critically, create boldly, care deeply and contribute meaningfully to a changing world.  

Our work is guided by four commitments outlined in the Faculty of Arts Academic Plan 2026-2029: 

• Active Indigenization — Embedding Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching, learning, and creating into our curriculum, practices, and relationships. 
• Creativity, Courage, and Care — Fostering a culture where people are encouraged to take creative risks, challenge assumptions, and support one another. 
• Advancing the Polytechnic Mandate — Connecting Arts education to real-world challenges through applied learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, creative practice, research, and community partnerships. 
• Sustaining Community — Building meaningful relationships that strengthen our university, our region, and the communities we serve.
