We are a small, undergraduate institution in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Our beautiful campus is situated at the heart of the Great Lakes, with St. Mary’s River separating us from USA.

Shaping the FutureOur network of more than 30,000 Mount alumnae stays connected through activities, programs and communications from the Mount’s Alumnae Association which celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2011. The Mount also continues to develop connections with a number of individuals, organizations and businesses in the community on projects that improve our community, our campus and our students’ experience. Thanks to the efforts of a task force of committed leaders and many generous donors and supporters, the Mount will open its new environmentally friendly Margaret Norrie McCain Centre for Teaching, Learning and Research in May of 2015. Offering students a learning environment that is contemporary, technology-rich and interactive, the McCain Centre will be home to programs and initiatives in women’s studies, business, tourism and communications, and will be the first building on a Canadian University campus dedicated to the advancement of women. In short, the new McCain Centre will transform our instructional environment resulting in a tremendous impact on our core mission: teaching. Campus lifeThe Mount has an active and engaging campus life. Students can opt to participate in a number of groups and societies, many of which reinforce the Mount’s commitment to social justice and address interests and topics in a wide range of realms, including: academic, international, political, environmental, social, community service and recreational. Students can choose to live on campus through a range of options including traditional residence, townhouses or apartment style residence. Home to some of the best athletes and teams in the region and country, athletics and recreation play a big role in campus life at the Mount. Our Mount Mystics varsity teams have been recognized for their athletic ability, their academics and fair play. The Mount’s fitness centre offers a wide range of classes and programs for students and community members. |
