    June 20, 2018 Honourable David Joanasie Minister Responsible for Nunavut Arctic College PO Box 2410 Iqaluit, Nunavut X0A 0H0 Dear Minister Joanasie: I am responding to your Letter of Expectation for 2018-19 dated April 16, 2018. The Board of Governors (Board) wishes to acknowledge your continued support and willingness to discuss the priorities and directions outlined in your letter. At our Board meeting in early April, we reviewed the Turaaqtavut mandate with our new President. We are assured that the 2018-2021 direction of the College will align very closely with the new government’s mandate, particularly in the areas of developing individual and community self-reliance, providing local skills and trades training, creating opportunities for Inuktut learning and teaching situations, establishing strategic partnerships, and operating in a fiscally responsible manner. The Board of Governors supported and directed the President of Nunavut Arctic College to reorganize the institution to improve administrative and academic accountability and to support student success. We are pleased to see a fourth Dean was created to lead the Centre for Teaching and Learning based in Arviat and look forward to seeing strategic plans and objectives set out to support staff and learners at the Community Learning Centres. Through the College’s new and existing programs, the Board is hopeful that more Nunavummiut, in particular Inuit, will participate in all aspects of the Nunavut workforce, including at our College. The College has benefited from the Inuit Language Implementation Fund and will continue to implement the Uqausivut 2.0 Comprehensive Plan for the benefit of Nunavummiut. The College continues to base its programs and learning culture on the principles of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit.
