As a former faculty member, staff member and Academic Dean here at the College, I can attest that ours is a unique institution in this aspect. Since the Congrégation de Notre-Dame founded the College in 1908, Marianopolis has educated generations of motivated young people from all backgrounds who have helped transform Montreal and the world. We are proud of our unique heritage and of our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, a shared pursuit by all members of our inclusive college. Guillaume Bouchard '19 described this best in his valedictory speech last June, when he praised every College employee's “shared dedication to excellence that makes Marianopolis both a home- away-from-home and a world-opening institution.” Sincerely, Christian Corno Director General Page 2 | Marianopolis College MESSAGE FROM THE ACADEMIC DEAN arianopolis offers unparalleled pre- university education in a community Mdevoted to transforming the lives of young people. I am proud of our inspirational, skillful faculty and their innovative pedagogical practices. Indeed, our graduates consistently tell us that the College not only gave them entry into their university of first choice but it prepared them to become engaged citizens of the world. Another vital quality that distinguishes Marianopolis is our supportive and stimulating environment, in the classroom and beyond, that helps students to reach their full potential, both academically and personally. I hope you will explore this Viewbook and learn about our pre-university programs, our caring support inside and outside the classroom, why being among academically strong students will actually help your R-Score, how easy it is to access our campus, and more. Sincerely, Eric Lozowy Academic Dean Marianopolis College | Page 3 MARIANOPOLIS, A TRADITION arianopolis is a private college offering university preparatory programs in a Mmotivating and welcoming atmosphere. Since the turn of the 20th Century, the College has been fostered by the spirit of dedication of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame and, while adapting to the times, has never sacrificed its commitment to academic excellence. Beginning as a Catholic bilingual college offering a university degree program for women, Marianopolis, as it is known today, welcomes male and female students of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. The thread of continuity between its rich past and exciting present has been the College's unwavering determination to offer its students the best educational preparation. Marianopolis offers pre- university college programs to students seeking a DEC in a friendly learning environment where the student is the centre. THE MARIANOPOLIS COLLEGE CREST The open book symbolizes an institution dedicated to educating students from all backgrounds in Montreal and the world. The monogram AM is the College motto, Auspice Maria (under the guidance of Mary). Together with the image of the walled city it signifies the city of Mary, Marianopolis. The star and crescent are taken from the seal of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, the Catholic order that founded the College. The wavy band with diamonds is an adaptation of the Archdiocese of Montreal's coat of arms.
