Message from the Dean

It is my privilege to serve as Dean of The University of Winnipeg Collegiate (UWC). What makes our private high school so unique is the blend of academic challenge, personal connection, and community spirit that students experience here. The Collegiate is not only a place to earn credits — it is a place to discover passions, take risks, and build relationships that last far beyond graduation.

Our students enjoy the best of both worlds: the small classes and close-knit community of a high school, combined with access to all the resources of the University of Winnipeg. Whether it’s taking dual credit or first-year university courses in Grade 12, studying in UW’s library, exploring research in our labs, diving into books at the UofW Library, or getting active at the Axworthy Health & RecPlex, opportunities abound.

At UWC, we believe education is more than grades and numbers — it’s about the journey. We encourage our students to try new things, make mistakes, laugh along the way, and grow through the experience. You might even find me in the middle of our annual tug-of-war at the Fall Outing (where, I admit, the faculty usually claim victory — for now).

As Dean, I’m excited to build on The Collegiate’s long history while leading it into a future full of growth, innovation, and opportunity. But above all, what matters most here are the relationships: the trust, mentorship, and inspiration shared between students and faculty. After all, formulas and facts may fade, but the people who believe in you stay with you for a lifetime.

If you’d like to learn more about what makes UWC such a special place, I invite you to connect with us.
