University’s new slogan is ‘Ici, on réussit (Here, we succeed)’
The Université de Sudbury (uSudbury) says it is celebrating an amazing milestone.
The university, located on the Laurentian University campus, marked 49 years of the Franco-Ontarian flag on Wednesday.
In collaboration with L’Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario du grand Sudbury (ACFO), uSudbury raised the Franco-Ontarian flag, launched its new brand image and opened the registration period for the 2025-26 academic year.
The university will offer 33 new programs and program options in commerce and administration, health sciences, arts, social sciences and sciences. Each program is built around uSudbury’s minor in leadership, an exclusive and innovative competency-based program designed to help students succeed in a diverse, complex and dynamic labour market.
The university’s new slogan, Ici, on réussit (Here, we succeed), underlines its commitment to student success by providing an environment where everyone can thrive academically, socially and professionally. The new brand, inspired by uSudbury’s 100-year-old bell, evokes the spirit of the resilience and vitality of the Franco-Ontarian community and its university.

“Ici, we do things differently. Ici, we offer students the opportunity to acquire both a solid foundation of knowledge and the practical skills that employers are looking for,” Serge Miville, president and vice-chancellor of uSudbury, said in a release. “Our commitment by and for students involve them directly in the co-creation of their university.
“Ici, we work with them to build an institution that meets their needs. Ici, we encourage teamwork, because we never grow alone. Ici, we are proud to support students’ academic and professional success.”
The university also announced Wednesday a series of bursaries and scholarships to help support students and their families “in making a university education affordable in the north.”
An automatic entrance scholarship of $12,000 — $3,000 annually for four years — is available to Ontario residents who enrol on a full-time basis.
Northern French-language and immersion high schools will be able to offer up to three scholarships worth $3,000 each, to help students and their families achieve their post-secondary dreams.
Finally, 50 bursaries of $2,000 each will cover students’ accommodation costs at the uSudbury residence.
Students who qualify for these scholarships will be able to accumulate as much as $17,000 in financial support over four years, including $8,000 for the 2025-26 academic year. These scholarships are in addition to those regularly awarded by the university, including the prestigious Normand Forest Leadership Program scholarship.
Applications are currently open (uSudbury is committed to providing a response within 30 days of an application so that students and their families can plan for the future).
Founded in 1913, the Université de Sudbury is a pioneer in higher education in Northern Ontario. The university is committed to providing an inclusive and culturally dynamic learning environment.
Through its strategic partnerships, uSudbury said it offers transformative programs designed to meet the needs of students today, and leaders tomorrow.
The Franco-Ontarian flag, created by youth from Northern Ontario a generation ago, was first raised on Sept. 25, 1975, at the Université de Sudbury.
