Huron\u2019s president, Dr. Barry Craig, delves into the university\u2019s distinctive student experience, the factors shaping its ongoing legacy and its commitment to fostering civic-minded leaders dedicated to the common good.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_factors_contributing_to_Hurons_success_as_the_fastest-growing_university_in_Ontario\"><\/span><strong>What are the factors contributing to Huron\u2019s success as the fastest-growing university in Ontario?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I think students want the obvious advantage of studying in a small community. At Huron, they not only receive personal support inside and outside the classroom, but have an easier time making friends and establishing social networks. Furthermore, Huron is not a generic institution. We have a clear mission: to develop <em>leaders with heart<\/em>, compassionate and thoughtful students who want to make a positive difference in society.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Huron_nurture_this_quality_in_its_students\"><\/span><strong>How does Huron nurture this quality in its students?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, a Huron student needs to be willing to lead not only in their words but by their deeds. We encourage our students to stand up and take an active role in their communities. Second, true leadership must be rooted in principles like empathy, generosity and kindness. What motivates our leadership matters; we want the \u201cheart\u201d of our mission to underpin the leadership skills our students develop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Hurons_strategic_growth_plan_contribute_to_a_unique_student_experience\"><\/span><strong>How does Huron\u2019s strategic growth plan contribute to a unique student experience?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We believe that Huron is nearly ideal at its current size. We will never compromise educational quality or our distinctive mission in order to cram more students into classrooms for financial benefit. That\u2019s why all incoming students are guaranteed a room in Huron\u2019s on-campus residences\u2014including a new, state-of-the-art, $61-million facility slated to open this September.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse community where students benefit from one another\u2019s unique perspectives. Twenty per cent of our student body hail from over 50 countries around the world, while the remainder represents every region of Canada. Huron students have ample opportunity to break out of their bubbles and learn how other people\u2014their friends\u2014learn and live.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1258787\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1258787 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Barry Craig, Huron University President\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-171x96.jpg 171w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-489x275.jpg 489w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/macleans.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/MAC_Huron_DrBarryCraig-766x431.jpg 766w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Barry Craig, Huron University President<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_share_an_initiative_that_fosters_students_development_as_civic-minded_leaders\"><\/span><strong>Can you share an initiative that fosters students\u2019 development as civic-minded leaders? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Huron is proud to be the only university in the country that asks every student to volunteer in the community, whether on campus or on the other side of the world. Our aim is to help develop their empathy and selflessness. I would rather have a student do one hour of genuine service than one hundred hours to tick a box. To that end, we help students find areas of service that they truly care about. It\u2019s all about developing the habit of compassionate leadership.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_discuss_the_importance_of_maintaining_a_tight-knit_community_small_class_sizes_and_one_of_the_highest_scholarship-per-student_distributions_in_Canada\"><\/span><strong>Can you discuss the importance of maintaining a tight-knit community, small class sizes and one of the highest scholarship-per-student distributions in Canada?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These factors are essential to our mission because we want every member of our community to feel included and involved.
