The new brand, inspired by uSudbury’s century-old bell, evokes the spirit of resilience and vitality of the Franco-Ontarian community and its 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.”
