Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development

Negahneewin is an Ojibwe word for "leading the way".

Create Common Ground

At Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development, our priority is to sustain a learning space described by diversity, self-reliance and success in learning. The classroom is only the beginning. Experience a vibrant learning community that reflects the dynamic region that is Northwestern Ontario. Embrace a learning culture where students from across many programs, backgrounds and interests are sharing traditions and creating common ground.

Do the Dialogue

Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development is a college within and throughout Confederation College. The image that best describes what this means to us is that of a canoe on the water, set within a rugged and startling landscape. The canoe carries people of varied cultures, interests and perspectives who must learn to work and live together to achieve their destination. We have a vision of a place where all learners achieve the knowledge, skills and understanding to continue to do the dialogue to create community, economic and spiritual growth.

Tell the Truth

The place where we live is vast and ancient. Caring for the land is inseparable from caring for ourselves and our communities. As changes in economy, society, and technology place increasing demands on the earth, we must be prepared to meet that change with our minds and our spirits fully engaged. Negahneewin College is grounded in Northwestern Ontario. We listen to our communities as they prepare to embrace the future. We are ready to go wherever our learners are to deliver the right knowledge, in the right place, at the right time.

Negahneewin is leading the way for Confederation as a regional community college. This demands that we engage in an open dialogue where we speak the truth as we know it and work continually to understand each other.
