For decades, student leaders at Brandon College, now Brandon University (BU), held a symbolic staff that demonstrated the responsibility and honour of their elected positions.
The Senior Stick and Lady Stick were students who served senior roles in the student executive of the college, and although their precise roles and responsibilities changed over time, they were generally seen as student body president and vice-president, working with the heads of other student organizations and class year presidents to help the college’s social and student life run smoothly.
BRANDON, Man. – A pair of Brandon University (BU) students have doubled up on their international exchange options to earn a coveted semester abroad, studying human rights and international policy development at The Hague University in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Leadership in university and colleges comes in many forms, from the instructor teaching computer aided design and entering competitions, to break throughs by researchers, to creating a mandate for innovation at the senior level. Among the many articles, activities, and supports for innovation, what is often missed is the role of rural in an otherwise urban story of innovation.
