A new partnership has brought this year’s Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP) students to Brandon University.
Sean-Dee Gayle, Shamar Mason and Santino Peddie of The Mico University College in Kingston, Jamaica are studying at BU through the international exchange program. The trio are the first cohort of students from The Mico to participate in ELAP. Gayle is working toward his Bachelor of Education Degree, while Mason and Peddie are Bachelor of Science students majoring in Computer Science.
ELAP provides undergraduate and graduate students from institutions in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Mexico with scholarship opportunities for short-term research or course-oriented exchanges with Canadian universities. The program has been in place for nearly 20 years, bringing close to 100 students to BU.
“ELAP has been an incredibly valuable pathway for students and Brandon University alike, fostering the rich exchange of diverse ideas, cultures and perspectives to create a more inclusive experience, both in and outside the classroom, for all students,” said David Rowland, Director of International Activities at BU.
