Last fall, Clark Hall also marked 110 years since its original construction.

Brandon University remains the best university in Canada for students who want to get to know their professors, according to Maclean’s magazine, with an outstanding 12 students per faculty member, and impressively low class sizes, especially in third- and fourth-year classes.
“Students who choose Brandon University tell us they are attracted to our supportive, welcoming environment, and small classes are a big part of that,” said Interim BU President Dr. Steve Robinson.

With September having drawn to a close, Western Manitoba’s two post-secondary institutions are thrilled with the reaction to this year’s “Great Chemistry” campaign to welcome students for the fall term.
This year’s campaign focused on the benefits of the partnership between ACC and BU, as well as the benefits that students bring to the community.

Brandon University (BU) is hosting a visiting national exhibition that explores the ongoing impacts of the Residential School System among Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Peoples in Canada.
The exhibit, 100 Years of Loss: The Residential School System in Canada, will be placed in the Gathering Space on the first floor of the John E. Robbins Library at BU, where it will be open to the public throughout normal library hours from now until Oct. 20.
“We are honoured to bring this important and thought-provoking exhibition here to Brandon, and we encourage everyone to take some time to visit, to view, and to consider its message,” said BU Interim President Steve Robinson.
