Brandon University kicked off Homecoming Week activities with an inaugural Welcome Back Co-op Breakfast, bringing together more than 100 students, alumni, faculty, employers, and community leaders to celebrate the power of co-operative education.

Held Tuesday morning on campus, the event highlighted how BU’s Co-op program connects students to meaningful work opportunities across Manitoba, across Canada, and around the world — and how those experiences help build stronger communities and stronger futures.

Three exceptional Brandon University alumni will be celebrated at this year’s Homecoming Dinner and Awards Evening on Saturday, Sept. 13, as part of BU’s annual Homecoming weekend.

Brandon University is celebrating Dr. Aloysius C. Anyichie, who has been named one of this year’s Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Award recipients. This prestigious national honour celebrates immigrants making remarkable contributions to Canada and winners are selected through an extensive nomination, judging, shortlisting, and public online voting process.

Brandon University has launched this year’s “Destination BU” video challenge, celebrating the unique journeys international students take to get to BU.

This competition invites international students to create a short, social-media–style video showcasing their paths from their home country to their arrival on campus. It’s a great way to connect with others, celebrate your experience, and inspire future international students.
