Longtime community leader, physician, and Brandon University supporter Dr. Bill Myers was honoured Wednesday with the Brandon University Foundation Honorary Trustee Apex Award, the Foundation’s highest recognition for meritorious service and outstanding leadership.

Brandon University students had a unique opportunity to connect with one of Canada’s leading economic voices when alumna Carolyn Rogers, Senior Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada, returned to campus late last month.

While in Brandon to speak at the Brandon Chamber of Commerce Economic Outlook Luncheon on March 26, Rogers also generously made time to meet directly with BU students in an intimate, interactive session.

Assiniboine College and Brandon University teamed up once again with the Brandon Chamber of Commerce to host ConnectED, a conference-style event that matched more than 80 students with dozens of professionals in fields they’re interested in.

Students rotated through 30‑minute mentorship rounds, hosted by one to two industry leaders, where they could ask questions and build meaningful connections with a variety of professions and sectors. Following the afternoon sessions, students joined members of the community and fellow alumni from both institutions for a come-and-go mixer.
