As we begin another wonderful year at Brandon University, it is delightful to welcome everyone back to in-person learning. We are proud of our open campus, and it’s been great to see so many people filling our courtyard, front lawn, and other shared spaces.

BRANDON – Hundreds of Brandon University students thronged campus for the first time today for Orientation, meeting new friends, finding out where their classes are, and learning everything they need for a great start at the Fall Term.
This year’s Orientation is the first to be held in-person since 2019, and incorporates lessons learned from the two years of virtual delivery.

A local business formerly run as a student-led enterprise at Brandon University took a step forward late last month when it opened a brick-and-mortar retail outlet on Rosser Avenue.
According to founder Parker Easter, ReNu Hygienics — which opened at the 15th and Rosser Mall on July 31 — saw its fair share of challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic but is ready to ramp up production.

A Brandon University Master’s student who is studying fossilized pollen and spores (called palynology) has been recognized with three awards for her ongoing research and outstanding potential.
Nidhi Patel, who is earning a Master of Science in Environmental and Life Sciences (MELS) at BU after previously earning a Bachelor of Science here, said the recognition is motivating.
