Brandon University and Assiniboine College partnered with the Brandon Chamber of Commerce for a conference-style event, ConnectED, that offered more than 100 students the opportunity to connect with local industry. Using a “speed dating” model, the half-day conference matched students with industry experts in their areas of interest, giving them dedicated facetime to ask career questions, gain insider tips and tricks, and build their personal networks.

A Brandon University student is hanging a unique portrait of Newfoundland puffins after her caption was selected in an interactive art show at BU’s Curve Gallery.
The show featured portraits of Atlantic Puffins — colourfully beaked birds with engaging personalities — and invited viewers to suggest their proposed tag lines for the varied and often silly poses that the puffins were captured in. Some may think of the project as similar to making memes; older attendees may have been reminded of a New Yorker cartoon caption contest.
