Fifteen Brandon University (BU) students are spending their summer working on research projects with support from the federal Tri-Agency Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs).

The bulk of the projects — 13 of them — are receiving funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) each supporting one USRA project at BU this summer.

Brandon University’s Cooperative Education Program (BU Co-op) has achieved 100 per cent employment for its students for the second year in a row. This outstanding accomplishment underscores BU Co-op’s dedication to providing unparalleled career opportunities and professional development to its students. Forty-one BU Co-op students are employed this summer in fields that match their career aspirations.

Brandon University’s Spring Convocation concluded today with ceremonies that celebrated graduates in the Faculties of Health Studies and Arts.

In the morning ceremony, more than 110 Health Studies grads received their degrees in nursing and in psychiatric nursing, followed by more than 130 Arts degrees bestowed in the afternoon ceremony.
