Brandon University and the City of Dauphin have concluded a two-year pilot project that offered first-year BU courses in that city. The pilot project was originally implemented for Fall 2016 as a one-year test, and later extended to a second academic year, through 2017–18.
“We are grateful for the strong support this initiative received from the City of Dauphin, in particular both the late Dauphin mayor Eric Irwin, and current mayor Al Dowhan,” said Dr. Heather Duncan, BU’s Dean of Education.
