Brian Campbell - UOIT

Al Strike (L), Brian Campbell, and Brian Bontje

The program saw Brian Campbell from UOIT update the club on the university.

Enrolment has been steadily increasing year over year. The growth year over year has been so great that the university has been able to offer some graduate programs. This is unprecedented that a relatively new institution has been able to do this. Usually this occurs after a generation or two.

The university had to get into major research projects in order to stay effective in a modern context. The increased growth and ability to take on new research projects has allowed the university to offer new disciplines of study year after year.

Since UOIT is a new university it has been a struggle to get a profile for the university. Now the university is on McLeans top university list.

The university is positioned to alleviate the GTA's increased demand for post-secondary education. There is a growing demand for post-secondary education in the GTA as the population continues to grow.

The draw this week was for $1,978. Chuck C pulled the 2 of spades, better luck next time!!! Remember you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. Good luck!
