University’s board of governors hears latest on developments at campuses in Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins and Brampton
Excitement for the year ahead, which will be marked by the introduction of Algoma University’s first stand-alone graduate degree, was expressed as the university’s board of governors convened for their first regular meeting of the year.
President and Vice-Chancellor Asima Vezina expressed her enthusiasm over the introduction of a Master of Science in Biology, approved by the Academic Senate earlier this month. “Graduate programs such as these will be of considerable interest to students while providing numerous benefits for our campus communities as we generate new research activities for faculty and students. The graduate programs enable new funding opportunities to support research and innovative partnership opportunities with our community partners furthering Algoma’s purpose-driven impact.
The project has evolved to include the first phase of the Mental Health and Addictions Research and Training Institute. It will open up space for partnership in this area with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University. Algoma also continues to enhance opportunities for students interested in completing their undergraduate studies in Timmins.
The university continues to dialogue with others from Timmins and the surrounding region, including newly-elected Mayor Michelle Boileau, as well as leaders from Mattagami First Nation, on other potential opportunities to expand university programming and accessibility in North-Eastern Ontario.
