December 3
Watch Student Arden Brock on It Is Written Canada – “Facing the Devil”

 To say everything in life is easy to understand is far from the truth. Traumatic accidents happen, and we wonder why. Why did this happen to me? How do I make sense of this? These are the types of questions Arden Brock found himself asking after facing more than one life-threatening encounter. When the big one caught him by surprise, he saw the face of the evil one tempting him to take the easy way out and end it all. Watch It Is Written Canada on CTV in Alberta on Saturday, December 3 at 11:00 AM or watch it here after 12:30 pm on the same day. (YouTube Link)

Government Funding

The government has moved its funding approach from a general one to a targeted funding model which aims to build capacity in priority areas of the government. Burman has benefited from this in the last year in that we applied for additional funding for our School of Business which provides programs which the government has prioritized. You may remember an earlier announcement of $600,000 over three years provided for building enrolment in our management stream. More recently, our application for funding for micro-credentials in the area of finance and entrepreneurship was approved. A total of $170,000 was provided to develop and provide these new programs.
