The Office of Liaison and Student Recruitment also hosted guidance counsellors from local high schools for a forum last week to provide them with information on admissions, student awards, opportunities for experiential learning, and pathways for transfer from college programs.

“This year we specifically asked the guidance counsellors for feedback on our recruiting brochures and presentation,” said Dave Bussière, assistant vice president, records and admissions. “Their comments will impact our 2012-13 strategy.”
