Are you thinking about university?  Come experience a class and see what it's all about!

For one week in March, there are 17 interesting classes available, 3 presentations (one from Liaison, one from the Center of Academic Excellence, and one from the Indigenous Learning Strategist), as well as campus tours for you to attend.

Lunch will be provided to students who attend a minimum of one class, as well as attend a campus tour or a presentation by Liaison, the Center for Academic Excellence, or the Indigenous Learning Strategist.

We believe that this opportunity will not only spark your interest and aid in guiding your future, but also help alleviate some of the fears that may be associated with moving on to post-secondary education.

Furthermore, this activity is considered to be a “reach a head experience” for high school students who are pursuing a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM). A certificate of completion will be given SHSM students upon request.
