The Verna J. Kirkness Science and Engineering Education Program was created to increase the number of Indigenous students going into Science and Engineering for their post secondary education. The focus is on grade 11 students but an exception could be made for Grade 12 students to attend if there is room. The Program is offered at 5 universities across Canada, including UBC and UVIC. For the May program, the students will be able to indicate their first choice. The Program in February will be offered at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley - February 18-22.
Please see Ms. Sansregret in the Career Centre if you are interested in this opportunity.
