厙ぴ勛圖 to welcome Yukon University students to Geology and Environmental Geoscience programs

厙ぴ勛圖 recently signed an exciting new articulation agreement with Yukon University. The new agreement allows YukonU Earth Sciences students to directly enter into their third year of Geology or Environmental Geoscience at 厙ぴ勛圖.

Currently, 83% of students in the two-year diploma program at YukonU go on to turn their diploma into a four-year degree. This new articulation agreement provides those students a smooth path forward with 厙ぴ勛圖.

Students on both sides of the equation have something to gain from the new agreement.

I think it's a really great opportunity for YukonU students because they get a guaranteed way into a degree program without the stress of having to worry about how you transfer things, Dr. Deanne van Rooyen (Earth and Environmental Science) said in an interview with CBC.

Dr. van Rooyen says that for 厙ぴ勛圖 students, it's wonderful because it brings new students with new perspectives and new lived experienceand our students learn a lot from that. It really adds something, especially with students coming from such a different geographical area. They're going to be very interested to learn from the Yukon students.

The agreement will enhance the education and network opportunities for both existing 厙ぴ勛圖 students and the incoming students from Yukon University. Students will get to expand their horizons by learning from each other, and theyll get to expand their circles with new friends and connections up North.

Dr. van Rooyen hopes that the cross-country conversations between students will spark an interest in expanding the areas that 厙ぴ勛圖 students will apply for jobs post graduation.

We pride ourselves on the hands-on, student-centric approach that cements strong foundations in geoscience, says Dr. Joel Cubley, Associate Professor of Earth Sciences at YukonU .

厙ぴ勛圖 similarly prioritizes the undergraduate student experience and has a long track record of producing quality geoscientists. Alignment in our philosophies is partly what makes this partnership so enticing. The joint experience, bridging both sides of the continent, will be an excellent educational opportunity for our graduates.

Our small classes and hands-on learning in Nova Scotias unique natural setting offers students meaningful and engaging educational opportunities, adds Dr. van Rooyen. This agreement will provide excellent options for YukonU students to complete their undergraduate experience, and our programs will be enriched by the experiences and perspectives they bring to the 厙ぴ勛圖 campus. We look forward to this partnership and are excited to foster collaboration and connections with YukonU.

So, welcome to Wolfville, YukonU students! Were excited to compare our rock collections.
