Canadian University Report
It's my pleasure to let you know that this year's Canadian University Report was published on Oct 25 as a printed magazine and distributed through The Globe and Mail newspaper, and is also available in its complete form online as a downloadable PDF or an easily readable eZine.
There's a long-standing debate as to the reasons young men and women should attend university. Traditionalists maintain that the ivory towers are there to produce well-rounded, thinking individuals and that undergraduates should first learn for learning's sake and worry about employment training later.
The Canadian University Report recognize that thoughts of a future career are implicit in the university application process for most high-school students today. There are so many choices of career, and so many university programs that lead to that end, that a bad choice of campus or degree can be a costly mistake to make. That's why we have added a new element to the mix in this year's magazine: a section called Working Knowledge, a careers-oriented wealth of information designed to help students tailor their university search to complement their future employment goals.
Of course, the magazine still features the annual undergraduate-satisfaction survey. It's an amazing resource to help applicants make the right choice. If students want to find out what life is really like on the campuses they have in mind, this survey will help them.
Also new this year is a series of 12 video clips (as featured on BNN TV in October in November) with many representatives of universities and some colleges on "The Right Choice for Undergrad Studies".
You will be able to find all of this material online at GlobeCampus.ca
