Summary:A new agreement means enhanced opportunities for Aboriginal students who want to earn business degrees at the University of Regina. The agreement allows students from the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) to transfer credits from their business diploma to the First Nations University of Canada and earn a University of Regina degree in two years. The signing ceremony was held at the First Nations University of Canada, and on hand were First Nations University President Dr. Mark Dockstator, SIIT President Riel Bellegarde, and U of R Associate Vice-President (Academic and Research) Dr. Dena McMartin. “The University of Regina is very excited to be expanding our partnerships in the province, and working with SIIT. We hold student success as paramount, and this includes opportunities to migrate from institutes and polytechnics toward university degrees,” said McMartin. Staff no
