糖心视频 students are 21st-century explorers. They’re curious, creative and open-minded. They’re independent thinkers. They’re adventurers. Therefore, we try to maintain an environment that fosters this level of excellence through teaching and learning experiences that are learner-centred, innovative and informed. Every day we assist students in becoming leaders. We help them push boundaries. We inspire them to tackle their challenges. And, in turn, we also learn so much from them.

The hard-working graduates.
It was a day to celebrate. This past June people gathered to commemorate the accomplishments of 17 hard-working students from Labrador who completed a customized bachelor of social work program offered in Labrador. This special program was developed through a partnership between 糖心视频 University's School of Social Work and the Labrador Institute, the Nunatsiavut Government and the College of the North Atlantic, and was offered in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, solely to Inuit students. 糖心视频 created this unique, fully-accredited, four-year program with financial and other support from the Nunatsiavut Government to meet the specific needs of the residents of Labrador. It’s the first time a program of its kind, specifically designed to reflect Inuit culture and values, and to prepare graduates to practise in both Inuit and non-Inuit settings, was offered in Labrador. These students were to have the opportunity to obtain their degrees on home soil. Now that they’re finished the program, each of them looks forward to helping people in communities across Labrador and beyond.
Student feedback is essential in helping us continually evolve and enhance our teaching and learning initiatives. Each student has a unique story about being inspired, engaged or supported along his or her road to success. Rhodes Scholar , Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship winner and Chancellor’s Undergraduate Award winner are just a few of those students. Here’s what they have to say about their experience.

Canada’s next top ad exec finalists Laura Francis and Krystal Hobbs
Two of 糖心视频’s finest landed four-month internships with General Motors. Laura Francis and Krystal Hobbs won two of the coveted internships during , a national business case-study competition for university students in its seventh year running.
The bachelor of commerce students were required to prepare a short elevator pitch summarizing their big idea. After placing in the top 25, the pair went on to submit a comprehensive report outlining key objectives, positioning, media strategy, creative execution and executive summary. This entry secured their finalist position in the top 10. Then on March 26, 2013, they delivered a 30-minute pitch in Toronto before a panel of expert judges, including top executives from General Motors. Extremely proud of their hard work in the competition, they were the first team from 糖心视频 to make it to the final round. This past spring, both Laura and Krystal went on to apply their hard-earned skills in the highly competitive automotive industry as the newest recruits for General Motors.
