Morning At the U of S




The University has recieved several very large grants this year.
Here it's really a city that is very different to many within Canada
as it's becoming the place where everyone is coming too learn.

All the archeticture is still being done with expansions to keep
the theme of what this university stands for. I had the chance to
sit down with a one student that was making their way from
animal science to veterinary medicine. We sat for a while
talking about what this persons aspirations.

The aspirations and dedication were there. And I really find
this to be one university that when I left it there has been
nearly 3 billion dollars placed into it only by way a small portion
of the government but most are all are independant contributors.

There are three new buildings going up and then the bio research
and light source energy are seperate as they have had international
investments.

Having been to this very university and obtaining my first degree.
I can truly say the CEO by the name of Mckinnon has literally
taken this not to a Havard but on a per capita basis it's a tremendous
University.

To see on a Saturday morning which I did not wish to intrude on there
studies...I feel that the future of our tomorrow is really in great hands.
A good mentor of mine placed over 10 million into this place every year.

He is very older now but he first graduated from here and literally where
the money is being spent is not being wasted.

  6. Nice interview with Hannah. Seems like a good way to spend a morning.
    Quite different from my mornings of late. I've been dragging them, doing
    nothing productive or exciting until much later in the day. You might say I'm in a morning rut. ;~D

  8. Frani, I am out early and after yesterday I just wanted to enjoy the morning and then some.
    I actually sat and talked to this one student and I found that it was great.
    Oh I had that kind of a day yesterday from the doctor then with so many other things
    but now I just got home and got take out and there are good days as well as the bad.
    So aside of Hanna there was this young lady that was from a town that
    was only of 400 people. She was there all alone and yet she had her mind set on one
    thing...just a thought.

  9. Arielle, I don't think we do....never do we. For the one that thinks
    they know it all - life has come to closure.

  10. No it was just very early and as well there were a few areas "think tanks" as I call
    theme that there was five all working within about 4 of 10. Yet I was not about to go in
    and say "Hi, I would like to interview you all".
    As well, it was early on a Saturday morning Frank.

    But I liked seeing and shareing the place that I had been before - I am not sure what
    you would call that?
