The University of Winnipeg signed a Memorandum of Understanding March 29 with the prestigious Canada-US Fulbright Program, strengthening the University’s focus on internationalization and opening up opportunities for UWinnipeg students and faculty to lecture, research and pursue graduate studies in the United States, and for Americans to do the same at UWinnipeg.

“The University of Winnipeg is a city university with plans for growth. There’s a lot of tradition here, and a lot of vision. It’s a good fit with the Fulbright Program,” said Dr. Michael Hawes, Executive Director of the Canada-US Fulbright Program, administered by the Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the USA.
