One of the benefits of the demographic changes
in Newfoundland and Labrador is that Memorial can now accommodate more
out-of-province and international students without any concern that students
from Newfoundland and Labrador are being displaced.
The Sir Wilfred Grenfell College campus of Memorial is one of a number
of partners in the Humber Education Alliance, which has recently opened
an international student centre in Corner Brook’s Millbrook Mall.
The goal of the education alliance is to attract international students
to attend secondary and post-secondary schools in the Corner Brook area.
According to Dr. Axel Meisen, Memorial is endeavouring to increase the
number of international students for several reasons. Increased diversity
means a richer campus experience for all and the international market
is replete with recruiting opportunities for the university.
“International students see Memorial as a quality university, offering
excellent value for money,” Dr. Meisen explained. “In addition,
the university is involved in many areas of teaching and research that
appeal to international students.”
