As a proud Memorial alumni, we know you recognize the value of your education and the importance of continuing this legacy with family members and friends. Memorial’s fall 2026 undergraduate application process is now open for programs at all our campuses. If you know someone who may be considering post-secondary, now is a perfect time to rediscover Memorial and all that we have to offer.
Memorial’s Office of Development and Alumni Engagement, in partnership with the Office of the Registrar’s Student Recruitment team, is inviting you to an online session on Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. (NL time) to learn about our undergraduate programs, campuses, and so much more!
This session will also feature recent graduate Chidinma Okpalaeke (BA'25), now pursuing her MA in political science at Memorial. Originally from Nigeria, Ms. Okpalaeke is recognized for her academic excellence and entrepreneurial spirit and was among the first cohort of the Memorial Limitless Leadership Program, a co-curricular program for women leaders. She will briefly discuss her experience as an international student and how her post-secondary education has shaped her worldview.
