Relatively small class sizes encourage communication between students and faculty, allow greater opportunity for "hands-on" experience in labs and easier accessibility to a wide range of facilities as diverse as computers and squash courts. A variety of campus clubs bring students together on the basis of shared interests and goals. Many clubs are involved with local and national endeavours in addition to serving the immediate needs of their members. The Student Union offers each student the opportunity to become involved in academic, political and social affairs both on and off-campus. Classic and modern movies are screened on a weekly basis; local dramatic groups present their work in the campus theatre. Dances and concerts, showcasing national and regional talent, are held regularly. A library housing 500,000 volumes, modern laboratories, extensive research facilities, and lecture rooms of all sizes support the academic activities of the University. In deference to our northernly location, many of the buildings are connected by ground tunnel for comfortable walking during inclement weather. The Native Nurses Entry Program is a nine month preparation program designed to provide the necessary skills and academic preparation required for successful completion of the four (4) year nursing degree program.
