If a university program guaranteed you meaningful employment within six months of graduation, would you sign up?

This is a question University of Regina students are now faced with. The Saskatchewan university will be the first in Canada to offer this type of incentive to its students by implementing the UR Guarantee in fall 2010.

The university said it has confidence in the guarantee because their graduates had a 97 per cent employment success rate in the past year and, with the addition of this program, they hope to push this up to 100 per cent.

Carleton received a B- overall on the College Sustainability Report Card released Oct. 7, an improvement from the D-  the university received last year.

A centerpiece of Carleton’s new sustainability efforts was its hiring of a sustainability officer in April 2009. Murdo Murchison was tasked with creating “a strategy on environmental issues, energy, waste and transportation management, campus planning and renovation projects that will incorporate community involvement,” Carleton’s website said.
