A group of 15 Brazilian science students will study at Algoma University during the upcoming year as part of the Science Without Borders exchange program.
The program is administered by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE).
“Students will begin with a four-month intensive ESL curriculum,” said Joanne Elvy, director of international student recruitment, in a news release. “From there they will move on to full-time degree studies, and spend the spring/summer semester next year in internships at the university research labs, the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre, as well as-off campus at the Great Lakes Forestry Research Centre and the Ontario Forestry Research Institute.”
The Sault Ste. Marie participants are part of a larger program which will see more than 700 students, hailing from all over Brazil, attending 51 institutions across Canada.
