Engaging 和 supporting commuter students.

首页 > Current 学生 > Commuter Connect

任务 Statement:

Did you know that approximately 1 out of every 5 students here 在卡托巴语 are commuters?

Many students often feel being a commuter puts them at a disadvantage, 然而, 在卡托巴语, you can be just as part of the 卡托巴语 Community as residential students. This page serves as a resource for all commuter students 在卡托巴语 to provide information about campus involvement, academic support, 和 personal enrichment.
