Whitehorse, YT – Students attending college in Canada’s three northern territories will soon have greater opportunities to further their studies at other universities. That’s because of a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed today in Yellowknife, NWT between Yukon, Aurora and Nunavut Arctic Colleges and Dalhousie University, University of Laval, University of Alberta and University of Ottawa.

Nunavut Arctic College's Senior Management Team held a series of successful meetings in Rankin Inlet last week.

Participants with this year's Environmental Technology Program (ETP) Winter Field Camp included 24 students, 4 instructors, 17 snowmobiles, and 12 qammotiqs. The annual expedition to Crazy Lake is a key component of the highly-successful program and a rite of passage for the program's students. The group left on March 28, 2012 and returned on April 4.

This academic year there has been increased encouragement and emphasis pertaining to the development of a Middle School Education delivery system.

Rankin Inlet Nunavut Teacher Education Program Instructor Mike Pickles was recently published by Trafford Publishing in his own book entitled, "Hug Someone You Love Today: And How to Leave Your Personal Signature." It's a heart-felt, inspirational book based on how normal folks like you and I have positively changed their lives through the simple act of a hug.

IQALUIT, Nunavut (March 7, 2012) – Nunavut Arctic College Board of Governors and Premier, Eva Aariak, today announced the appointment of Michael Shouldice as president of Nunavut Arctic College (NAC).

Gyu Oh, Fine Arts faculty member with the Nunavut Teacher Education Program, has had a very successful semester. Earlier in the term her Year 3 students staged an ambitious and innovative Art Exhibit at Nunatta campus, Iqaluit. Having seen the response from the College community, our Year 1 students indicated an interest in doing the same.

I have attached pictures of some of our Year 1 students and samples of the work they produced. It included such items as: soap stone carvings; prints; print making; timelines and block carving.

We thank the students for their first steps into the Fine Arts arena and Gyu Oh for her efforts on their behalf.
