Delving deeper

Getting down to work
in the classroom
Engaging
with the faculty

There is inspiration that grows from the level of engagement you'll find here that simply doesn't exist in larger settings. It goes far beyond our lecture rooms, labs and facilities—and it's deeper than something you'll get from a book. It's about rolling up your sleeves and getting off campus to study porpoises in the Bay of Fundy, or helping to develop tidal energy solutions in the world's highest tides. It's about you coming together with a place that is devoted to creating experiences that rise above the expected and lift you right along with them.
