Saint Mary’s University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray
“International students contribute significantly to Canadian cultural diversity, society and economy,” says Saint Mary’s University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray. “These students have come to Canada for the exceptional quality of our post-secondary institutions, and they contribute enormously to research, teaching excellence and the role of the academy in civil society. This announcement provides the opportunity for those students to round out their academic experience.”
“By allowing international students greater flexibility for employment while they pursue their studies, students will gain even more valuable work experience in Canada and build deeper community connections,” says President Summerby-Murray. “I want to thank the Government of Canada for their foresight to finding solutions that support the growth of post-secondary students and the Canadian economy.”
In addition to his roles as President and Vice-Chancellor of Saint Mary’s University, Dr. Summerby-Murray is also a member of the board of EduNova.
