Cumberland College currently housing record number of international students
Cumberland College, known for providing education to students in northeast Saskatchewan, has vastly increased its educational reach.
Instead of limiting its student pool to Melfort, Tisdale, and Nipawin, Cumberland College has attracted students from India, China, Nigeria, Suriname, and the Philippines.
Brandy Wicks, Cumberland College’s international student advisor, told northeastNOW the increased diversity is providing an exciting opportunity.
“It’s a good opportunity for the international students as well as the domestic students that are taking the classes with them because they get to learn so much about the cultures that our international students come from throughout the year,” Wicks said.
