Cumberland College president welcomes downtown P.A. university campus
Local post-secondary educators are eyeing up a recent deal after the University of Saskatchewan purchased a building in downtown Prince Albert as part of its plan to open a multi-program campus.
Cumberland College has campuses located across the Northeast Saskatchewan area where students can take courses leading toward degrees from both the University of Saskatchewan and University of Regina.
President Tom Weegar said a new P.A. campus is positive news for the entire North.
“For us as a college it’s all about accessibility,” Weegar told northeastNOW. “For the university to open a new campus in P.A., that’s great accessibility for northern folks and it opens up options.”
