In 2024, Premier Wakeham said abandoning Memorial University and telling it to 'go fix your problems' was 'not good enough.' These are his own words, on the record with CBC. Budget-2026 is his chance to prove he believed them.

"It is now time for a federal-provincial strategy on public postsecondary education: essential infrastructure in this nation-building era."

CAUT President Robin Whitaker on the hollowing out of public postsecondary education: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Me and three astrophysics grad students standing in front of the CBC sign.

The graduate students sitting in the radio studio with the host.

Proud supervisor moment with some of the grad students chatting with CBC’s On the Go about the Artemis II return. The students did an amazing job. #Astronomy #WeAreMUN

Deep funding cuts = deep losses

Imagine how much potential can be realized if leaders return to funding our university as the investment in NL it’s always been ?

If we want MUN graduates to invest their education and skills in NL’s Health systems…maybe NL should invest in them

If investing in our only university seems costly, wait until you see the costs of not funding it ⬇️

MUN has strong community engagement

Some NLers are born here. And some choose to become NLers by doing their part to contribute and make their communities and province stronger every day. We’re so lucky to have newcomers who give their all to their new home.

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing.
A course that changed someone’s life.
A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador.
A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future.
A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2

way to go MUN!!

Despite the cuts since 2016, the MUN community has been delivering ❤️
