News

Trent University has received a $500K gift from RBC Royal Bank to support experiential learning opportunities for students in the Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership program. Over the next five years, the funding will support marginalized and equity-seeking students; prepare professional certificate programs; and enhance opportunities for seminars, conferences, networking, co-op education, and work placements. “Experiential elements are integral to the success of the groundbreaking Jarislowsky program, and this funding will provide Trent students with an even richer experience when studying politics, fiduciary policy and responsible governance,” said Trent Director of Co-op, Careers, & Experiential Learning Kevin Whitmore.
