Western University has announced that it will be entering partnership discussions with global recruitment and education provider Navitas. These discussions are focused on the potential creation of Western International College, which would host international students for their first-year courses and other preparation or prerequisite courses before they transition to Western for their studies. “A diverse campus, global partnerships and a strong, international alumni base are part of what makes a great university,” said Western Provost and VP Academic Florentine Strzelczyk. The university also recently celebrated the opening of its Mission Control Facility, which will be used for research activities such as tracking and communicating with satellites. Once licensed by the Government of Canada, the facility will operate independently of agencies like CSA and NASA.
