“…the Learning Passport Program allows students to have many benefits…networking opportunities, continual learning from past graduates of MSVU and from guest speakers. Fun and interesting experiences are gained, along with bonus points towards all of your classes!”– Josie Boutilier
“I honestly can’t say enough about how great this program is. There are so many fantastic activities offered on-campus and online throughout the year. I would highly recommend it to students in all years of study.” – Gracen Marchand
“Just want to thank you all for this program. I can’t say enough about it. The marks motivated me to attend those sessions but I think I will never stop attending seminars, and will look for learning opportunities outside of the classroom. It is such an amazing program.” – Fairouz Mothana
“The Learning Passport Program is a great incentive for students to get out, network and learn from the real world. All we need is that push. Once we’re there, we see there is definitely more to get from it than bonus points.”- Gisele Gomes
