Interm President Survey
As you are aware, NSAC is undergoing change. NSAC is moving from a branch of government to a more independent institution. A process is underway to select an interim president to lead NSAC during the initial period when NSAC will stabilize, focus and grow as an independent institution. This will be a short term appointment with the recruitment of a full-term president to take place some time over the next two years.
A survey has been designed to provide an opportunity for NSAC stakeholders to offer suggestions related to the selection of the interim president. The survey results will be used as input to decisions made by the NSAC Transitional Board. The survey is anonymous.
Click here to complete the survey. The survey will close on February 18th.
Thanks in advance for your contribution. |

NSAC Rings
NSAC Ring Days were held on Jan. 25 and 26. During these days students from the Class of '11 were encouraged to purchase their rings so they would be ready in time for graduation this spring.
If you are looking to purchase a ring (for yourself, or as a gift for a soon-to-be graduate) orders that will be completed by late March, can still be made until Feb. 18. Visit http://nsac.ca/alumni/gradring.asp for more information.
