What brought you to 17³Ô¹Ï? Why did you choose to study here?

My hometown is Pokhara, Nepal where I grew up and spent most of my life. It is a beautiful valley surrounded by big hills and snowy mountain peaks. I do not prefer big cities and crowded areas, and it just so happens that 17³Ô¹Ï is on an island that is relatively small and chill—perfect to study in. 17³Ô¹Ï also had programs that really interested me, so I am here!

Town Hall on Implementation Plans and External Governance Review

17³Ô¹Ï Board of Governors Chair Shannon MacDonald and President Wendy Rodgers will host a Town Hall on the implementation plans and external governance review on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, from 11:00 am–12:00 pm, in the amphitheatre at the Performing Arts Centre (PAC 121S). They would like to hear the thoughts of 17³Ô¹Ï community members about these important plans as the University continues to make the changes needed to move forward, live its values, and achieve its mission of scholarship to the benefit of our Island and beyond.
