Celebrating the Generosity of Scholarship Donors
President Ralph Weeks' column in the Medicine Hat News centred on this event. In part it said:
The words of our students likely have more impact than my own, so I’d like to share some quotes from the hundreds of letters recipients sent to award donors this year.
One student writes, “I am aware that the goals I have set are not easy, nor inexpensive, but thanks to the generosity of people like you, and some hard work and dedication on my part, I hope to one day achieve my goals.”
Another offers recognition that our donors offer resources based on their values. “I have a great belief in education, and knowing that other people who feel the same, and want to help, makes me even more grateful.”

People can bring in bags of empties and we will arrange for Redi Enterprises to pick up the bottles for return. All proceeds will be donated to the MHCSA Food Bank to buy grocery cards for students in need. We know there are many students that will be struggling during the upcoming holiday season.

MRU and MHC Sign Official Document for Business Administration Degree
Students at Medicine Hat College now have more choices when it comes to obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Medicine Hat.
Officials from Mount Royal University were on campus Monday to sign an official partnership agreement, giving students at MHC the option of earning a bachelor of business administration degree through their institution.
Students with a MHC business administration diploma with a major in accounting, management, marketing or financial services can carry on with studies for a third and fourth year to complete the MRU degree in Management. Classes will be taught based on the MRU curriculum but will use MHC resources and faculty.
Several students are already enrolled in the program this fall, and Schwartz expects the program to continue flourishing.
Students wishing to obtain a degree on the MHC campus now have a dozen choices, including several collaborative degrees with universities in the province.
NISOD Innovation Abstract: "The 75-Percent Rule"
In "Leapfrog: Integrating Revision and Research Into College Writing," Marc Schuster, Instructor in Arts & Humanities, at Montgomery County Community College (PA), describes a strategy to teach how to use sources in research papers and how to document them correctly. He discovered that students began to go far beyond the simple corrections for spelling and grammar, and began to make significant changes in their work overall.
