St. John’s - always nice to be visiting @MemorialU @harriscentre and engage in their Public Engagement symposium. This evening, @SSHRC_CRSH President Dr Ted Hewitt is speaking on What do Universities Owe the Public. A richly insightful talk. #KMb

The House of Commons recognized the recipients of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council’s Impact Awards for their exceptional contributions to the social sciences and humanities. I was pleased to welcome them to my office and commend their groundbreaking work.

On behalf of the @federation_hss, I was proud to join @SSHRC_CRSH and @NEHgov for this event. Such cross-border collaboration between Canada and the US is vital!
Today we signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Endowment for the Humanities to advance research and research training in the humanities between Canada and the US. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind. You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.” The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.
