These Shopify internships will see students split their time between the Carleton campus and Shopify’s downtown headquarters throughout their four-year Bachelor of Computer Science program. They’ll learn both in the classroom and by doing hands-on work, with Shopify paying a salary and covering their tuition as well.

Carleton’s popular annual Biology Butterfly Show will open on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016 and run until Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016. The exhibit will be open each day between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. (On the weekend, lines close at 3 p.m. due to volume). The show is in the Nesbitt Biology Building on University Drive.

Learning by doing drives the classroom message home. And earning while learning? Hard to beat. Carleton University and Shopify, the leading cloud-based, multichannel commerce platform designed for small- and medium-sized businesses, are introducing a new model of learning that embeds students in an industrial environment. This fall, 11 Carleton students are splitting their time between the university’s campus and Shopify’s downtown Ottawa headquarters. Students will learn some course concepts at Shopify by joining teams and contributing to projects, with the freedom to take as much or as little time as needed for deep understanding of concepts, in addition to taking theoretical courses and electives at Carleton.

The University's Board of Governors held its first meeting of the academic year on September 27, 2016. In future, all faculty and staff will receive a meeting summary after each Board meeting. In addition, Board Chair Dr. Chris Carruthers welcomed Board members and confirmed that open Board meetings will continue to be live streamed and that all documents relative to the meeting are posted on the Board Secretariat web page at: http://carleton.ca/secretariat/boardofgovernors/agendas-and-minutes/201…
