NWP's 1st Birthday Celebration
In 2023 we celebrated our first birthday as Alberta’s newest polytechnic institution. On March 9, students, staff, faculty and members of our learning community gathered on our Fairview and Grande Prairie campuses to enjoy energetic conversation, delicious food and share pride for the highlights of our past year of success.
In our first 365 days as Northwestern Polytechnic, together we have:
- Launched our very first degrees,
- Brought back in-demand programming, with the help of industry and community partners,
- Made ourselves at home at the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital,
- Announced the Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence,
- Added an additional 72 seats to our School of Health and Education, and an additional 80 apprenticeship seats to our School of Skilled Trades, and much more.
In the days, weeks, months and years to come, we have many more ambitious plans to strengthen the Peace Region with distinctive entrepreneurial pathways, leading edge facilities and responsive programming. But these plans mean nothing without our learning community. Thank you for your ongoing support, valuable contributions, and contagious energy every step along the way.
Here’s to many more years of progress.
