In the past decade, our students have successfully competed for tenure-track positions at the University of Toronto, University of Victoria, the University of Regina, the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, Algoma University, Ambrose University College, Mount Saint Vincent University, and Wilfred Laurier University.
