The Vice-President in charge of U-N-B Saint John, Dr. Robert MacKinnon warns it would be a mistake not to view higher education as a significant engine for future economic growth in the region.
Dr. MacKinnon points to the research being done at the university’s Canadian Rivers Institute and in health care with Dalhousie University. He maintains that research is just at the beginning foundational level with much more to come.
Dr. MacKinnon says that’s one reason why there has been so much focus placed on enhancing the Tucker Park campus by the Regional Hospital.
