Your August news recap is here! 🎬

This month, we're celebrating the first cohort of students in our new Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program. ✨

We're growing too! A $251,000 grant from TD is supporting three years of new initiatives at the KPU Farm. This includes an Indigenous Medicine Garden guided by the Musqueam First Nation, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Garden, and the planting of hundreds of native plants to strengthen local biodiversity. 🌱

Here's the best part for students heading back to class this fall. KPU now offers over 1,000 zero-textbook-cost course sections every term. 17 entire programs can be completed without buying a textbook. 📚
