The U of R’s popular EYES program (Educating Young in Engineering and Science) is getting a big boost. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada has renewed its support of EYES with $120,000 over three years. The funding, announced May 6, comes from the Council’s Promo Science Program, which supports science outreach for youth in communities across Canada. “We’re thrilled to receive this level of incredible support,” says Jordan Nixdorf, coordinator of the EYES program. Nixdorf graduated with a degree in Science from the U of R in 2015.
