Bowling for Breast
Cancer a Success!
Bowling for Breast Cancer was held on Friday, March 26th, 2004,
at the Bible Hill Bowlacade - 60 students and staff from NSAC raised
money and participated in eleven teams for the fun-filled event!
Top Score Female was a tie between Julie MacDonald (Trueman RA’s
Team) and Lynn Sibley (Registry/Recruitment Team) at 88 in a single
string. Top Score Male went to Brad McCallum (Pub #1 Team) at 94
in a single string. The top-scoring team was the Trueman House RA’s!
And low-score (for team) went to “Deez Nutz” Team!
The top-fundraising team was “Deez Nutz” - Consequently,
the top-fundraising individual was on that team: Jonnie Garron raised
over $400! Way to go Jon! A total of $1,152.80 was raised!
Congratulations and thank you to all who participated on behalf
of NSAC Students’ Union and the WBCO (World Breast Cancer
Organization)!

NSAC Ranks 22nd in
Canada in Research Intensity
According to a recent study by Research Infosource Inc.,
NSAC ranks 22nd of 93 Canadian universities in research intensity.
Research intensity is the amount of competitively-obtained research
funds earned per full-time faculty member. Universities with medical
schools typically dominate this group and when they are removed
from the calculation, NSAC ranks 10th of 77 Canadian universities.
