Industry Connections

Dialogue with industry leaders and our namesake donor helped us develop the blueprint for the Schroeder Institute.

It is a dynamic response to their needs, now and tomorrow, a deeply collaborative enterprise and a success story that we want all industry partners to be a part of. 

Connect with us to learn more about our programs, our applied research opportunities and, most importantly, our students – your future employees. 

And allow us to introduce the first-ever Advisory Committee for the Schroeder Institute – a who’s-who of Manitoba (and Canada’s) creative arts scene.
