As we continue to navigate the Alberta State of Public Health Emergency, the Emergency Response Committee (ERC) has been meeting regularly to discern a path forward that meets government standards and prioritizes the safety of this community.

Letter from Dr Matthew Morris

Dear science students,

The current covid pandemic, the varied responses to vaccines, and the social restrictions enacted by the provincial government have, to my mind, highlighted why a Christian liberal arts training in the sciences matters. The issues being discussed are partly scientific – do vaccines work? Do they cause side effects? What is the best way to protect oneself and others from covid? Who is most vulnerable? Are there dangerous chemicals contained in the vaccines? How should one interpret scientific data?

What does it mean for us to be a Christian university in the midst of a pandemic? In particular, what does this mean for us as we seek to live out our mission through the particulars of being located in the province of Alberta?
