International Education Director Miriam Wall and Confederation College

Confederation College: International education director Miriam Wall said students from foreign countries bring diversity and culture to the campus, and keep programs open that might otherwise have to close because of insufficient enrollment. , according to CBC. If that wasn't the case, those students either would be limited in their career choices or would have to move somewhere else to take those programs and not everybody can afford that." Confederation College says its population of international students has grown over the last few years from a couple dozen to 300. "They play a key role in making sure that ... Canadian students ... have the same choice that they had in the past, she said. International education director Miriam Wall says if Confederation College did not have international students taking some of the programs that otherwise would not have much enrolment "we would be challenged to continue to offer the full range of programs that we currently do."
