Hey everyone!

We’ve got some amazing news to share—thanks to YOUR support, we’re being heard!

On May 17, we officially sent this petition to the Associate Dean of Graduate Programs at UCalgary. Shortly after, we had a chance to meet with them directly and discuss everything we’ve raised here.

And guess what? The response has been incredibly positive! The faculty listened, asked questions, and are now gathering feedback from across the department. Even more exciting—there’s already talk of launching a pilot thesis stream in 2026! 🎓✍️

This is a huge step forward, but we’re not there yet. To keep up the momentum, we need your help to keep the pressure on! 💥

✅ Please keep sharing the petition far and wide
✅ Ask your classmates, friends, and networks to sign
✅ Let’s show the faculty how strong the demand really is!

This movement is growing, and together, we’re making real change happen. Let’s keep pushing! 💪
