From last year to this year, students ranked Redeemer higher in the vast majority of criteria and our scores stayed the same in the remainder. “We promised last year that we would work to better each student’s experience,” notes Richard Wikkerink, Registrar and Senior Director of Student Development at Redeemer.. “And we make that same promise again this year; we will continue to seek out and be attentive to our students’ needs.”
This was Redeemer’s second year participating in the survey; it is in the category of universities defined as having enrolments less than 4,000.
