P.A. campus creates homegrown success
For many students, moving to complete their post-secondary education is something of a rite of passage. But for Carly Mattila, having the choice to stay home in Prince Albert for university is something that she does not take for granted.
By Chris MorinAfter living overseas for seven years, Mattila returned to her home province and raised a family in Saskatchewan. But once her children got older, she began to yearn for a career change. After talking to her friends who worked in health care, Mattila made the decision to return to school. Now a mature student in her fourth and final year in the College of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Prince Albert campus, Mattila is thankful for the academic opportunities close to home.
