Institutional Members
The RSC officially launched the Institutional Member (IM) Programme in 2004. The goal was to provide a mechanism by which, on the one hand, the Society could develop its programmes in conjunction with Canadian universities, and on the other hand, universities could have formal and direct input into the strategic organization and governance of the Society. This closer relationship facilitates the nomination of new Fellows from all Canadian universities, and provides a home for the Society to sponsor scholarly activities at institutions of all sizes across Canada. Today 46 universities and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) are Institutional Members of the Society.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“I have more in common with a Mexican man than with a white woman.... This opinion ... chagrins women who sincerely believe our female physiology unequivocally binds all women throughout the world, despite the compounded social prejudices that daily affect us all in different ways. Although women everywhere experience life differently from men everywhere, white women are members of a race that has proclaimed itself globally superior for hundreds of years.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
