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:
“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
