Red River College proudly announced today a renewal of its strategic
alliance with MTS Allstream, a five-year relationship worth
approximately $1 million dollars.  The renewal was announced during the
unveiling of the new MTS Allstream Lecture Hall at the College’s Notre
Dame Campus. MTS Allstream has supported Red River College’s innovative
applied learning initiatives and programs since 2003.

“From developing new wireless technologies, to producing television
broadcasts, MTS Allstream has certainly been a valuable partner of Red
River College and a strong supporter of our students and graduates,”
said Dr. Jeff Zabudsky, President of Red River College. “We’re happy to
build on that partnership, and we anticipate developing many exciting
new technological innovations together.”

“We are proud of the strong relationship we’ve built with Red River
College,” said Dean Prevost, President Enterprise Solutions, MTS
Allstream. “The relationship is about more than funding, it’s about
providing the best opportunities for students to pursue their dreams in
innovation and technology. We look forward to continuing our
relationship with Red River College and, more specifically, supporting
the College’s applied research and development programs.”

Since January 2003, MTS Allstream has supported Red River College by
providing communications equipment and services, hired summer students
and graduates, awarded student scholarships, participated in career
fairs, and sponsored the Red River College Students’ Association and
the Red River Racer. MTS Allstream has also given hands-on training
