Robertson Library and the International Student Office (ISO) invite you to join us for a presentation by celebrated speaker Dr. Tim Goddard in honour of International Education Week 2018, November 12th-16th. Dr. Goddard's talk is entitled Of Golden Eggs and Other Fables: Internationalization in a Time of Globalization. University students have always sought new opportunities to learn. There were an estimated 3.5 million international students in 2009, a number which had grown to 5 million in 2014 and is projected to reach 8 million in 2025 (British Council, 2018). Currently the most popular destination countries are the US, UK, and Canada. In this talk, Dr. J. Tim Goddard, M.S.M., professor of education, describes how some small Canadian universities, such as UPEI, are benefitting from this trend – but also notes that there are contrary political, economic, demographic, socio-cultural, and pedagogical indicators which must not be ignored. An educator for over 40 years, Goddard teaches and conducts research in the field of educational administration and leadership, with a focus on international development and education in fragile communities. He has extensive experience in the design and implementation of national and system-level educational policy in various post-conflict and post-colonial settings, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Papua New Guinea, and indigenous communities across northern Canada. The event will be held at 12:30 pm in the LINC, Room 265, in Robertson Libary. Everyone is welcome!

UPEI will be hosting its annual Relay for Life event on Friday, January 25, from 6:00 pm to midnight in the UPEI Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre. Relay For Life is a community based fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society. It’s a fun and active event with music, games, sports, and other activities to keep fellow students engaged and active throughout the event. But most importantly, students form relay teams to fundraise and take turns walking or running around the track, passing the baton to teammates to achieve personal or team goals and connect with others in this emotionally inspiring event. Every dollar UPEI raises through Relay For Life helps the Canadian Cancer Society have more impact against more cancers than any other cancer charity in Canada. Check out the Facebook page for more details about how to register, volunteer, or make a donation. 

This event is the opportunity for the Faculty of Science to celebrate UPEI student-award recipients and the donors for their generosity.  

  *This event will be rescheduled in January 2019.  The Office of the President cordially invites you to attend the MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing Celebration. Please join members of the MacLauchlan family, guest speaker Dr. Laurie Brinklow, and the UPEI community on Friday, November 30, 2018 at 1:30 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall to celebrate the writing achievements of UPEI students and faculty and staff.
