University for Ukraine (U4U) presents a conversation with journalist Christian Borys, hosted by professors Alexander Lanoszka (Political Science) and Serhiy Yarusevych (Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering) as part of the U4U campaign to raise funds for victims of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The Faculty of Arts and the Balsillie School of International Affairs co-present this conversation with George Elliott Clarke (BA '84 English at UWaterloo) and Dr. Wendell Adjetey (McGill University) exploring the complexities of identity and the question, “Who do you think you are, and who gets to decide?”.

As students we constantly ask ourselves; how can we do our part to make positive changes for the world at large? Must we sacrifice having a fulfilling career to satisfy our pocketbook? The good news is it doesn’t have to be this way. Join us and meet Arts Alumni that have found success in the corporate world while making changes to pressing social challenges.
