It’s been a long time since Waterloo Warriors have gone on exchange, but we remain hopeful that students will travel in the 2022-23 academic cycle. In celebration of International Education Week, this exhibit showcases 16 of the best photos that were submitted to our Exchange Photo Contests prior to the pandemic. The gallery is visible all week in Campus Housing.

Students are looking at a future that will present problems that require global solutions that come from intercultural teams. Educational institutions across Canada are aspiring to graduate students who are equipped to navigate a rapidly-evolving global landscape that positions them well towards identifying and solving these global problems. Students from international backgrounds enrich our campuses with their diverse cultures, ideas, values and traditions. As part of the international education community, we interact with organizations globally.

The crisis exacerbated long-standing inequalities, revealed the limits of technology, raised questions about learning loss and recovery, heightened concerns about corporatization, exposed the value of teaching, and much more.
