Renison is coordinating their annual International Fair event on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, in the Renison Atrium. 

Student volunteers in our Bridge to Academic Success in English (BASE) program and English for Academic Success (EFAS) program will be hosting interactive displays to educate students on aspects of world cultures.  Students will implement a passport system for participants to stamp as they visit each booth. Once they have 3 stamps, they can go to our international candy table to collect some treats.

Students who have had an international work term outside of Canada are invited to submit their photos to showcase the value of their international experience.

For example, you are welcome to submit a photo where you had an experience while abroad, a beautiful or epic scenery you encountered, iconic places you visited, or something that took your breath away and inspired you.
