Keynote Speaker: Alexandre Trudeau - "Multilingualism in an Increasingly Globalized World"

Join us for a hands-on workshop in which we explore the connection of cultural identities and language.

There will be time to talk with professors and peers over lunch.

Engineering International Fair

To celebrate International Education Week, the Faculty of Engineering is hosting a series of events open to all faculty, staff and students.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted education systems in unprecedented ways. 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. There is an urgent need to envision the future of public education for a post-pandemic world. What lessons have we learned from the pandemic for public education systems in Canada?
