International Development

This month, United College was represented over 8,000 km across the North Atlantic Ocean. Our principal Rick Myers and Chancellor the Rt. Honorable Michaelle Jean travelled to the African Development University (ADU) institution located in Niamey, the capital of Niger. Here, United College signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the African Development University (ADU) to explore mutually beneficial academic collaboration.

United College would like to send a warm welcome to Rebecca Wagner who has joined us as the new Director of External Relations. 

Coming into university, many students don’t feel as though they have a full understanding of their mental health and how to ensure they are taking care of it. Mental wellbeing is how well a person can cope with the stresses, changes, and happenings of day-to-day life.  

Just over a year ago, St. Paul’s proudly welcomed our third Chancellor, Mme Michaëlle Jean. Chancellor is a ceremonial position of the Board of Governors of St.

It didn’t take long for our newest chancellor to show her unique value to our St. Paul’s community. During a recent visit to Dakar, Senegal, the Right Honorable Michaëlle Jean, 27th Governor General of Canada, took the time to award former student Seyni Mbaye (BES ’17) with a Young Alumni Award.

Recent alumna of the GreenHouse social impact incubator at St. Paul’s University College, Beth Eden (BES'20) has been recognized by Corporate Knights magazine as one of 30 young leaders under 30 making a difference in sustainability issues in Canada.

Cherie Wai (BES ’19) was recently recognized with World Vision Canada’s Ruth Roberts Award. This award is part of World Vision’s Hero’s for Children Awards, which celebrate individuals who have a heart for children and have demonstrated effort to make the world a better place, ‘especially’ for children.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of John Abraham as Continuing Lecturer and Manager of International Work Experience for the INDEV and MDP programs. John joined the College community in early August and will be taking over from Grainne Ryder who is taking early retirement after serving St. Paul’s and the INDEV program for more than ten years.
