As a first-generation immigrant living in Toronto from the mid-1970s to 2002, I had never heard of Lakehead University. In fact, I first heard of Lakehead University when I applied for the position of director of communications in November 2002. Once hired, I was excited when my proposal to launch a...

Promotion et notoriété sont devenues une nécessité pour les universités d’aujourd’hui

BY ELEANOR S. ABAYA | August 05 2008

Immigrante de première génération, j’ai vécu à Toronto du milieu des années 1970 jusqu’en 2002. Pendant cette période, je n’avais jamais entendu parler de l’Université Lakehead. En fait, je n’ai appris l’existence de cet établissement qu’au moment de postuler au poste de di...

Les étudiants immigrants qui ont des enfants constituent un groupe à part

BY FERZANA CHAZE | January 23 2013

Ils ont encore plus de défis à relever que les étudiants adultes et les étudiants étrangers.

L’immigration est un rite de passage éprouvant qui, pour de plus en plus de nouveaux arrivants, se poursuit bien après l’arrivée au Canada. La majorité des nouveaux arrivants au Canada relèvent de la catégorie de l’immigration économique, où des points sont accordés pour le niveau ...

The lost generation of university graduates

BY THOMAS KLASSEN | April 02 2014
