"Hey! Luke Ignace here and I'm excited to share the vision that I have for a united Caribbean and Atlantic Canada with you! In a world that is so bitter and divisive, it's so good to see ideas that bring people together. Let's bring the warmth back to winter! Let's send a gift to the Bahamas.

The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) and 3M Canada are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2021 3M National Student Fellowship Award.
The 3M National Student Fellowship honours up to ten full-time diploma and undergraduate students at Canadian post-secondary institutions who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their lives and at their post-secondary institution. These students embrace a vision of education that enhances their academic experience and beyond.
This award is the first in Canada to build community among visionary student leaders who demonstrate outstanding leadership and innovation through seeing current needs in higher education or society and implementing change.

For the full abstract, see the UPEI calendar entry.
The meeting will be on Zoom at:
