Alumni Chronicles - First Speaker March

As a Centennial project, NSAC has developed a
series of afternoon social/seminars in an effort to showcase the
accomplishments of our alumni. Each session will be given by a graduate
who has made a significant contribution since graduation. This contribution
may be scientific, entrepreneurial, social or in any other way which
enhances our society. Our first presentation

Distant Alumni Contacts
There are opportunities for NSAC alumni to volunteer with Chapters
or Branches even in geographic areas without formal branches. Chapters
or branches typically occur where there is a concentration of alumni
living or working in a specific area. The Alumni office is currently
working to build a system of Distant Alumni Contacts (DACs) throughout
Canada. These contacts would provide support to the NSAC in a variety
of capacities in their area. DACs can assist in planning and hosting
events in their area when University staff will be in the area or
for more regular, informal gatherings with alumni in the area. More

WUSC sponsored student.......
The WUSC Student Refugee Program began in 1977. WUSC or World University
Service of Canada, coordinates a program that privately sponsors
refugee students to come to Canada to pursue secondary education.
In doing so, WUSC has been working towards achieving its objective
of "promoting human development and global understanding through
education and training". By assisting people whose education
has been interrupted by war and/or persecution, WUSC's Student Refugee
Program also contributes to greater understanding among students
and faculty and staff on Canadian campuses to the situation of refugees
throughout the world. Here is his
