Dear Friends,
In February the Center co-sponsored three programs that provided over 50 UW undergraduates with the opportunity to travel to Canada. Fourteen international studies majors spent over a week in Ottawa as part of the Task Force on Arctic Governance that I co-taught with Professor Vincent Gallucci, Aquatic and Fishery Sciences; over 20 students from Social Work participated in a weekend field course to Vancouver with Professors Stan de Mello and Morna McEachern; and another 20 Foster School of Business students participated in the Pacific Northwest Economic Conference that the Center co-sponsored with UBC's Sauder School of Business. "As I spent a week in Ottawa," noted one Task Force participant, "I strengthened my understanding of Canada and its governance in the Arctic region." I hope you enjoy our students' stories in this month's report. – Nadine
