Are you interested in going beyond Canada to study and simultaneously apply the skills you learn in a real work environment? If you are, then perhaps the Students Without Borders™ programme within WUSC is what you need to get started. By participating in the SWB you will gain valuable skills by working with people in communities and change the world through education!
On Monday, 5th October, 2009, Trent University will be hosting their Study/Work Abroad Fair in the Great Hall of Champlain College (West Bank) from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Many departments, clubs and groups that offer Study/Work Abroad opportunities for students will be present. Members from WUSC at Trent University will definitely be there! So if you are interested in finding out more about Students Without Borders™, drop by and get some useful information. While you are there, ask about the upcoming International Seminar to be held in Nepal in 2010 and how you can get involved.
