The Asian Institute is pleased to welcome all undergraduate students within the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto to join us on March 20, 2015 for the Contemporary Asian Studies Student Union’s inaugural WORK + ASIA Conference. Recognizing the increasing importance of Asia as a trade and diplomatic partner to Canada, and noting the number of alums who have moved to Asia after their studies, or are employed in Canada in sectors that interact with Asian counterparts, we aim to build on this and explore the many avenues of professional and academic relationships in and with Asian countries and why Asia is an important region to be invested.
We are pleased to announce our Keynote Speaker, David Mulroney. Mulroney is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs. He served as Ambassador of Canada to the People’s Republic of China from 2009 to 2012. Mulroney will offer remarks on his role and experience as a co-chair and drafter of the “Asia Competence” report published by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.
The conference will also include three panels:
Professionals + Asia
Career Guidance, Resumes, + Asia
Graduate Field Work in Asia
Registration is required. This event is for undergraduate students within the Faculty of Arts and Science at the University of Toronto; Tcards will be checked at the door.
