FACILITATOR: Erin Pease is our new Global Experience Coordinator. With more than 15 years of experience in the refugee protection sector, Erin has worked with Canada's federal immigration department, NGOs in Canada and abroad, as well as the UN Refugee Agency. Erin has lived, worked, studied and volunteered overseas, in countries like England, Japan, Egypt and Tanzania. Erin will be facilitating this workshop. She is keen to answer any questions you may have about how you can embrace your global citizenship in service to yourself and the global family of which we are all a part.
 
IMPORTANT: The Global Experience Team is keen to democratize access to global learning opportunities and international experiences for all students, irrespective of background, ability and/or need. We are motivated to support every student on campus to feel empowered to embrace his/her/their global citizenship and cultivate an identity that is globally informed, if so desired. Please keep in mind that global experiences can include experiential learning in Canada and abroad, as well as virtual opportunities that take place from the comfort of home. We encourage every student with interest to sign up. Please never forget - Going Global at McMaster is for everyone!
 
We can't wait to welcome you on November 9th, enjoy some coffee and cookies together, and have a stimulating evening discussing all things "Going Global" at McMaster!
