Fall 2016

In the Fall 2016 semester, the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ community hosted our first recipients of the Emerging Leaders of the Americas Program (ELAP), a scholarship program provided by Global  Affairs Canada.

The two recipients, Sergio Garcia Bahena from the Universidad Politécnica del Estado de Morelos (UPEMOR) and Jael Reyes Hernandez and Universidad Pedadógica Nacional (UPN) in Mexico, were invited to participate in this program. The Sustainable Campuses Initiative, in collaboration with Dawson’s Office of International Development, designed a one semester program to support Global Environmental Leadership. The program consisted of a series of courses supporting global environmental knowledge and leadership, an internship research project and a program of community engagement in environmental leadership.

Participation in ELAP provided ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ, the UPEMOR and UPN with the opportunity to strengthen our existing and ongoing partnerships and collaboration for campus sustainability. Furthermore, the program allowed ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ to engage Mexican students who have exhibited a commitment to environmental action, who in turn were able to share their enthusiasm and knowledge with the community.
