Greetings from Vancouver - Where Education Is Global

Hi from Vancouver, on the campus of the University of British Columbia. We're here, stumping for the U Sphere cause, talking to the college admissions community from throughout the world. Some notes:

  1. UBC is gorgeous, and there's a ton being done to make it even more gorgeous. Worthy of the title "Canadian Ivy."
  2. It's becoming a global village. UBC's President, Dr. Stephen Toope, spoke today about becoming global without cramming globalism down everyone's throats. Great talk, pretty brilliant guy.
  3. Keep in mind this fact - the right school is out there for everyone. For instance, there are schools that you may have never heard of that are here to make sure they get the right students from countries you have never been to.
More to come from here over the next few days.
