Who Was Simon Fraser, Anyway?
More from British Columbia...
Yesterday's session here with the Overseas Association for College Admission Counseling was at Simon Fraser University. Great place with a post-modern/60s architecture that was used as the backdrop for the FBI on the TV Show "The X Files."
Simon Fraser himself was an explorer who emigrated from Scotland to America and ended up in Canada. There's a wonderful Scottish connection to the whole place...the University has a number of Study Abroad program options with Universities in Scotland.
BTW, want more info on Scotland's push to get more students from everywhere -- all continents, especially Africa and Asia, but they're not ignoring North America -- you can see about a unique post-study work programme here: Scotland Is The Place.
And, as they say just about everywhere here, and there, "cheers."

Simon Fraser, I believe, was the son of Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, who was beheaded by the English for his support of Bonny Prince Charley in the 1700's in his failed attempt to free the Scots from English rule.
