The University of Alberta held its annual event ‘Go Abroad Fare’ on September 24 at the Student Union building. This event is organized by the International Office of the university. The CIE was invited to participate in this event.
The purpose of the event is to provide information about the opportunities to study in other countries. The CIE sent two visiting teachers who provided information about scholarships that are available through the Confucius Institute in Edmonton for students wishing to study Chinese language and culture or degree program in China.
Many different organizations were in attendance with many students expressing interest in foreign study, with an increasing number considering study in China.
This is the second year that the CIE participated.
