If you are interested and feel that you have the relevant experience and skills, please submit a c.v./resume, with contact information and the names of two references to Dr. Annette Henry by Friday August 16 at the following email: ayabingah@yahoo.com.
Here is a brief description of the project:
“explore, identify and compare strategies that widen access and participation by vulnerable and underrepresented student groups in five gateway cities—two in Canada (Toronto, Vancouver), two in the United States (Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago) and one in England ( London). Vulnerable and underrepresented student groups will include those with special needs, underrepresented racial, ethnic, immigrant and lower socioeconomic status groups. The gateway cities selected provide meaningful national and international comparisons of equity issues related to select vulnerable and underrepresented student groups. They also afford us with the opportunity to examine these students’ access to and participation in Post Secondary Education as well as comparisons of equity issues related to select vulnerable and underrepresented student groups.

Annette
