This blog follows students in their first year at a Canadian university.

MORGAN BIMM

I’m a graduate of Innisdale Secondary School in Barrie, Ont., a coffee addict, and a writer who likes finding adventures. I’m attending Carleton University for a Combined Honours degree in Journalism and Global Politics, attempting to grow up a little, and trying to figure out how to change this crazy world for the better.

JOSH McGEE

Born and raised in small-town Newcastle, Ont., I attended Clarke High School surrounded by corn fields, and am finally spreading my wings at age 18 as a new Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawk. I’m working toward my Honours Bachelor of Arts in History, while also studying German and Italian.

ANNE MCILROY

As The Globe and Mail's science reporter, I often interview graduate students, the up-and-coming researchers in university labs across the country. I'm often struck by their passion for their work, and started this blog as a way to spotlight their contributions. I'm a Carleton grad.

JOEY COLEMAN

I am a Hamilton, Ont., student working toward an undergraduate degree in political science through a mix of online and classroom courses at the University of Manitoba and McMaster. My two main obsessions are post-secondary education issues, about which I’ve been blogging for 3 years, and pinball (yes, I’m a member of the Toronto Ontario Pinball League). In this space, I will be following news and trends from across the nation's campuses.

THE DOBSON-MITCHELL FAMILY

First there was A Parent's View and then the kids wanted their say.

Kathy Dobson is a freelance journalist based in Kitchener, Ont., with a BA from the University of Waterloo, and a mother of five: Jenny, 19; Scott, 17; David, 13; Michael, 11; and Sam, 4.

Jenny Mitchell is a second-year Honours Biomedical Sciences student at the University of Waterloo.

Follow along as they discuss their sometimes conflicting points of view on education matters.

ALEX USHER

Alex Usher, President, Higher Education Strategy Associates, is a graduate of McGill and Carleton universities. He has been studying higher education issues for 15 years with the federal government, the Educational Policy Institute and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, among others. Here he will dish up his sometimes contrarian insights on national and global trends in higher education, and how Canadian governments, universities and colleges are trying to keep up with them.

Student journalists report on the news through their eyes from campuses across the country.

This weekly roundup of student news across the country is compiled by Canadian University Press: North America's only student press co-operative. CUP is a bilingual organization, owned and operated by almost 90 student newspapers across the country.

GOLDIS CHAMI

I hail from Vancouver, B.C., and, after obtaining dual degrees in Cell Biology & Genetics and in Psychology at the University of British Columbia, countless volunteer stints, and a year doing research, I'm finally on my way to completing my Doctor of Medicine at UBC. Follow my journey through medical school as I discuss the ups and downs of being a trainee, the complexities and controversies of the medical field, and current events.

Here you will find a mishmash of things that we find online - fun, interesting and unique things done by students and teachers. You made/did something cool? Contact us and we'll review.

This blog follows two Canadian students in their challenging and exciting work in the developing world under the global internships programs of AIESEC Canada. They will be filing regular dispatches as they adjust to their new surroundings and share their thoughts on how to make a difference in the lives of some of the world's poorest people.

SASHA SEARS

Sasha Sears is doing a one-year internship in Brazil with Vale, a mining and energy company, as a human resources analyst. Among other things, she is managing the company’s international exchange education programs and is living in one of the most violent cities in the world: Rio de Janeiro. She has a global business management degree from Saint Mary's University in Halifax.

ANTHONY LOTT

Anthony Lott is in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, working as an English teacher for the summer through Procavida, a non-profit organization seeking to improve the quality of life in Bolivia through health, education, technology, and social advances. He is teaching English to low-income students, and later will teach school teachers. With a physiology degree from the University of Alberta, he will be going to medical school there in the fall.
