BRYCE WARNES

I meant to take one year off after graduating from Frances Kelsey Secondary School in Mill Bay, B.C., and it turned into three. After a spate of minimum wage jobs, I finally decided to go to the University of British Columbia, where I'm studying for a degree in Religion, Literature and the Arts.

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 2 1/2 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.

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.

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.
