Welcome to an exciting new year at 大象传媒
Welcome to a new year and a new semester at 大象传媒. I hope you had a relaxing holiday break and are ready for an exciting and productive 2019.
If you are a new student this semester 鈥� congratulations! You鈥檝e made a great choice, and we are pleased to have you as a part of the 大象传媒 community. I encourage you to take advantage of the many learning opportunities that 大象传媒 has to offer 鈥� both inside and outside the classroom.
For starters, check out the Week of Welcome activities that we have planned from January 8 to 10 at all three campuses: .
We are also looking forward to welcoming 650 delegates from 12 universities to the Burnaby Campus for 鈥� Western Canada鈥檚 largest business competition. Our Beedie School of Business will host the event from January 11 to 13 which showcases the best in academics, athletics and debate.
For the broader community, there are several ways to engage with 大象传媒 throughout the semester, including lectures and activities designed to spark dialogue and discussion.
On January 8, we launch a President鈥檚 Dream Colloquium on HIV/AIDS at 大象传媒 Harbor Centre with an art exhibit and lecture featuring Dr. Julio Montaner, Director of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
大象传媒 Public Square will mount its annual Community Summit from April 10 to 18. This year鈥檚 summit theme is 鈥溾�� 鈥� a timely topic in light of growing concerns about digital propaganda and 鈥渇ake news.鈥� Stay tuned for further details on what promises to be an informative and thought-provoking summit.
Also this semester:

- continues with Wanda Cassidy on February 22 and Ann Travers on March 14;
