University and Career Newsletter #1 for school-year 2023-2024

Notice to students and parents of grades 9-12,

There is a virtual career fair on your Unifrog Career and College research account, this Thursday, September 21st, from 4:00-6:30 pm.  Please register and participate when you can.  If you want somewhere comfortable to sit with your colleagues at that time, and participate, please come to room S106 and bring headphones. Or you may participate when you arrive at home, and ask one of 49 University representatives in attendance questions about what it is like to study in that country or region.  Already grades 11 and 12 are registered and attending with an assignment to speak with at least three university representatives, and reflect on what they have learned.  Also, if you register, you may view more of the presentations at your own convenience.  Please see the agenda and attending universities below and on Unifrog—register now and don’t miss out on this opportunity.

Also, this Thursday lunch recess at 12:00-12:30 pm there is a guest attending to present from Harbour Education Group, Alexander Lebedev, who will speak on university applications and Harbour’s partnerships with scholars from top US Universities, such as Harvard and MIT, and the summer programs they offer students to meet with professors from such schools and learn new things that will enhance their application portfolio.  Students of grades 9-12 are asked to attend in order to give our guests a warm welcome.

This October 20th, in one month’s time, on a Friday morning, we will again host the live CISH Fall Career Fair.  Attendees will be announced at a later time and students of grades 9-12 will be attending during their scheduled class time for a tour of the booths, and parents too are welcome and encouraged to attend and get information from the university representatives in attendance.

Last Thursday’s visit from Queen’s University representative and Admissions Officer, Ms. Sunny Wang, was a success.  It was good to see some parents in attendance as well.  Sunny had valuable information to share, including outlining the support the university gives students on applying for their student visas, and even on applying for a work permit after graduation if that is desired.  Sunny also mentioned Queen’s Universities valuable partnerships with major corporations such as NASA, TESLA, Google, Facebook, the Canadian Department of Defense, and more.  If a student, your son or daughter is interested in attending a university in Canada, or you are interested in speaking with Sunny or another of Queens University’s representatives, please contact Neil Yeamans at  by email. 

Please review your Unifrog account at least once a week to see upcoming webinars, tools, and information that you may be interested in.  

Sincerely yours,

Neil Yeamans

University Counsellor
