To contribute to the University of Saskatchewan International Blueprint for Action and the international relationship development envisioned by the International Education and Jurisdictional Initiatives Branch, Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education, the International Office, Student Recruitment and International Student and Study Abroad teams have been working together to organize a series of “Country Conversations”. 

“Country Conversations” is an exciting series of global dialogue which aims to unite our campus community and encourage global learning from our faculty who have in-depth experience working with select countries and communities. We envision that this series will not only help administrative units to share knowledge obtained from foreign governments and partner universities but also lead to academic units’ engaging in international endeavors, including research, and stakeholder development, trust and confidence building with faculty, researchers, and staff. Through the cultivation of trust and confidence between our faculty, staff and researchers peer-to-peer mentorship opportunities can be fully leveraged to enable the USask to be a global university—a University the world needs.
