Over 120 Carleton staff members attended the semi-annual Provost’s Café in May and November. The café is a forum for all professional services staff in the academic sector. It was created to increase information sharing and discussion about academic matters. This year’s events focused on experiential learning and community engagement.
The Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) continued to provide support for campus initiatives, including Scholars at Risk, Carleton Golden Key, SHAD Carleton, Spring Conference, Carleton University Retirees Association and Carleton University’s Annual United Way Campaign.
In September 2018, Carleton held a welcome event to honour Prof. Mustafa Bahran, who joined Prof. Rahim Surkhi as part of the Scholars at Risk program organized in partnership with the Institute of International Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF).
Carleton University has renewed its affiliation agreement with Dominican University College involving non-ecclesiastical programs and academic degrees. The agreement was signed by Carleton President Benoit-Antoine Bacon and Dominican President Maxime Allard in December 2018 at Dominican University College, renewing the original 2012 agreement.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in March 2018 to facilitate and promote co-operation between Carleton and Statistics Canada, with a view to supporting and strengthening collaboration with respect to recruitment, placement opportunities and programs.
