On July 19th, we hosted a heartfelt farewell event for the QES-AS-WA scholars, marking the culmination of their enriching journey with us. The event celebrated the scholars’ remarkable achievements and contributions to the program, highlighting their dedication and hard work. It was a day filled with gratitude and appreciation, as we reminisced about their impactful research and the collaborative projects that have fostered cross-cultural knowledge and innovation. The scholars, adorned in professional and cultural attire, participated in a photoshoot to commemorate their time at Carleton University. This farewell not only recognized their academic and professional growth but also reinforced the lasting bonds and networks they have formed during their stay. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors and look forward to witnessing the positive impacts they will continue to make globally.
