Vancouver Island University (VIU)

Canada | October 8, 2009

On October 8, I gave three presentations at the Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, B.C.:

  1. A more general talk to university students on my career path, finding mentors and a Q&A organized for international students at VIU (CVI Multicultural Society).
  2. A presentation to students in the Media Studies program on diversity in the media, drawing from my work at CBC on the "Diversity Advantage."
  3. A presentation to students in the Web Publishing program.

The following day, I gave a presentation on the "Diversity Business Case" to the MBA program at VIU. In two days I covered a lot of ground: a media career, dealing with racism in youth, diversity in media, producing web media and the diversity business case.

Special thanks to Imogene Lim for coordinating my visit.
