To be credible partners overseas, universities must be credible partners for the well-being of the peoples of their own regions. Canadian universities have enjoyed long and productive histories of both regional and international cooperation. Many were nurtured through early relationships with longer standing European and US institutions. Especially since Canada became a serious aid donor in the early 1970s, Canadian universities, in their turn, began to share experiences and resources overseas. Initially this was with institutions in less prosperous nations; then, particularly since the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was also with partners in the transition economies of Eastern Europe. Most recently it has been with China and a resurgent India. Often a universitys regional and international linkages began with individual faculty or student commitments. Some then evolved into projects (frequently four or five year contractual arrangements), supported by aid agencies. A few such projects later expanded into more open-ended network arrangements bridging disciplines, sectors, institutions and sometimes even continents. The more complex some of these partnerships have become, the more challenging have been the ethical, academic, and financial implications for the Canadian institutions themselves, not to mention their counterparts. Long term, more visionary and more strategic approaches have become critical. More entrepreneurial administrative structures and much heightened sensitivities to human rights, cross-cultural, gender and inter-disciplinary issues have been essential. What, it must ruthlessly be asked, are the visions for post-secondary education for 2020 (not to mention 2050) that are empowering the more progressive of todays institutions? How are they helping shape present regional and international development partnerships?

Nice dress shirt
Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: Large, Color: Grey
This shirt is a super soft and an awesome style, which I really love. The material is a soft cotton and that doesn’t irritate my skin. It is breathable, but also keeps you relatively warm. It’s very nice looking on and would be okay for everyday wear. It has been used many times going out with jeans or shorts out. I wash and dry it regularly in a machine and still looks just as new as the out of box condition. There is no pilling, fabric change, or shrinking. The style is flattering, cut well, and runs true to size. Other shirts owned feel similar to this one, which meets expectations and is a nice shirt for the price. I do wish it had a pocket though. Ultimately would purchase again.

Sharp-looking business shirt at a great price
Special Size: Black Buttons, Size: X-Large, Color: Rhine Blue
This long sleeve dark blue shirt is a great choice for a business casual look. The "Rhine Blue" color really stands out — it’s very bold without being over the top, and it gives the shirt a sharp, polished appearance. The stitching is very well done, with clean lines and no loose threads, which adds to the overall quality. It fits nicely and maintains a crisp look throughout the day. The material is mostly polyester with some spandex, so it feels smooth, lightweight, and is actually breathable. It stays comfortable during long wear and doesn’t feel heavy or restrictive. Overall, it’s a sharp, well-made shirt that delivers both style and comfort at a great level. It was a good deal at the original price of about $20, but at the new price of about $15, it's an excellent deal. I may get another in a different color.

Very comfortable and looks great!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This shirt is surprisingly really nice for the price. Really nice even regardless of the price. It fits and looks great on my hubby. We liked it so much that I bought him another one in a different color. Will probably even buy more. The large ran a little small, so we got him an extra large and it was great.
