- UWCAD took over our IG page a few months ago... that just wasn't enough! Starting tomorrow one of the Canadian 2nd years will be showing you campus and little bits of Duino too! My name is Carolyn. I'm originally from Edmonton, Canada, and I go to Adriatic in Italy! I'll be graduating this year. One fun fact about me is that I'm a snack fanatic, and can sometimes be seen eating Nutella by the spoonful. I'm excited to show y'all around campus and the various cats of Duino!1 month ago

- How has your week been so far? Whether is was excellent or just mediocre, it is guraenteed to be better starting tomorrow because... UWC Pearson is taking over our account for 48hrs!! We will have JiYu and Josh working to show you what it's like at school in beautiful British Columbia. For now, we'll introduce you to one of your takeover-ees! Hey hey! My name is JiYu Park, and I am from New Brunswick, Canada (originally from South Korea). I am currently attending Pearson College UWC of the Pacific and will be graduating in May 2022. I am super keen to share this amazing place I get to call "home" for another 1.2 years and my experience here with others! Also, a fun fact about myself is I LOVE mangoes and ice cream! See you all very soon!! :)1 month ago

- The global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the way we learn and how we teach learning at every level of every UWC campus. An article recently published by the Albuquerque Journal highlights some of the student expereinces at UWC USA over the course of this journey and what it has meant for them. UWC President, Victoria Mora commented: "(The students) really pride themselves on thinking about education as a force for good in the world. What better laboratory for exploring what that might mean than during a global pandemic?" It's worth a read!
