Meet Lyndsay: the last introduction of our panellists. Don't forget our first webinar for educators is this Thursday! find below the link to register... Growing up in Peace River, AB, I attended the small liberal arts campus, Augustana, of the University of Alberta. After learning about UWC as a student there from many of my incredible profs, and then working as a student recruitment coordinator with the University of Alberta, many years of engaging with UWC College Counsellors and visiting UWC campuses globally, I finally threw my hat in the ring for a position when UWC ISAK Japan opened. After a decade of working and studying in higher education student recruitment and admissions, I picked up my life, and moved abroad in 2017, taking on the role of Director of Admissions, and then later, Co-Director of University Advising for the UWC movements 17th college. After 3 years abroad, absolutely living and working in my dream job on a remote live volcano, working tirelessly alongside the absolutely INCREDIBLE STUDENTS, and also supporting many of UWCs Short Courses and participating in a variety of UWC conferences and selection activities around the globe, I have now moved back to Canada and returned to PSE as the Associate Director, Student Recruitment for Simon Fraser University, Canada's #1 comprehensive university! I am eager to volunteer and support future Canadians in attending UWCs, as UWC now has 18 schools around the world that are offering incredible opportunities to our future generations, and I can't wait to help uncover "educations best-kept secret!"

Meet Alastair: I was born in Vancouver, but when I was 11 years old my family moved to SE Asia. We spent 15 years overseas, starting in Singapore, then Tokyo, and then Hong Kong. I attended the United World College of South East Asia, and then studied Computer Science and Mathematics at Queens University in Ontario. Later I went back to UBC to get my BEd. I have had several career paths over the years, starting as a Mountain Guide and mountaineering instructor, then as a Software Developer, and then as a teacher. I taught at an Inuit school in Baffin Island in Canada's high arctic, then I was a teacher and administrator at a school in Istanbul, Turkey, and finally I was a teacher and administrator at Red Cross United World College in Norway. Most recently I was on the management team at a company here in Vancouver that builds software solutions for environmental data management. I have two children (both born while we were in Istanbul). My wife and I live in North Vancouver.
