Speakers
and
Events
QIAA hosts a number of
speakers and events on campus each term. This year, we are
pleased to partner with the Queen's Centre for International
Relations in presenting a number of roundtable forums for
discussion of current international events - these forums
are an opportunity for students, professors, and community
members to interact and share ideas on pressing world
issues. Speakers over the previous two years
included, US Ambassador Paul Cellucci, UN Ambassador Allan
Rock, MSF President Leslie Shanks, UK High Commissioner
David Reddaway, CCIC President Gerry Barr, Canadian Chamber
of Commerce Senior Vice-President Bob Keyes, CIGI Associate
Director Andrew Cooper, and others. Further speakers
will be added to this year's list as the year progresses.
