The 2015 theme of this year’s IDW week is “We Make a Difference.” Join the campus community in learning about how UPEI students, staff, and faculty make a difference through their work and studies, and how you can make a difference abroad or in your community. Join Dr. Carolyn Peach Brown and Dr. Donald Wagner for the first set of presentations in the series, on Monday, February 2 at 11:30 am in the Faculty Lounge, SDU Main Building. Dr. Peach Brown’s presentation is titled “Forests, People and Development in Cameroon,” and will discuss the role of local institutions and community forest management in the Congo Basin forest of Cameroon. Dr. Wagner’s presentation is titled “Microfinance in Uganda and South Africa,” and will explore how microfinance is used as an economic development tool in Uganda and South Africa. The presentation will look both at some of the successes and challenges. Light refreshments will be provided, and a door prize will be given out to one lucky attendee!
