THE DAY: After ACE members have been warmly welcomed by the VIU
Career Centre, the ACE Research Committee will make a presentation followed by
a return of the popular ‘SHOW AND TELL’. BBQ lunch and the AGM are followed by an afternoon with Sandra Birrell.
She will present insights into the “student perspective” taken from her SFU Co-op Blog Research Project. This
project features students in their first co-op employment term and reveals student concerns and expectations that are seldom
shared with co-op coordinators and employers. The day will close with a chance to network overlooking the
Georgia Strait.
