To be credible partners overseas, universities must be credible partners for the well-being of the peoples of their own regions. Canadian universities have enjoyed long and productive histories of both regional and international cooperation. Many were nurtured through early relationships with longer standing European and US institutions. Especially since Canada became a serious aid donor in the early 1970s, Canadian universities, in their turn, began to share experiences and resources overseas. Initially this was with institutions in less prosperous nations; then, particularly since the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was also with partners in the transition economies of Eastern Europe. Most recently it has been with China and a resurgent India. Often a universitys regional and international linkages began with individual faculty or student commitments. Some then evolved into projects (frequently four or five year contractual arrangements), supported by aid agencies. A few such projects later expanded into more open-ended network arrangements bridging disciplines, sectors, institutions and sometimes even continents. The more complex some of these partnerships have become, the more challenging have been the ethical, academic, and financial implications for the Canadian institutions themselves, not to mention their counterparts. Long term, more visionary and more strategic approaches have become critical. More entrepreneurial administrative structures and much heightened sensitivities to human rights, cross-cultural, gender and inter-disciplinary issues have been essential. What, it must ruthlessly be asked, are the visions for post-secondary education for 2020 (not to mention 2050) that are empowering the more progressive of todays institutions? How are they helping shape present regional and international development partnerships?

Nice Lightweight Case with a Handy Pencil Holder
Color: Sky Blue
I received this 11-inch / iPad 10th Generation 10.9" case with Pencil Holder in Sky Blue through the Vine program, and overall it’s a nice, practical case. The sky blue color is very pretty—soft and clean looking without being too bright. It gives the iPad a fresh look and feels nice in hand. The fit is good for the iPad 10th generation, and the soft TPU back makes it easy to install while still feeling secure once it’s on. I also appreciate the built-in Apple Pencil holder. It keeps the pencil from rolling around or getting lost in a bag, and it’s easy to access when needed. The trifold stand works well for basic viewing and typing angles. It holds the iPad steady when watching videos or browsing. However, the folds can feel a little less firm than some higher-end cases, so you sometimes need to position it carefully to keep the angle just right. I do like that the case stays slim and lightweight, so it doesn’t add much bulk while still offering decent everyday protection. Overall, it’s a good, functional case with a nice color and useful pencil holder. It may not feel quite as premium as some more expensive options, but it does the job well and is a solid choice for everyday use.

Great for iPad kids👍
Color: Sky Blue
I bought this in 2023/2024 and it's still intact and usable after hundreds of food stains and me accidentally dropping it. Thank you for protecting my iPad, very great product. Otherwise, my mom would've beat my ass for breaking the iPad. PSA, the case looks the same as the picture😛

Great case for the price! Love the color!
Color: Sky Blue, Color: Sky Blue
I’ve had this case on my iPad (A16 11th gen) for a few months now and it’s held up really well. It still looks good with only a few minor scuff marks, which is expected with regular use. The front cover has a slight magnetic feel, so it stays closed nicely, and I like that it folds back to prop the iPad up for watching or typing. It’s not super bulky but still gives good protection. Also has a pen holder spot on the side! Overall, it’s a great affordable option if you want something simple, functional, and durable without spending a lot!
