This presentation outlines opportunities that faculty, staff and students have to contribute to higher education development worldwide. AHED is a Canadian Non-­Governmental Organization that sends Canadian volunteers abroad to share their knowledge with colleagues based in institutions of higher education in the developing world. Volunteers include support and technical staff, administrators, faculty and students and they may work in a variety of higher education institutions around the globe, including universities, technical institutes, and colleges. Find out about AHED’s exciting new program that contributes $10,000 toward covering the expenses of volunteers who would like to propose their own projects.

John Waterhouse is a member of AHED’s Board of Directors who has taught internationally in China, Turkey and Australia. Most recently, he has volunteered his time on an AHED sponsored project in which he was an advisor to the president of the University of Liberia. A former VP Academic, Dean of Business, and Professor at Simon Fraser University, Professor Waterhouse is a specialist in management control, corporate governance and non-­financial performance measures.
