UWC Day 2016 - Pearson College 

21 September 2016

Wednesday, September 21st is UWC Day, which also coincides with International Peace Day, so we have a lot to celebrate!  Instead of regular classes, we will spend a full day together doing workshops and activities around peace and what it means to be part of the UWC Movement. 

This year’s UWC-wide theme is Connect, Challenge, and Celebrate. An amazing team of students, faculty, and staff have put this day together and I think it’s going to be a memorable one!
