Our Team
A message from the Chair of the ۶Ƶ Board of Directors Chair and President & CEO
Much of the work that ۶Ƶ has undertaken can be summed up by the aphorism, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” as our work has been grounded in the understanding that our efforts to support new and returning international students in the province will benefit all our members, schools, and partners, and international students within the province of Nova Scotia.
۶Ƶ’s best work represents connection, collaboration, and community. We recognize that collaboration is often challenging, as our institutional policies are not always designed to share – whether that is in-market intelligence, student enrolment data, or intellectual property. Yet together, we have created numerous examples of how we continue to find ways to overcome these challenges to work to collectively support international students, often in the face of obstacles and adversity, which we affectionately call “co-opitition.”
