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?

Great and Practical Organizer — Keeps My Sink Area Neat
Color: Black
I bought this HOKEMOM kitchen sink organizer to keep my sink area tidy, and it has worked perfectly. It’s compact yet spacious enough to hold my sponge, dish soap, brushes, and other kitchen essentials. The drip tray is especially useful because it prevents water from pooling and keeps everything dry and clean. The material feels sturdy and durable, and it doesn’t look like it will rust easily with daily use. Since I placed it on my sink, the whole area looks much more organized and clutter-free. Simple product, but extremely functional!

Game changer
Color: Black
This kitchen sink organizer has been a game changer for my countertop! It’s sturdy, well-made, and fits perfectly next to my sink. The multiple compartments are ideal for keeping sponges, scrub brushes, dish soap, and even scrub pads neatly organized and within reach. I was able to clear up so much clutter around my sink area it looks so much cleaner and more functional now. I love the rust-proof design and the drainage holes on the bottom that keep everything dry instead of sitting in water.

Perfect Size and Highly Practical
Color: Black
This sink organizer with sponge and brush holder is the size I was looking for. The non-slip, drain-free base keeps everything dry and in place. Having my sponges and brushes within easy reach makes the sink area much more organized, and it fits perfectly without taking up too much space I like the quality. It has genuinely made my kitchen feel tidier and more efficient.

Very good quality
Color: Black
It is easy to assemble and works great with my soap, sponge and scrub brush. And it stands stable on the counter beside the faucet. I think the materials used are of good quality and should last a long time.
