Killam Fellowships Program Fall Orientation
Each September, with the support of the United States Department of State, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, and the American Killam Trusts, the Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States of America hosts the incoming cohort of American Fulbright Scholars and the entire incoming class of Killam Fellows. Orientation, which is designed to provide an introduction to Canada and an opportunity to meet with management and staff at the Foundation, is critical to the overall exchange experience. This year, Orientation took place from September 15th through the 17th.

The three-day event offered the opportunity for the incoming cohort of grantees to engage in academic discussions, to participate in a question and answer session with Foundation staff, and to take part in a plethora of cultural activities, including the now-famous Fulbright Canada pick-up hockey game. The event was highlighted by the Annual Elizabeth Killam Rodgers and Constance Killam Distinguished Public Lecture. The 2011 Killam Lecture, entitled 'Rekindling the American Dream', was presented by noted Canadian economist Thomas J. Courchene.
