- Anne Wade, manager of and information specialist in the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP) is pictured in an article in Kenya's The Star about a training program for elementary school teachers in the Kenyan Coast Province. Wade gave instruction aimed at standardising and improving teaching methods in schools in the region.

- An opinion piece by Richard Foltz, founding director of and professor in the Centre for Iranian Studies at Concordia, appearing earlier this week in La Presse +, is reprised by LaPresse.ca. Foltz writes that the new Liberal government in Ottawa must follow up on its election promise to renew diplomatic relations with Iran, severed in 2012 under the previous Conservative government.
