快播视频 has received a $1.2-million donation from the RBC Foundation as part of RBC Future Launch, directly supporting the work of the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora<\/a>, held by education Professor Carl James<\/a> in partnership with colleagues from four universities across the country \u2013 Dalhousie University, McMaster University, University of Calgary, and University of British Columbia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We anticipate that up to 900 high school and university students, and postdoctoral scholars could be served through the various projects as part of the Securing Black Futures: A National Partnership to Advance Youth Academic & Career Success<\/strong> program. RBC Foundation\u2019s $1.2-million donation will provide direct support to the Chair\u2019s programs in four key areas, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The research component will build on existing Canadian census data with a longitudinal study of grade 11 and 12 students over a three-year period, informing the development of new community-based and student-support programs, and will for the first time facilitate the sharing of documentation and data across Canadian universities \u2014 allowing for geographical and contextual comparisons to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Research & Data Hub brings together schools boards largely from Metropolitan Toronto (Durham Region, Peel Region, York Region, Toronto, Toronto Catholic and Ottawa) to act as a central repository of census data that will provide the first broad-based educational and social profile of youth in far greater depth than that which is presented by Statistics Canada. It will tell of the conditions which shape the experiences of children and youth; identify particular challenges and\/or barriers to their educational and social success; make visible institutional and structural inequities across sectors, communities and regions; and most importantly, provide opportunities to develop effective and transformative interventions. With research data and knowledge translation, children, youth, families, educators, youth workers, and social service providers will benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora, presents a special Faculty of Education Summer Institute (FESI) Special Edition Webinar, titled \u201cCelebrating RBC\u2019s Investment in Student Success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
