Hi Jabbar.

Thanks for your voicemail. I'm pasted the information from the letter below. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Many thanks,
Brenda

Dear Jabbar,

We are writing to invite your participation as a guest and discussion leader in Simon

Fraser University’s Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue for the fall 2009 course “Art in

Community: Creating Cultures of Ingenuity and Innovation.” Attached (electronic) is

information describing this unusual program, and a tentative outline of the upcoming

semester.

This full-time, one-semester program includes up to 20 of Simon Fraser University’s

brightest third and fourth year students, selected through a rigorous application process

from diverse Departments and Faculties. While their experiences and future interests

vary, they all share high academic standing, unusual motivation and enthusiasm, a keen

interest in engaging public issues, and exceptional communication abilities. I think you

will find your time with the class to be invigorating and worthwhile.

We hope you will join us on Thursday 29 October 2009, 9:30-12:00 with Don

Montgomery (Executive Director, Asian Heritage Month) to discuss the role of art and

culture in diverse communities, and related topics.

We believe our students would benefit significantly from your participation as a guest

and conversationalist. Keep in mind that the course is dialogue-oriented, class time is

interactive rather than lecture-focused, and creative approaches that facilitate active

learning are welcome. We generally steer away from formal presentations, except for a 5-

10 minute introduction about yourself and potential issues you might like to discuss with

the students.

The students will have read relevant material prior to your visit, both for background and

to help stimulate discussion. Any suggestions you might have for readings would be

welcome.

One of us or a student will contact you a week before your session to discuss your

presentation and coordinate any audio-visual requirements. The class will meet at Simon

Fraser University’s Harbour Centre campus (515 W. Hastings St.), room HC 3050.

Please confirm your participation with a phone call or e-mail message to Brenda Tang

(778 782 5075, brendat@sfu.ca), Administrative Coordinator to the Centre for Dialogue.

Your response by 31 July would be greatly appreciated.

Students participating in innovative university programs of this type benefit from a

combination of academic, professional, and personal exchanges that make their learning

opportunity extraordinary. Your involvement in our dialogue will contribute significantly

to achieving this outcome.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to discuss. We

would greatly appreciate your taking part in this exciting educational endeavour, and look

forward to talking with you further.

Sincerely,

Mark L. Winston, FRSC, Academic Director, Centre for Dialogue

Judith Marcuse, Visiting Faculty

Andrea Rose, Visiting Faculty
