Bonne et heureuse année à tous! Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer que le congrès annuel du CPCAT aura lieu cette année à l'hôtel Marriott au centre-ville d'Ottawa, en Ontario. Les dates retenues en 2012 sont le 28 juin toute la journée et le 29 juin en matinée. Le congrès aura pour thème « The State of Student Transfer and Mobility in Canada: Learning from Each Other »  (État actuel des transferts et de la mobilité des étudiants au Canada : apprendre les uns des autres).

Cette année, le congrès du CPCAT a été coordonné avec celui de l'Association des registraires des universités et collèges du Canada (ARUCC). Le congrès biennal de l'ARUCC commencera le 25 juin et chevauchera celui du CPCAT le 28 juin, les deux rencontres ayant lieu dans le même hôtel à Ottawa. Nous espérons que cela rendra plus facile la participation aux deux congrès, si vous en décidiez ainsi.

L'appel de propositions pour le congrès du CPCAT et les détails sur l'inscription vous seront transmis sous peu.

Nous vous offrons nos meilleurs vœux de santé et de bonheur pour 2012!
