Saini, who left India at age 23 to pursue doctoral studies in Australia, will discuss Professional success in a new environment: Insights from an immigrant's personal journey. Frequently contacted by fellow immigrants, Saini will share his personal and professional insight and knowledge on those factors that he feels will ease the path to success for other newcomers.

After completing his PhD at the University of Adelaide, Australia, Saini moved to Canada in 1982 to begin his Canadian academic career at the University of Alberta. He has also held positions at the Université de Montréal and the University of Waterloo. He joined U of T Mississauga in July, 2010.

Saini's lecture, sponsored by U of T's School of Continuing Studies, will be followed by a question-and-answer session and informal networking reception.
