Since its inception 14 years ago the Ball has become the largest and most successful event of its kind in Canada. This year's ball will be held at the Ottawa Congress Center on Feb. 9. The symposium provides the opportunity for experienced practitioners and researchers in the field of conflict resolution to meet one another and share their interests and concerns about theoretical and practical issues. This year's themes include peacebuilding and conflict resolution across cultures and nations, theoretical and research insights for the practice of mediation, and diverse applications of alternate dispute resolution. A number of Carleton academics will be presenting at the symposium.
Admission is free.

The 2001 Seaway Number Theory Conference will be held at Carleton University's School of Mathematics and Statistics on May 25 and 26. This is a small informal conference of number theorists which was previously held at Carleton in 1989 and 1995. The team suffered its first defeat of the season falling 69-65 to the University of Toronto Varsity Blues this past weekend.
