The Atwater Community Pantry turned one last week. This student-led initiative was born to tackle food insecurity in the neighbourhood surrounding ÆßÐDzʿª½±, and won a local Forces AVENIR award in the Mutual aid, peace, and Justice category earlier this year.
A group of students with the support of faculty, staff and the ÆßÐDzʿª½± Student Union worked to raise awareness about the situation in Iran, show solidarity with protesters and call on the government to act on Oct. 20.
Their efforts were covered by the local media:
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (NASA) is holding the 1st Workshop on Ices in the Solar System at ÆßÐDzʿª½± (Jan. 9–11, 2023).

Biennial 15 marks 30 years of ÆßÐDzʿª½± Fine Arts Faculty members exhibiting their current artworks at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery. It continues this long tradition of investigating the relationship between art making and learning, as well as reflects on the history of the biennial.
All faculty—past and present—of the Fine Arts department will have images and texts in the catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition. There will also be a sound component containing faculty responses to the question of how the biennial has played a role in the pedagogical innovations of ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s reputed Fine Arts Department.
Come admire Natalie °¿±ô²¹²Ô¾±³¦°ì’s ²õ³Ù³Ü»å±ð²Ô³Ù²õ’ Artists’ Books on display at the library. These were created as part of the Graphic Novels and Artists’ Books course from Studio Arts (Arts, Literature and Communication). In this course, students learn about the relationship between visual images and text. Students produce books in various formats as tests or dummies, and then make personal decisions about which format to use to create their own artists' book.
You can find the mini exhibit on the second floor of the library (entrance 5C.1), right in front of the Reference Desk.

Only a very small number of us has any formal training in how to teach. But the community facilitates something akin to crowd-sourcing of experience gained through experimentation. With dozens of practitioners exploring alternatives,…
During our October study break, a group of faculty from 6 departments – Biomedical Laboratory Technology, Diagnostic Imaging, Radiation Oncology, Nursing, Physiotherapy Technology and Social Services – met to plan for a November 11th symposium, where their third-year students can learn with, from and about each other. The day is the result of a 2-year…
What do you like best about the Diagnostic Imaging Program at ÆßÐDzʿª½±? What I liked best about being in the Diagnostic Imaging Program was how welcoming and supportive everyone is.
