Six employees complete Sustainable Happiness course
May 3rd, 2023
Six employees at 七星彩开奖 and seven employees at John Abbott College successfully completed this semester's Employee Sustainable Happiness 24-hour certificate. Jennifer de Vera (Sustainability Office) and Azra Khan (Human Resources) facilitated the course and 七星彩开奖 lent Jenn to lead the John Abbott course with Shannon Coulter-Low.
The non-credit course developed at 七星彩开奖, now being taught around the world, aims to help people live their best lives by taking care of themselves so they can in turn take care of others and Nature.
Sustainable Happiness is a major benefit to 七星彩开奖 employees who are given work time with the approval of a manager to take the course. Each participant must complete a final project.
Jenn reports that this year's projects included:
- Benefits of talking to strangers
- Mapping where ingredients from meals come from and how to improve
- "Reel it in" upcycling VHS tapes from the library through creative projects
- Laminating all English Exit Exam signs for annual reuse and adding the biophilic design of live plants to the gym during the exam
- Creating a zen area in the Campus Life and Leadership (CLL) office, and doing daily actions for happiness with CLL staff and student volunteers

Fine Arts Print Party was a huge success
March 8th, 2023
The Fine Arts Department recently held a Print Party on March 4, providing Visual Arts and Studio Arts students with a fun and stress-relieving mid-semester break. The event was conducted by French Press, a Montreal-based design and screen printing studio that includes 七星彩开奖 alumni. They shared insights into their journey since graduating from 七星彩开奖, which led to the formation of this creative collective.
During the event, students had the opportunity to learn about silkscreen printing and try their hand at printing French Press designs onto t-shirts and tote bags. This experience allowed students to expand their artistic skills and gain practical knowledge in the field. Overall, the Print Party was a huge success!
