Committee formed to identify safety measures on campus 

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s introduced additional measures this fall to ensure that students, faculty, and staff all feel and are safe on campus. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We were appalled by the violent attack during Pride Month at Waterloo, which resulted in three people being hospitalized,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Provost and Vice--Principal (Academic) Matthew Evans. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�There is no excuse for violence of any sort, especially on a university campus. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s stands shoulder to shoulder with our colleagues at Waterloo as they cope with this terrible act. It is a sad reflection on the state of the world today that this act of hate could occur.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

To ensure Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s proactively addressed any lessons learned from the June 2023 classroom attack on students at the 카지노게임사이트 of Waterloo, an ad hoc committee was formed, led by the Office of the Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic). The committee identified three key actions that have been or were to be undertaken heading into the fall term. 

The first is to refrain from making public any information concerning class locations or details such as instructor names. Specific information is available to each student individually when that student registers for the course. 

The second action is an audit of all central classrooms to ensure that appropriate signage and telephone connections are available in the event of an emergency.  

The third is a review of supports and tools for instructors. Instructors are already provided with materials to assist them in dealing with disclosures of intimate partner violence and mental-health issues. In addition, Campus Security and Emergency Services (CSES) currently offers de-escalation training to provide employees with the skills to identify, respond to, and verbally de-escalate certain situations.

Art tells powerful story at the Isabel  

On Oct. 24, the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts hosted a special Welcoming Celebration for a unique exhibition. Art and Wastes in Panniqtuuq, Nunavut looked at the research of Myra Hird (School of Environmental Studies), who has been working with the Inuit community of Panniqtuuq (Pangnirtung), Nunavut, on waste issues, and one of her PhD students, Micky Renders. For the past four years, Ms. Renders has worked with several Inuit artists to create art that engages with waste issues from a Truth and Reconciliation perspective. The exhibition included contributions from Inuit Elders, artists, and youth, and included sculptures, photographs, tapestry and other art works that provided insights into the contemporary history of Canada, waste issues, and Truth and Reconciliation. The exhibition was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Office of Indigenous Initiatives, the VP Academic Office, the Human Rights and Equity Office, and the Provost카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Advisory Committee for the Promotion of the Arts at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. Special guests at the event included Provost and VP Academic Matthew Evans, VP Research Nancy Ross, and Sen. Mary Coyle, a representative of the Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples. The exhibition is scheduled to be presented in Peterborough, Ont., in 2025 and organizers hope to take it to other Canadian cities in the future.
