Classes without Quizzes: New learning series for alumni and community
“Many alumni events are social in nature, so we’re excited to offer something different that is both educational and topical,” said Kim Tull, alumni relations manager at UTSC. “Our hope is that Classes without Quizzes will provide an academic and accessible environment that is both intellectually stimulating and speaks also to important events of the day. This new series provides an opportunity for alumni to revisit their alma mater, spend time in a classroom and learn from UTSC faculty.”
The first installment of the series, titled "Health vs. Wealth: Making Health Systems Work," took place on October 28 in the Science Research Building. Professor Franco Vaccarino, vice-president and principal of UTSC, hosted the seminar that focused on the question of “How Does Canada Measure Up?” in the context of a discussion about health care systems and their impact on people, patterns and policies.
Alumna and politician encourages others to pursue their passions
"Don’t be afraid to take risks and strive to achieve what you really want."
That’s the advice of Jennifer O’Connell (BA Hons. 2006), a member of Pickering City Council who encourages people to pursue their goals even if the odds are against them. O’Connell knows what she’s talking about. As the youngest member of council and one of only two female Pickering councilors, she bested the incumbent and another candidate to win a council seat in July 2006. Some people said that at the age of 23, she was too young to run for public office. Her victory in a tight race defeats that argument, and gives her a chance to put her passion and education to work for constituents. Read the full story.. |
