universityaffairs.ca/news/news-arti… via University Affairs We can't assume "it’s going to be business as usual" and PSEIs need to recognize and support the mental health needs of students as they are transiting to in-person learning and having to re-learn both social and study skills.

I knew David Onley when we were both covering TO news for different outlets. He was an absolute gentleman. Moreover, he showed a genuine interest in and compassion for other people, something we need more of in jrnlsm and in our society. Blessings David for your nxt journey.

My recent story in @UA. UNF was initially not recommended to receive a university designation but was later approved by Ont.'s ministry of colleges and universities. #CdnPSE

Bishop’s University in Quebec has eared a fair trade designation from Fairtrade Canada a national organization that promotes and sets standards for fairly traded products from small-scale producers in developing nations. #cdnpse bit.ly/3HwGq9d

This is a full circle moment to be in conversation with University Affairs where my earliest ideas for hope circuits found an emerging, wobbly voice under the care of long-time editor Leo Charbonneau. Thank you Universities Canada | Universités Canada for leading conversations about PSE: universityaffairs.ca/features/featu…

Happy National Numeracy Day! In the UK at least ... Would love to see something like this in Canada. In the meantime, how numerate are YOU? Try the challenge below. #mathed #maths #math

More interesting to me is that the Grade 9 EQAO will now count for 10 percent of a student's mark. That's a provincial mandate, not one imposed at school (which has gone on for years). Debate-worthy.

Empty booths at overseas education fairs. Administrators struggling to keep up with unpredictable changes. And yes, enrolments forecast to fall below Canada's international student visa cap. My latest in @UA.
