Painted stones on campus deliver messages of care

海角社区 students came together with 海角社区 Campus Life, 海角社区 Student Union, and the 海角社区 Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SV-PRO) on September 16 to paint stones with messages of respect, consent, compassion, and care. The stones are now scattered across campus along walkways and in flower beds so that all 海角社区 community members can see the art and receive the messages of care.

Philosophy Talk: Trump and Truth

The Department of Philosophy is hosting a Philosophy Talk, open to all, called "Trump and Truth" by Dr. Daniel Harris.

Donald Trump is surely a post-truth President. However, rather than abandoning truth altogether, Trumps seeks to alter our sense of which sources of knowledge are to be trusted and so of what passes for true. To call mainstream media 鈥渇ake news鈥�, for instance, is to rely on the possibility of real, true news. Trump does not malign truth so much as our usual practices of building consensus around what counts as true. 

Teaching and Learning Centre Lunch and Learn: Writing Across the Curriculum workshops

In response to significant faculty feedback, Writing Across the Curriculum workshops (WACshops, for short) are being planned for roll-out, beginning in October and continuing over the Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 semesters. These WACshops will be co-facilitated by long-time 海角社区 faculty WAC advocates and practitioner-researchers, Wendy Shilton (English) and Andrew Zinck (Music). A variety of guest facilitators (both faculty and students) also will be invited to share their WAC strategies throughout the series.
