阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s 2020 report to the community celebrates hope and resilience

december 11, 2020 – thunder bay and orillia, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 launched its online 2020 report to the community “hope and resilience” website today, featuring stories and videos celebrating inspirational achievements by 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , alumni, and researchers.

lakehead’s president & vice-chancellor, dr. moira mcpherson, said, “our 2020 report to the community is about hope and resilience, and about celebrating our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, staff, researchers, and alumni who contribute so much to our communities.

“we invite our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , alumni, and friends around the world to experience our online annual report and to join us in celebrating what we have all achieved together,” she added.

the website hopeandresilience.ca shares annual updates on information about the university, presents the university’s impacts on the regions around its orillia and thunder bay campuses, and highlights the achievements by 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty and alumni from around the world.

canada’s minister of health, the honourable patty hajdu (ba’96/hba’97 anthropology), is among the inspiring alumni featured in this year’s report to the community.

on the website, the federal member of parliament at the forefront of canada’s response to the coronavirus describes how she had to abruptly shift gears as the virus spread throughout europe and then reached canada’s shores, adding that, “it’s always been a point of pride for me that i’m a lakehead grad.”

the website also celebrates fatima ahmed, who earned her bachelor of education in the spring of 2020 and is now a master of education student.

ahmed is currently teaching elementary 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 at a school in nunavik in the far north of quebec. before she started teaching, she assisted in the fight against hiv/aids in botswana, worked with the women’s development officer in vanuatu in the south pacific ocean, and served as the executive director helping at-risk youth in inuvik, northwest territories.

“having gone to a large university and a large campus for my first undergraduate degree, i think there is something special about attending smaller universities or campuses,” ahmed said. “at smaller universities, one is less likely to get lost as a number, which was unfortunately my experience with a larger university.”

being a physician in the middle of a pandemic is not an easy situation, however lakehead alumna dr. crystal luchkiw (hbasc’09) is staying focused on what’s best for her patients.

“as a practitioner, i’m very much about human connection,” she said. “i spend a lot of time making sure that people understand their diagnosis and providing emotional and psychological support.”

since march, dr. luchkiw has been trying to counteract the fear and uncertainty that has followed in the wake of covid-19. “i encourage my elderly patients to safely see their families and to go outdoors,” she said. “many of them didn’t leave their homes for months and that’s devastating to their health.”

dr. charles levkoe, lakehead’s canada research chair in sustainable food systems, is working with the indigenous food circle, which is stepping up during the pandemic to secure money to provide nutritious food for indigenous people in the region.

in times of crisis, vulnerable people often suffer the greatest hardships. this is proving true for indigenous communities as the coronavirus continues to cause loss of life and economic upheaval.

“indigenous people in northwestern ontario have almost double the rate of food insecurity as the white settler population,” dr. levkoe said.

finding ways to create a more equitable food system drives dr. levkoe’s research, however he recognizes that real change comes from working together with communities and grassroots organizations who take the lead in creating solutions.

lakehead celebrates several milestones on the website, including being on maclean’s 2021 list of canada’s top 10 primarily undergraduate universities, and in the top half of the times higher education (the) world university rankings. 

one of the world’s most respected ranking systems, the included lakehead among the top 100 universities from around the world in its 2020 impact rankings, which assess institutions against the united nations’ 17 sustainable development goals and more than 220 measurements.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 also celebrated the incredible financial impact it has on the province. lakehead adds approximately $1.545 billion per year to ontario’s gross domestic product. the annual economic impact of lakehead thunder bay on the province was approximately $1.4 billion, while lakehead orillia contributed $165 million. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is responsible for 6,277 full-time equivalent jobs.

 november 7, 2017 – thunder bay, on 

the theme of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s 2016/2017 report to the community was partnerships and pathways.

the cbc’s lisa laco hosted the annual luncheon at the italian cultural centre on november 7, which featured interviews with some of the exceptional people who helped make the last year a special one.

guests included colette lepage, a lakehead alumna from chemical engineering who is an engineer for the national aeronautics and space administration (nasa), and lakehead english professor scott pound with student gavin shields.

for many years, lepage has been working with a multinational team of scientists and engineers on nasa’s james webb space telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built, at the goddard space flight center in maryland. “it will look back in time to capture the first light after the big bang 13.8 billion years ago,” she said.

the chemical engineering program at lakehead included a challenging curriculum with group projects, public speaking, and mentoring, lepage said.

“the very best thing about lakehead was that you weren’t a number. two professors in particular – dr. nirdosh and dr. puttagunta – had a big impact on me. they wanted to make you the best engineer possible,” she said.

dr. pound described how he and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in his third-year life writing class, including gavin shields, met with hospice northwest clients, volunteers, and bereaved family members, to help write their memoir.

it was a unique challenge. “there was no template for this kind of project – and we weren’t interested in bland chronological summaries,” dr. pound said. they wanted compelling narratives that revealed the humanity of each person – a legacy that could be passed on.

“we also hoped that these memoirs would help destigmatize the larger conversation about death and dying,” dr. pound said.

shields, who is an indigenous learning student at lakehead, collaborated with an elderly woman who had looked after her terminally ill husband for four years. “he had just passed away when i started interviewing her,” shields said. “she was trying to put her life back together.”

he was moved by the way the memoir changed her perspective. “at the start of the course, she was a lady who didn’t think she had done much of importance, but she came to realize she’d had a worthwhile life,” shields said.

the report to the community was a chance to celebrate the year’s other successes, including the incredible financial impact that lakehead has on the province. 

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 adds approximately $1.4 billion per year to ontario’s gross domestic product. the annual economic impact of the university’s thunder bay campus on the province was $1.3 billion, while its orillia campus contributed $122.7 million. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 employs the equivalent of 6,277 full-time employees.

“the report to the community is a chance to look back on the year’s successes and to celebrate everything that we have achieved,” said david tamblyn, chair of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s board of governors.

dr. brian stevenson, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s president and vice-chancellor, said the university is dedicated to a student-centred approach that will lead to student success.

“at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 we are committed to tearing down barriers to post-secondary education and replacing them with pathways,” dr. stevenson said. “we do this because we believe in our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . and they believe in us.”
