biology technicians and contract lecturers attend inaugural teaching commons summer institute

technicians/contract lecturers micheal moore and susanne walford, along with contract lecturer nancy serediak, attended the first ever summer institute hosted by 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's teaching commons.  over the course of three days, participants partook in conversation, activities, and reflections to enhance and diversify their approaches to student based learning.  meeting a myriad of faculty, staff, and lecturers from across campus was a great opportunity to share strategies and struggles in the classroom and beyond.  topics ranging from active learning, inquiry-based learning, experiential learning, incorporating indigenous content, incorporating high and low tech, setting the tone in the classroom, and contemplative pedagogy were covered by knowledgeable people from the teaching commons and experienced invited guests.  

thanks to the enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge provided by instructors during this event, our heads are overflowing with ideas and resources which will enhance the learner-centered student experience this fall.  also, many thanks to the dean's who provided both breakfast and lunch over the three days.   faculty and staff from the department are encouraged to peruse the myriad of resources available on the teaching commons web site and partake in any number of workshops they offer throughout the year.

april 4, 2014 – thunder bay, on

a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 masters of business administration student, naureen mushfique, recently placed second in the focus 2040 competition.

this competition challenges 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to evaluate what the workplace will be like in the year 2040. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are asked to think beyond textbook principles, evaluate real world workplaces, and plan an innovative work system.

“when i first read the topic, it immediately caught my interest and my head was flooded with a plethora of ideas,” mushfique said. “the longer i thought about it, the more developed my idea became to the point where it was no longer an option of whether or not i wanted to participate –  i had toparticipate.”

mushfique believes that in 2040 organizations will collaborate more with technology to assist the work of employees. “data and technology will play a larger role in employee empowerment,” she said.

mushfique competed against 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from across canada in the first round of the competition. she then moved on to excel against 25 competitors in the second round to secure a spot among the top 10 finalists.

the finalists were invited to the degroote school of business to present their predictions to a panel of judges. mushfique received a cheque for $3,000 for placing second.

focus 2040 is a nation-wide competition organized by mcmaster university’s degroote school of business.  it is a joint venture between the degroote school of business (degroote) and the strategic capability network (scnetwork). 

mushfique learned about the competition from her professors, who suggested she participate. 

"the faculty of business administration at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 has always actively encouraged and supported 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who want to participate in different national and international competitions,” said dr. naqi sayed, associate professor in the faculty of business administration.

“over the years our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have successfully competed in many forums. naureen's accomplishment is another testament to the value that this faculty adds to all its 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ,” dr. sayed said.

mushfique chose lakehead because she wanted to study at a university where she wouldn’t be invisible. “at lakehead, it’s not just an education – it’s an experience. your classmates become your best friends and your professors become your mentors,” she said.

mushfique would like to work in procurement and supply chain management, which she says is full of potential.

a dozen 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and their instructor are taking a trip to europe to learn more about the history, monuments and battlefields of the first and second world wars.

this april and may, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 from the department of outdoor recreation, parks and tourism’s battlefield tourism course will spend 10 days visiting monuments and battlefields in normandy, northern france, belgium and holland.

lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will explore and gain a better understanding of the history of the events surrounding the first and second world wars.

“i am extremely interested in seeing the interpretation strategies used at the different battlefield sites, such as interpretive guides, displays, pamphlets and audio recordings, and to see how these sites are being managed,” said sarah schruiff, a third-year student.

“as well, i have some family who fought in the war and i would like to pay my respects to them and to all who fought in the war,” schruiff added. “this trip is a chance to fully grasp the significance of these battles and help us realize that they are not just stories in a textbook – they're real."

the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ' experiences will be captured in video interviews, updates, and blogs will be posted on the battlefield tourism website http://4370battlefieldtourism.blogspot.ca/.

“世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will acquire insight into the management and interpretation of these tourism sites, many of which began as memorials and pilgrimages,” said dr. harvey lemelin, instructor of battlefield tourism.

“the goal of this trip is to provide 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with a first-hand opportunity to see and feel what the sites offer, and perhaps even gain a better understanding of what canadian soldiers faced and endured during the first and second world wars,” dr. lemelin said.

世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will also contribute to research by interviewing visitors to the canadian national vimy memorial in northern france. the findings from these interviews will be published in reports and publications, and presented at conferences.

“commemorating the fallen and paying our respect is another important component of learning,” stated dr. lemelin.

“our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will honour the sacrifices of canadian veterans by placing a wreath at the menin gate in belgium, and on lieutenant norman howard pawley's grave at the villers station cemetery in france.” 

lieutenant pawley is the great uncle of dr. lori livingston, dean of health and behavioural sciences at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . he was killed during the battle of vimy ridge in 1917.

“we are honoured that the family is allowing us to pay our respects to lieutenant pawley,” dr. lemelin said.

the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will also examine the possibility of planting a tree in one of the city parks to honour all of the veterans from thunder bay and the north shore.
