Panther Basketball will hold its annual Shoot for the Cure fundraiser on Saturday evening when both the women’s and men’s teams play the Memorial University Sea-Hawks at the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre. The women’s game begins at 6 pm with a Shoot for the Cure ceremonial tip-off featuring breast cancer survivor Loretta Coady MacAulay.

Environmental Studies students from Dr. Carolyn Peach Brown’s Introduction to Environmental Studies class got a hands-on lesson this fall in restoring damaged ecosystems.

It’s a busy weekend at home on the ice and the court, with loads of opportunities to cheer on your Panthers!

Congratulations to Jane McLaughlin (Women’s Basketball) and Marcus Power (Men’s Hockey), the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Panther Subway Athletes of the week for November 14-20! 

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) have awarded an Insight Grant to Dr. Sean Weibe, Professor of Education at the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú.

Forty-eight ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú students were recognized for their writing skills at the fifth annual MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing celebration held in Don and Marion McDougall Hall on Friday, November 18.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Athletics and Recreation are hosting the tenth annual Shoot for the Cure fundraiser Saturday, November 26.  The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú Women’s Basketball team will host the Memorial Seahawks with a tip off of 6:00 pm.

Shoot for the Cure is a fundraising initiative led by University Sport’s Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and other related charities. The campaign has proven an overwhelming success since it was launched in the fall of 2007, having collected over $1 million in donations. This season, and for the sixth year in a row, all 47 University Sport women's basketball schools are set to participate in the program.

The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú signed memorandum of understandings (MOUs) this week with three universities at the Canadian Bureau of International Education (CBIE) Annual Conference in Ottawa. 

October was Cyber Security Awareness Month in Canada, but ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú encourages students, faculty and staff to “protect while you connect" year-round.  There are several simple ways to stay safe online, says Dana Sanderson, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹Ù·½Èë¿Ú’s Chief Information Officer.
