This past Tuesday, Baking and Pastry Arts students and faculty baked a whopping 500 pies in support of United Way. Staff and students gathered together all evening to bake a delicious array of flavours - including apple crumble, southern pecan, spiced pumpkin and bumbleberry - just in time for Thanksgiving. 

A big thank you goes out to Chefs Kumar, Ku, Gonzalez, Joseph and Smith for organizing the production and to all the students who helped make the pies. It was not only a learning experience in collaboration and team work, but was also a fun way to spend an evening. 

Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your meals!

I am writing to share the news with you that Kathy Ullyott has accepted the role of Program Head, Media Studies at the University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH), effective October 1. 

Kathy served as the Assistant Program Head of Media Studies from 2013-18, and in August 2018 she stepped in as Acting Program Head. Over the years, Kathy worked closely with former Media Studies Program Head, Jerry Chomyn, on all aspects of program and curriculum development. Kathy also spearheaded Emerge – a capstone course for fourth-year students, including three magazines, a one-day media conference and related digital, videographic and marketing initiatives.  

Prior to joining UofGH, Kathy enjoyed a career as a top-level editor at a number of Canada’s most-read magazines, where she oversaw staff of up to 40 individuals in print, digital, photographic and design roles, managed annual budgets and developed a deep network of media industry contacts.

I hope you will join us in congratulating Kathy on her new role as Program Head at UofGH. 

With thanks,

Dr. John Walsh
Vice-Provost & Chief Academic Officer

Objectives:

  1. Define the difference between technical skills and human relation skills
  2. Identify traits of positive and negative attitudes
  3. Identify the relationship between success and a positive attitude

Autumn is firmly upon us, and there is lots of scholarly activity happening this month in the CTL! We’re happy to share the latest edition of Scholars & Co., highlighting many of these initiatives. In particular, we’d like to draw your attention to the drop-in research consultation sessions being offered by the CTL SoTL team this month. These are opportunities for faculty that may be working on a research project (through the Innovation Fund, Applied Research, graduate credentials, or anything else in between), and would like help or advice with a research- or data-related question.

For more information about anything in the newsletter, please contact CTLResearch@humber.ca.
