Research shows that high levels of anxiety during tests impairs students’ performance significantly and may account for the loss of up to one letter grade. In severe cases students may fail the exam or course despite knowing the material well. 

Counselling and Accessible Learning Services are jointly offering an experiential workshop for students to understand the causes of ‘test anxiety’, to recognize their own early warning signs, and strategies to manage/decrease it prior to and during exams. Students often hope it will ‘go away’ or feel anxious even contemplating their anxiety and may be reluctant to attend a workshop on this issue.

This workshop was designed with that in mind. Facilitator will demystify ‘test anxiety’, provide information, tools and strategies to students in a supportive, informal and engaging atmosphere.

On Thursday, April 12, Humber and Guelph-Humber will be celebrating the Day of Pink. The International Day of Pink is a time when communities across the country, and across the world, can unite in celebrating diversity and raising awareness to stop homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, and all forms of bullying.

The International Day of Pink was started in Nova Scotia when two straight high school students saw a gay student wearing a pink shirt being bullied. The two students intervened, but wanted to do more to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying. They decided to purchase pink shirts, and a few days later got everyone at school to arrive wearing pink, standing in solidarity. The result was that an entire school took a stand and began working together to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying.

The message was clear: anyone can bully, anyone can be victimized by bullying, but together we can stop it.

How can I get involved in the International Day of Pink?

This much anticipated event is 13 years strong! Once again we will be throwing our support behind the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. To honour those in our Humber Community, we have lanterns to carry in support. Should you wish to reserve a lantern, please email Debra Basch. This event is known for its fun atmosphere, great prizes and give-aways and why not get those steps in your fitbit logged faster!  We hope to see you there. Last year, we saw teams coming together to support a colleague, peer and/or loved one with either leukemia or lymphoma. Registration information is on eventbrite. 

Would love to support us but cannot attend - we can accommodate that request as well. Don't forget to follow us on Social Media!
