Why is it so difficult to lose weight?
This workshop gives participants insight into how the body manages fluctuations in body weight and why fad diets are troublesome in the long term. Successful behaviour modification and alternatives to fad diets are explored.
With the acceleration of digital and information technologies, older models of education as a pathway to knowledge mastery and skill proficiency are proving ineffective. Moreover, the Internet of Things and the advent of machine learning are blurring the cognitive capacities of humans and machines. Increasingly, thought leaders are pointing to a different model of human learning, one that emphasizes the ability to adapt, think and apply learning to quickly changing challenges. In this workshop, we will distill the research on learning agility, creativity and a related idea of cognitive flexibility, and connect with leadership principles, to build and apply a new model of leadership that combines learning and leading agility in the face of changing relationships between humans, machines and knowledge.

Nurses of Ubuntu
The Power of Human-ness
October 5th to November 3rd, 2016
Open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ubuntu, a word in the language of South Africa, is recognized as a world view of intense humanness and shared concern for each other and togetherness. “I am because you are” captures the recognition that we are interconnected, conscious of one another and sustained in each other.
Nursing students in the School of Health Science, explored concepts of cultural awareness and civic engagement, not in a classroom, but by working with local communities in Tanzania and Jamaica during their international clinical placements.
The exhibited body of work captures the substance of Ubuntu as the nursing students experience togetherness, honour compassion, promote tolerance and propagate harmony.
This interactive digital collection will reaffirm the power and the nature of an individual responsibility towards social change. This exhibition is an opportunity to connect with our own views and others…and ignite a dialogue about modern human-ness.
This interactive digital collection hopes to ignite the discourse about the need for our thoughts and actions to reflect that of connection, community and understanding.

A Warm Welcome
Melissa, a business student at the University of Guelph-Humber, along with several other team members have been working on a project called “Warm Welcome”. The project is on behalf of Enactus and the “Managing Not-For-Profit” course taught by Patricia Peel.
It is a winter coat drive that will hopefully be able to supply international students arriving this January with warm winter clothing. Most will be unprepared for the Canadian winter so having clothes readily available will help ease the new students transition.
On October 4th, Enactus will be collecting gently used winter wear varying from winter coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. The drive will be held in the Guelph-Humber building in the North Atrium. If you are not able to attend this particular drive but still want to participate, there will be the opportunity to attend additional donation dates on October 11th and November 3rd.
Share the warmth. Help others enjoy the Canadian winter. Your help is needed and much appreciated!
