Month: February 2014
Bringing well-being to the community
Dr. Michelle Mottola dragged her fingers lightly over the two red photo albums open on the counter in front of her. A smile spread across her face as she stopped at a picture of her first-born daughter.
Bringing mathematics to the community
Ask most school-aged kids and they may tell you that math is ‘scary.’ But one Western professor would like to change all that.
Bringing discovery to the community
Discovery Western is the kind of camp mad scientists might have gone to as children.
Bringing justice to the community
After Law student Maeve Byrne met her first client, she realized just how important her job was.
Bringing sweet sounds to the community
Irla Stewart lived in the small town of Goderich for 33 years. She had a community to be a part of. She had friends.
Bringing glorious noise to the community
Montcalm Secondary School’s music room looks like a scene from Jack Black’s School of Rock – electric guitars and Roland amps, cables and distortion pedals.
Bringing insight to the community
Dr. Marjorie Johnson speaks in front of a large, packed university lecture hall. Everyone sits silently, absorbing each bit of information with breathless enthusiasm. The next PowerPoint slide comes up on the screen.
Bringing a helping hand to the community
Swinging a hammer, cutting lumber and giving out gifts are probably not the typical business school activities. But for Ivey Business School students volunteering in the Ivey Connects program, those activities – and more – are an important part of their university experience.
Bringing the universe to the community
How many earthlings can say they’ve held pieces of the moon and Mars at the same time? Well, definitely the ones who have been to the Hume Cronyn Memorial Observatory at Western.
Bringing a home away from home to the community
Amira Guo came to Western from Beijing to attend Ivey Business School. But she didn’t know she’d also be helping fellow international students find comfort in a new country.
Bringing new opportunity to the community
Victoria Esses has been researching discrimination, immigration and prejudice for more than 20 years. She’s taught psychology, published papers and won awards. She has been named a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo and a SSHRC research fellow at the University of Toronto.
Bringing compassion to the community
