UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

Valentine's Fair Trade Market. Main Hall (2nd floor) at lunchtime all week.

Get some Fair Trade products such as coffee, hot chocolate, panela (raw sugar), chocolate bars, jewels, scarves, tuques, etc.

All these products are high quality and come from small communities in northern Peru.

By purchasing Fair Trade, we are encouraging better working conditions and better prices for producers, development of health and school facilities in local communities and, on top of all this, less polluting farming. Furthermore, all the few profits we do are invested into the NGO Kiva doing microfinance.

Our students, participating in Eco St. Lo and in the local Amnesty group, want to make people at our College aware of the great added-value of Fair Trade.

There will be a table in the main hall (2nd floor) at lunchtime from February 9 to 13.

You have academic issues and need information? Do not know whom to ask?

If your teachers do not have the information, students with questions about academics should start with Kiki Papaconstantinou, their Academic Advisor (Room 234). She can directly handle many of the questions (including credit for prior courses, incomplete courses for medical reasons and athletes' absences). In some cases she will refer questions to other staff in Academic Affairs. Josée Guilbault handles non-athletics-related absences, as well as academic appeals and complaints (Room 233). Kiki and Josée may refer some cases, including student concerns regarding cheating and plagiarism to Gordon Brown, Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs (Room 226) or to his administrative assistant for booking an appointment, Lynne Bernier (Room 231).
