Au mois de mai prochain, l'AFSQ remettra le prix jeunesse pour la valorisation du milieu forestier 2015 à un établissement d'enseignement, à un organisme, à une personne ressource, à un groupe de jeunes ou à un jeune qui a réalisé des actions de sensibilisation en lien avec les ressources du milieu forestier. Vous pouvez dès maintenant soumettre votre candidature ou celle d'un établissement de votre connaissance.

FORCES AVENIR

Are you actively involved in your community? Have you demonstrated ingenuity, determination and leadership? Sign up now!

Capsule d'inscription - Programme collÃ©gial

Visit their website to see categories (individual or group projects). It is a wonderful opportunity to meet other engaged students and be recognized for what you have accomplished or will be accomplishing by the end of the school year.
Deadline: March 15, 2015
$58,000 in grants.

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).
