The charity benefiting from a student-organized dodgeball tournament got an unexpected bonus, as the winning team turned over its $500 prize for the cause.
The tournament -- Saturday, March 24, at Assumption College Catholic High School -- was the brainchild of a group in business professor Martha Reavley’s Management and Organizational Behaviour Class: Zach Braga, Tyler Jahn, Evan Rhyno, Mohamad Zein and Nowshin Nur.
“Overall it went spectacular,” said Jahn. “As we dwindled down to the finals, everyone was duking it out and in the end, Team Meadows won.”
It’s hard to be sick.
That’s the lesson students in professor Cheri Hernandez’s class “Chronicity in Health Care” took from a project which challenged them to adhere for one week to a regimen prescribed for patients living with chronic illness.
“I wanted them to be better nurses,” Dr. Hernandez said Wednesday, after hearing presentations on the student experiences. “Health professionals who have empathy recognize that complete adherence is impossible.”

Romina Oulevey, co-op coordinator in the Centre for Career Education, received that accolade Thursday in accepting the student-nominated award at the annual GEM luncheon.
“Romina encouraged me to increase my confidence level, realize my positive points which ultimately led to my success,” her nominator wrote. “I am now mentoring other students the way she mentored me.”
This Friday, come 7 p.m. at the Katzman Lounge, more than 40 creative writing students will be presenting their work at the Creative Writing Gala Reading.
Each student stands up to the podium, takes a deep breath, and reads a short piece. Then the next student runs up, and presents theirs.
“I’m really excited,” said Priscilla Bernauer, a fourth-year English literature and creative writing student. “This’ll be my third consecutive year doing it.”
