Students considering a career in the public sector are invited to attend the Community and Public Service Career Fair, hosted by Career Development and Experiential Learning within the Office of Experiential Learning, on Wednesday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the CAW Student Centre Commons.

The event will give students the opportunity to connect with employers from government agencies, non-profits, law enforcement, and community service organizations to learn about a range of potential career paths within the public sector.

This is a chance to take the first step towards a fulfilling and impactful career and build meaningful connections with professionals who are actively shaping communities and making a difference.

Please note: exhibitors from police and law enforcement agencies will be in attendance with representatives in uniform. The presence of law enforcement may evoke concern or anxiety. The well-being of students, staff, and faculty is the top priority of fair organizers, who want everyone to feel safe and supported during such situations. Support and resources are available for anyone who may find themselves in need of assistance or sometime to talk to on the event website.

Questions can be directed to careerevents@uwindsor.ca.

The University of Windsor is a sponsor of a conference bringing academic researchers, clinicians, and health care professionals to Windsor to share their expertise and knowledge on acquired brain injury.

The Brain Injury Association of Windsor and Essex County hosts the annual conference, which this year explores the theme of current knowledge regarding the overlap of adult mental health and brain injury in terms of symptoms, and the current approach to treatment.

It will be held Friday, Oct. 20, in the Brown Auditorium at Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare, 1453 Prince Rd.

There will be speakers in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, neuropsychology, neuro-optometry, and physical medicine rehabilitation. There will also be a panel of practitioners in the fields of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, vestibular therapy, speech language pathology and kinesiology. The goal is to benefit healthcare professionals, students, legal professionals, and non-treating professionals who play a role in providing care and knowledge to individuals with acquired brain injuries.

Caregivers and those living with a brain injury, insurers, law firms, health care professionals, students and employers are welcome and encouraged to attend so they too can explore and learn more about how to best manage the symptoms of a dual diagnosis of an acquired brain injury and mental health illness. This is especially important given the significant economic and emotional impact on employment, activities of daily living, education, avocations, and family life.

Speakers include:

• Charles Tator, retired neurosurgeon and expert on brain injury and concussion, Toronto
• Michel Rathbone, neurologist, McMaster University, Hamilton
• Saadia Ahmad, neuropsychologist, Windsor
• Keith Sequeira, physiatrist, Parkwood Hospital, London
• Patrick Quaid, optometrist, author, and professor in vestibular-ocular dysfunction, Guelph
• Ryan Punambolam, neurologist, Windsor
