SUMMARY:Read&Write: Reading Essentials
DESCRIPTION:Do you find getting through required textbook readings a challenge? Can understating dense academic articles feel overwhelming? Do you experience information overload and find it difficult to retain what you’ve read? \nIn this 30-minute session\, Student Accessibility Specialists will provide an overview of how students can use the Read&Write tool\, along with a selection of learning strategies\, to help navigate these challenges. \nRead&Write is a versatile literacy support toolbar that helps students read\, write\, study\, and research with confidence. For this session\, we will look at how students can use the Read&Write toolbar to: \n\nRead aloud text from websites\, PDFs\, or Word documents to help with focus\, retention\, and comprehension\nUnderstand words with vocabulary lists\, picture and text dictionaries\nAnnotate PDFs with highlights\, sticky notes\, and summary features to break down dense text into manageable sections\nReduce visual distraction with the screen masking tool that directs focus on one line or section at a time\nConvert text into audio so you can review information on the go\n\nIt works with websites\, PDFs\, and Brandon University platforms such as Moodle and Microsoft Office 365 web apps. Read&Write is free for all students and can also be accessed off campus using your Brandon University account. \nAll students are welcome!

SUMMARY:Remembrance Day 2025 - University Closed
DESCRIPTION:Lest we forget.\nBrandon University will be closed on Tuesday\, November 11 to remember the sacrifices made. No classes are scheduled. The university will reopen on Wednesday\, November 12. \nIn Flanders Fields \nIn Flanders fields the poppies blow\nBetween the crosses\, row on row\,\n  That mark our place; and in the sky\n  The larks\, still bravely singing\, fly\nScarce heard amid the guns below. \nWe are the Dead. Short days ago\nWe lived\, felt dawn\, saw sunset glow\,\n  Loved and were loved\, and now we lie\n      In Flanders fields. \nTake up our quarrel with the foe:\nTo you from failing hands we throw\n  The torch; be yours to hold it high.\n  If ye break faith with us who die\nWe shall not sleep\, though poppies grow\n      In Flanders fields. \n– Lt-Col. John McCrae
