SUMMARY:Guitars – The Sophomore Album – an Evening of Art and Activism
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Wendy Friesen for a talk and tour of her Guitars – The Sophomore Album in the Brandon University Library Curve Gallery. This sequel exhibit continues to explore themes of music\, community\, inclusivity\, celebration\, healing\, and Pride through pop art sculpture. Building upon on her 2024 works\, this new series continues to showcase detailed\, hand-constructed miniature guitars\, both replicas and original conceptions\, crafted from recycled materials. Friesen’s visual work evokes a euphoric rock and roll frenzy\, formative to identities of so many! \nFriesen will also speak to her recent activism work\, including a parliamentary petition to ensure greater protections of 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in Canada\, including a challenge to Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the “notwithstanding clause”) in allowing provincial legislatures to override human rights. \nFollowing Friesen’s presentation\, Leila Praznik\, Director of the Westman Empowerment Fund will speak to work of the Fund\, how it supports gender-diverse people in the Westman community\, and how people can help. \nThen please join Brandon University Library Assistant\, PENT Instructor\, and BU Queer Committee member Marian Ramage\, in the Convergys Lab. Marian will provide a walkthrough of the BU Queer LibGuide: 2SLGBTQIA+ and Gender Diverse Resources. She will share information about resources available in the library’s physical collection\, as well as publicly available information sources\, and will provide guidance on library searching. Following the discussion\, a tour of the library collection will be provided. \nLight refreshments will be served at this event\, sponsored by the BU Queer Committee.

SUMMARY:Incident and Hazard Reporting Drop In
DESCRIPTION:Meet in the Convergys Lab with IT Services and Health and Safety to walk through the new incident and hazard reporting form and to answer any questions you may have about the reporting process. Open to BU Employees and Students. \n\nFriday May 9\, Noon-1 pm\nTuesday May 13\, Noon-1 pm\nThursday May 22\, Noon-1 pm\nMonday June 2\, Noon-1 pm\n\nThis new web form has been tested in pilot by members of the Workplace Safety and Health Committee and will replace the existing PDF form on the BU Safety web page. This form will make incident and hazard reporting much easier and faster for BU employees and students. \nIncident and hazard reporting is a critical aspect of the University’s health and safety program. Reporting allows the University to be proactive in identifying concerns and implementing corrective measures. If you see a health or safety concern\, the new form will allow you to report it quickly so it can be addressed. \nSome incidents\, especially those resulting in injury to a person\, or damage to property\, require detailed investigation and recordkeeping\, which the new form allows. Serious incidents require BU to conduct investigations and report upwards to provincial authorities. Hazards and near misses are just as important to report to help the University avoid an incident where someone could be injured or property damaged. \nCampus education and communication on incident and hazard reporting will continue through the summer and into the fall. At this time\, a walkthrough video is also available to showcase the new form. \nAs we move through the summer and prepare for new students joining in the Fall\, Al Trotz\, Cheryl Fleming and Jessica Laxdal will be including information about incident and hazard reporting in their orientation materials for students.

SUMMARY:Western Manitoba Science Fair
DESCRIPTION:Brandon University is thrilled to welcome the Western Manitoba Science Fair to the BU Healthy Living Centre. \nPublic viewing of the projects is open from 2–4 p.m. \nLearn more at wmsf.com \nAbout the WMSF\nThe Western Manitoba Science Fair is the Regional Science Fair for Southwestern Manitoba and has been in operation since 1969. It provides an opportunity for students to showcase their scientific talent for their parents\, teachers\, and the community. Applicants come from grades 1 through 12. The WMSF is a full day event\, held in spring every year\, and we usually host around 500 hundred students. The participants set up their projects first thing in the morning\, and then judging begins! After presenting their projects to the judges\, the participants are provided with some entertainment and educational activities (the ‘Science Olympics’) while the judges are tabulating their results.  In the early afternoon there is a public viewing of the projects where community members and media can view the projects and talk to the participants. The award/medal ceremonies are held at the end of the day. We award bronze\, silver\, and gold medals\, in addition to various Special Awards. The final awards of the evening are Best of Fair and the Runner(s) Up; these top projects of the fair in grades 7 – 12 receive an all expenses paid trip to compete in the Canada Wide Science Fair. \nIn addition to the students\, the WMSF also welcomes around 150 community members each year to judge at the fair. This group of amazing volunteers is made up of university and college professors and students\, local business owners and employees\, and community members of all ages. We are always looking for more judges\, so click on the ‘Volunteer’ tab at the top of the page for more info if you are interested! \nWMSF is organized and run by a very small group of dedicated volunteers. We are funded by a combination of donations and sponsorships from local businesses and organizations. \nBrandon University proud to be a Strategic Partner!

SUMMARY:Teach-in: EDI in education
DESCRIPTION:A teach-in today at Brandon University brings faculty and community members together to emphasize the value of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion to higher education. \nDrawing on roots in student activism in the 1960s\, a teach-in is a type of participatory educational forum\, typically oriented towards action. Today’s teach-in will include a panel of speakers with knowledge\, expertise\, experience\, and insights about the importance of EDI in higher education now and – especially – in the future. \nThe panel will consist of brief opening remarks from each panelist that include views on the undermining of EDI to date and the significance of EDI going forward. Speakers will discuss how the threats to EDI have impacted them and others in the community. Following the opening remarks\, the teach-in will move into a dialogue with the audience. \nThe event will take place in the mingling area from 4:45–6 p.m. on Tuesday\, February 11\, and there will be refreshments provided by Bailey’s. \nToday’s teach-in was organized by the equity committee of the BU Faculty Association\, which points at executive orders dismantling EDI in the United States\, and the recent pullback from EDI language in Canada as requiring a response.

SUMMARY:Book Launch — Uncut: A Cultural Analysis of the Foreskin
DESCRIPTION:University of Regina Press and Brandon University are hosting a book launch for Jonathan A. Allan’s forthcoming Uncut: A Cultural Analysis of the Foreskin at the Gathering Space of the John E. Robbins library on Thursday November 21st at 6pm.\nWe will be treated to a short reading from the book and a discussion of how Dr. Allan’s research in the archives lead him to explore texts as diverse as parenting manuals\, dating columns in newspapers\, ephemera from fetishists\, medical literature\, reports from international development organizations\, as well as the manifestos of activists for what they can reveal about our understanding of the foreskin\, and how this understanding reveals that notions of masculinity\, agency\, and sexuality are in flux.\nPlease RSVP. The event is free\, light refreshments will be served\, and we are looking forward to seeing you there!\nEventbrite Site
