It’s the week before fall term break! Take time to get some rest, volunteer, catch up on readings and other school tasks, see some friends and family, and get outdoors! Research shows students who socialize, volunteer, relax, play and exercise are more likely to succeed academically and report positive well-being.

Oki! I hope you’ve participated in some of the Truth and Reconciliation Week activities this week. I attended a breathtaking screening of Iniskim: The Return of the Buffalo in Science Commons and a nighttime lantern puppet performance in the Grove. I also went to a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Buffalo Treaty. ULethbridge is a signatory. What are you doing to learn more about how to play an active part in achieving reconciliation.

The excitement has been palpable on the two campuses (Lethbridge and Calgary) since all of you started school this fall term. Between events and classes, there has been a lot going on. I attended the Pronghorn Triple Header last weekend and was so impressed with our women’s soccer and rugby teams and our men’s soccer team. What a way to start the year! I hope you feel warmly welcomed, more settled this week, and are enjoying your classes.

Some advice for a Thursday before spring break: Attend your classes. Even if you think you can do well because you have the course textbooks, your prof posts lectures and other materials on Moodle, your friend gives you their notes etc., this is generally not a good strategy. Research has shown a connection between regular class attendance and good course grades.

How are you? Have you asked a ULethbridge friend that question lately? It’s normal to start to feel a little overwhelmed at this time of year. Now that assignments, research demands, homework, and tests have started to pile up, I encourage you to reach out today to check in with a friend to see how they are doing. Meet for a walk or a tea, play a game of table tennis, work out together, or just sit and talk. Keep it simple. It’ll help you both.

Brrrr… The anticipated cold, wintery weather has finally arrived! Are you prepared? A colleague recently gave some students this advice: Dress like an onion — in layers! That’s my advice to students new to this part of Canada this week. Dressing in three or four layers of clothing, including a good coat, gloves, hat and boots, is the antidote to the freezing temps!

Welcome! Are you rested up and ready to make the best of this term? I encourage you to start the term by recording a video or writing a letter to future you, committing to three goals you’ll accomplish this term. Make sure you include details – describe your goals vividly. Include the ways you’ll know you’ve achieved the goals (make them measurable).
