Campus

Sinfonia presented an evening of magical orchestral music on Friday, January 13 with a variety of opera, ballet and musical theatre pieces spanning centuries. Along with performances by the entire Sinfonia, there were also selections by the Brass Ensemble and Flute Ensemble.

As of April 30, 2012, Eileen Fallon’s nearly 20-year role as Assistant Dean of Students at Redeemer University-College will be completed. The announcement was made to all RAs and HAs on November 30, 2011.

Eileen Fallon has been an integral member of Redeemer. Her commitment to her Residence and House Advisors has been evident through her service in Student Life.

A series of policy changes affecting student conduct at Redeemer have been given the green light at a recent meeting of the President’s Council in late November. The changes, which focus largely on disciplinary procedures and protocol, were conceived by the Student Life Department and will be printed in next year’s Student Handbook.

My favourite animal of all time has to be the squirrel.  It has taken me a while to pin point why I like the squirrel over some of my other favourite animals such as deer, wolverines, and beavers; but I now feel confident enough to express why this is and how this came to be.

I’ve often felt that Remembrance Day services at Redeemer do a good job of acknowledging the evils of war and their impact on civilians but do a very poor job of thanking the valiant men and women who have fought for our freedoms. I know that for most of the Reformed students and staff at Redeemer, their families have only been in this country for one or two generations, many arriving after the end of the Second World War.

Plan lesson... eat... sleep... teach... breathe... repeat. Waking up in the middle of the night with an idea for a lesson the next day is now a reality for most of us education students, which, along with many other "teacher moments" have given us the opportunity to experience what it really means to eat, sleep, and breathe school.

Greetings,

To the newest members of the Redeemer Community: Congratulations on being accepted to Redeemer University College! I would like to personally welcome you on behalf of the Student Senate of 2011/2012!

What better way to share the unique and diverse experience of the students at Redeemer, than to invite those closest to them to share in it? On Friday, October 14, the brothers and sisters of present students gathered on campus to experience a weekend of life at university. Wide-eyed and expectant, the visitors accompanied their siblings on a campus tour, as they were shown the ropes, introduced to friends, and made feel as though they truly belonged here.
