NSSE16 Selected Comparison Groups (CBU).Xlsx NSSE 2016 Selected Comparison Groups Cape Breton University PSIS: 12003000 NSSE 2016 Selected Comparison Groups About This Report Comparison Groups The NSSE Institutional Report displays core survey results for your students alongside those of three comparison groups. In May, your institution was invited to customize these groups via a form on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were constructed and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized by (a) identifying specific institutions from the list of all 2015 and 2016 NSSE participants, (b) composing the group by selecting institutional characteristics, or (c) a combination of these. Institutions that chose not to customize received default groupsa that provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. Institutions that appended additional question sets in the form of topical modules or through consortium participation were also invited to customize comparison groups for those reports. The default for those groups was all other 2015 and 2016 institutions where the questions were administered. Please note: Comparison group details for topical module and consortium reports are documented separately in those reports. Your Students' Comparison Comparison Comparison Report Comparisons Responses Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Comparison groups are located in the institutional reports as illustrated in the mock report at right.

  • Learning from the Moment
    View this email online Learning from the moment February 4, 2021 Colleagues, The employees and students at Laurentian University in Sudbury have been top of mind this week. Laurentian is seeking creditor protection based on what they describe as extreme financial pressures brought on by a wicked combination of declining enrolment, escalating costs, the 2019 tuition freeze and specific expenses related to the pandemic. I’m not in any position to judge the veracity of Laurentian’s claims, but it’s clear that the situation is highly precarious. In that context, I wanted to take time today to reflect on Sheridan’s financial circumstances. It’s also Black History Month, and I want to promote the events our community has organized. Financial stability Black History Month Financial stability Simply: the Laurentian situation underscores why Sheridan has been focused so intently on financial sustainability. In the face of a pandemic, a related global recession and unprecedented changes to how we recruit, teach and retain students – there’s a tremendous imperative to be bold while carefully managing our finances to maintain and enhance the state-of-the-art learning experience Sheridan is known for. As you know, we planned for a “high-impact” budget scenario for 2020-21 that was based on significant enrolment decreases and a resultant $81M decrease in annual Subscribe to our email list. revenue. We took several very difficult steps early in the pandemic to manage costs - - including a hiring freeze, a reduction in discretionary spending and the careful management of part-time salary expenses. We launched a voluntary retirement plan to achieve savings and asked employees to take vacation days to reduce the financial liability associated with accumulated balances (and to promote rest and wellness!).

  • OATA President, Drew Laskoski, Trainer of the Year
    OATA President, Drew Laskoski, Trainer of the Year The Ontario Junior Hockey League today announced that Drew Laskoski of the Newmarket Hurricanes has been named the 2014-15 recipient of the OJHL Trainer-of-the-Year Award. The 52-year old Laskoski has spent the past 28 years plying his trade with York Region junior clubs, dating back to the 1985-86 season when he was the trainer for the Schomberg Cougars Junior 'C' club after graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo. With the Newmarket Flyers of the OPJHL taking a one year hiatus in 1986-87, they returned as the Junior 'B' Newmarket 87's in 1987-88 and with Laskoski as the club's Head Athletic Therapist, starting an on-and- off tenure with the franchise that sees him still in Newmarket today. 140 Allstate Parkway, Suite 302, Markham, Ontario, L3R 5Y8 t:905.946.8080 www.ontarioathletictherapists.org After spending two seasons with the 87's, Laskoski would attain his Diploma in Sports Injury Management from Sheridan College in 1990, while also spending a season as the University of Toronto Varsity Blues' Trainer in 1989-90. That summer, he would partner with Dr. Harvey Pasternak to establish Upper Canada Sports Medicine in Newmarket, Ontario, of which he remains co-owner today. Laskoski returned to the 87's fold in 1991-92 and would remain with the club for six seasons, through their transitional return to the OJHL Junior 'A' ranks and an OJHL/Dudley-Hewitt Cup Championship season in 1995-96 that included a trip to the first-ever Royal Bank Cup that took place in Melfort, Saskatchewan.

  • Knights of Columbus' Good Works Assist Parish and Community
    September 2012 Knights of Columbus’ good works assist parish and community The local councils of the Knights of Columbus (KofC) remain vigilant in providing assistance to those in need while adhering to their Roman Catholic beliefs that are the driving force behind the organization as it continues to grow. “I always recognized it as a great service group within the church, which ties faith to service and service to faith,” says Jack Schreader, a member since 2005 and Grand Knight of the KofC, Bishop N.Z. Lorrain Council 1531 of Pembroke. “It’s a great group of guys.” On October 2, 1881, Father Michael J. McGivney called together a group of men to a church basement in New Haven, Connecticut. At that gathering, a pledge was made to form a fraternal order based on their devotion to their country, families and faith. A life insurance program was established by the founders to provide for widows and orphans of deceased members, which still exists to this day. Those wishing to join the KofC must be 18 years of age and be practicing Roman Catholics in union with the Holy See. Prospective applicants must accept the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, strive to live in accordance with the Our Lady of Guadalupe celebration on January 26, 2012, featuring the Icon and the Knights of Columbus precepts of the Church, and be in good standing in the newly formed choir. Catholic Church. Not unlike the challenges the diocese currently faces in engaging youth to reconnect with their faith, so, recently, a new gathering of Knights is being established “I have a lot of family roots in that area,” explains too, are the KofC encountering hurdles in recruiting in Douglas via St.
