Social Science Festival Thanks Volume M25, Issue No. 11, November 2, 2020 Intercom is published regularly and serves to inform Vanier staff and teachers of notices and special events. It is posted on the Vanier College Website and distributed electronically. Submissions should be sent to [email protected]. Submissions should be in WORD, and sent as an attachment. No formatting or bullets. Photos are welcome. Deadline: 4:00 p.m. on the Wednesday preceding the week of publication. Social Science Festival Thanks Our annual Social Science Festival wrapped up last week. It was a week of varied and highly interesting and stimulating presentations (all delivered fully online/virtually, a first of its kind for the Vanier community)! The primary takeaway from the talks was that community (the festival’s theme) could potentially serve as a solidarity building tool; an instrument that can better equip us to face crises effectively and mitigate and/or reverse course on the discord, division and self- centredness that recent social phenomena seems to have contributed to (phenomena such as the Covid19 pandemic; environmental crises; the rise of populism; crises and concerns of social justice and equity faced by women, the destitute, visible minority and Indigenous groups). All talks were recorded and can now be viewed on VTV’s YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm3yY45tybOx6i7PktEiqPdlOnXvsTd_U. A special thanks to the all the people who helped make the event possible: Kelly MacDonald; Melissa Paradis; Angelo Philippas; Alena Perout; Patti Kingsmill; Bruce Norton; Meiji Estrada; David Scharing-Riendeau; David Abraham; Sydney Ong; Azhar Saïdoo; Rebecca Acone; Jennifer Joseph; Carlos Joseph Avila; David Scott; Jacky Vallee; Marlene Grossman; Alyson Jones and the Vanier College Indigenous Studies Certificate Program; Giovanna Arcuri; Marguerite Corriveau; Janelle Villanueva, Nora Soukiassian, Ivanka Hillel and Zsofia Orszagh.

I would like to invite you to participate in the Faculty and Staff for Students Toonie Challenge, supporting students in need. Our Vanier Family shows its commitment to our students on a daily basis by upholding our mission. In fact, many of us go above and beyond, and give back in a number of meaningful ways. You must remember the challenges we all faced during our school years… from finding our classes to finding out where we belonged, and where we were going. Add to that the uncertainty for some of paying for books, food, lodging, and transportation – and you can see where this challenge comes in. True, not every student needs financial assistance – but we’re making sure to help those who come to Jim Atkinson, Vanier's Socio-Economic Officer. This is a toonie challenge, and our goal is 100% participation by faculty and staff. To make it easy for you, we have a few simple ways for you to participate. If you’re at the College, you can drop your toonie off with Janelle Villanueva in F226. If you want to donate via payroll deduction, then click here. And, if you want to donate using a credit card, then simply click here. You have the option to make a one-time donation, or you can opt for monthly payments. All funds help Students In Need. The causes include such things as Student Support (book loan program, financial aid, emergency loans), Academic Support, International Education, Scholarships and Bursaries, and Student-athlete support. Thank you for participating! Atie Waxman, Communications and Corporate Affairs Women of Science Week 2020 Once again this year Vanier is celebrating Women of Science, from Tuesday November 10 to Friday, November 13.

Fast radio bursts are highly energetic radio signals that last a very short time and are currently of mysterious origin. They are an example of a phenomenon that astrophysicists are studying to learn more about the universe. Dr. Kiyoko Gotanda on Wednesday, Nov. 11th@11AM University of Sherbrooke Human influences on adaptation (and how my human self has adapted) The Galápagos Islands are renowned for their unique, endemic biodiversity which inspired Charles Darwin to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection. In particular, Darwin’s finches are an iconic example of adaptive radiation due to natural selection, where ~18 species have evolved from a single, common ancestor.

  • Gretchen King Is a Founding Member of Independent Community
    1/5/2017 Activists challenge Videotron’s community TV service MAtv By Steve Faguy, The Gazette March 24, 2014 Story Photos ( 2 ) Activists challenge Videotron’s community TV service MAtv Gretchen King is a founding member of Independent Community Television (ICTV) Montreal, which has asked the CRTC to replace MaTv as the community television channel carried on Videotron’s cable TV network. Photograph by: Pierre Obendrauf , The Gazette MONTREAL — What was supposed to be a simple, non­controversial request to start up an English­language community television channel is turning into a big problem for Videotron, Quebec’s largest cable television provider. A group of community activists has banded together to file a complaint with the Canadian Radio­television and Telecommunications Commission against Videotron, arguing the company’s existing community channel MAtv is not respecting its mandate to provide community access to television. “We are in fact outraged by Videotron’s long­standing failure to comply with all the CRTC’s expectations and laudable community channel goals, which we believe are crucial requirements for a community channel to build and serve a healthy, diverse, and vibrant community,” the complaint says. The group, calling itself Independent Community TV Montreal, has proposed an alternative: Give ICTV the money that Videotron provides to its community television service, and it will create a channel that provides a real service to the community and properly respects its diversity. Videotron calls ICTV’s claims “false” and “defamatory” and says its channel fully complies with CRTC policy. The broadcast regulator requires large TV providers contribute five per cent of their gross revenues each year to fund Canadian programming through the Canada Media Fund and other independent production funds.

  • Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec's English-Speaking Minority
    Brief to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec’s English-speaking Minority Communities Presented by the Quebec Community Groups Network April 12, 2016 Introduction The Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, is a not-for-profit representative organization. We serve as a centre of evidence-based expertise and collective action. QCGN is focused on strategic issues affecting the development and vitality of Canada’s English linguistic minority communities, to which we collectively refer as the English-speaking community of Quebec. Our 48 members are also not-for-profit community groups. Most provide direct services to community members. Some work regionally, providing broad-based services. Others work across Quebec in specific sectors such as health, and arts and culture. Our members include the Quebec Community Newspaper Association (QCNA). English-speaking Quebec is Canada’s largest official language minority community. A little more than 1 million Quebecers specify English as their first official spoken language. Although 84 per cent of our community lives within the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, more than 210,000 community members live in other Quebec regions. Media Landscape English-speaking Quebecers have consistently signalled that access to information in their own language is both a need and a priority (CHSSN-CROP survey, various years). This may seem a bit of a contradiction in a world awash in English language information through CNN, Time magazine and Hollywood movies galore. The important nuance is that English- speaking Quebecers need information in their own language about their own local and regional communities, something that is increasingly hard to access on a consistent basis in a context of the francization of daily life in Quebec and the demise of traditional community media.

This is an opportunity for those who thrive on such challenges, which requires vision, originality and a commitment to team work. Vanier College has been committed to educating Quebec’s society for over 45 years now. With over 8000 students and approximately 800 employees, it is one of the largest and most multi-ethnic English speaking CEGEP in Quebec. The expectation toward the future DIRECTOR GENERAL is well known: ensure an optimal academic environment. You will pursue the implementation of the Strategic Plan adopted in 2015; encourage and foster program development, particularly in continuing education; develop strategic partnerships with community stakeholders and industries; continue improving communication and transparency both internally and externally; explore new avenues of revenue streams; and develop and implement a succession plan. In order to face these challenges, you will work in collaboration with a dynamic and dedicated team which understands the value of working in a unionized environment. Leading by example, you will be key in maintaining and strengthening the sense of belonging and pride of the Vanier community. Throughout your career you have always demonstrated the utmost respect for students, their teachers and other members of the College staff. Your highly appreciated leadership, your exceptional communication skills both in English and French, your knowledge and credibility within the Quebec education milieu will serve to ensure that Vanier remains an institution offering an education of the highest quality that prepares our students to be active citizens in the future of society.

  • Research Report Perceptions of Diversity in the CEGEP Experience
    Research Report Perceptions of Diversity in the CEGEP Experience: Student Voices Sophia Grabowiecka “I’m just passing through. Being accepted: it’s enough.” Fall 2018 Vanier College Sophia Grabowiecka Vanier College 2 This pilot research project represents a qualitative analysis of formal and informal networks of student integration at Vanier College. The project sought to recognize why students join and / or develop their academic and social networks and comprehend how this relates their sense of belonging within a diverse academic context. Results show that inclusion and exclusion operate simultaneously through student representation and differentiation in the various groups, clubs, networks, and associations on campus. Students seek out networks that meet their needs: self-described immigrant students gravitate towards formal groups to make contacts, whereas students from visible minorities seek out clubs for representation. LGBTQ students tend to find support in informal networks in order to maintain a certain level of invisibility. Indeed, the social functions of identity-based and interest-based student networks reveal themselves to represent cultural comfort zones that foster a sense of belonging that, most often, encourage civic interest and provide potential socio-professional connections for the future.

  • A Symbol Is a Unique Graphic Representation That
    A Style Guide for Visual Representation of Vanier College Communicating Vanier Visually Introduction This document outlines visual standards necessary for representing Vanier College. It describes the community standards and implementation process that will be required to reap the benefits from an official visual representation emblem. The “wordmark” is to be used for any and all communication that represents Vanier, whether internal or external. Since implementation must be professional, various assists and templates are available. Individual departments and services adhering to standards still have plenty of flexibility for creativity and individuality within the framework of the “wordmark” standards. Questions and problems about use and implementation should be addressed to the Vanier Communications & Corporate Affairs Office. Vanier Coat-of-Arms On March 4, 1981, after 3 years and seven months of petition and approval, Letters Patent were received from the College of Arms of Great Britain officially awarding Vanier College armorial bearings (coat-of-arms, crest, badge and flag) based on those of the former Governor General of Canada, General Georges Vanier, for whom Vanier is named. The Vanier motto in Latin „Fiat Voluntas Dei‟ (God‟s Will Be Done), was retained as an integral part of the Vanier College coat-of- arms. In order to emphasize Vanier‟s educational mission, the College of Arms added “a red bordure with three open books” to the coat-of-arms and “two flames of learning” to the crest. Vanier is one of the few cegeps to have officially sanctioned armorial bearings, a point of envy of other institutions. In 1993 Vanier adopted the coat-of-arms complete with Latin motto as the “official graphic logo” for the College.
