  • 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report
    Cape Breton University Selected Comparison Groups August 2011 Reviewing Your NSSE 2011 Selected Comparison Groups Report The NSSE Institutional Report displays results for each institution alongside three comparison groups which are customizable. In June, your institution was invited to select comparison groups via the "Report Form" on the Institution Interface. This report summarizes how your comparison groups were selected, and lists the institutions within them. NSSE comparison groups may be customized in several ways. Contacts may identify specific institutions from the list of all current-year NSSE participants, compose the group using institutional characteristics, or begin with institutional characteristics, then add or remove specific institutions to refine the comparison group. If an institution does not customize a comparison group, NSSE provides default groups which provide relevant comparisons for most institutions. The default groups are: Comparison Group 1 - For institutions not in a NSSE consortium, this group contains current-year institutions in the same geographic region and sector (public/private). For consortium institutions, it contains results for the other consortium members. Comparison Group 2 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions sharing your institution's Basic Carnegie Classification. Comparison Group 3 - All other current-year U.S. NSSE institutions (Canadian participants are also included in this group for Canadian institutions). The selected comparison group locations in the institutional reports

  • Medical Physics
    FACULTY OF SCIENCE MEDICAL PHYSICS Clinical Medical and Health Physics is an exciting and expanding field that applies our fundamental knowledge of physics to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a variety of human conditions. Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Nuclear Medicine, X-rays, Radiation Therapy, are all branches of medical physics in which continued research is being conducted by a very large group of dedicated researchers consisting of highly qualified physicists, engineers and radiologists. The program at UWinnipeg leads to a Bachelor of Science degree (4-year Honours) and provides excellent preparation for entry into a graduate program, such as the two-year MSc program at the University of Manitoba through the Division of Medical Physics at CancerCare Manitoba. (Currently, the recommended training for medical physicists is a degree at the graduate level.) Many graduates go on to become members of the Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine (CCPM) by passing written examinations. CCPM certification is becoming widely accepted in Canada and other countries and is often required at senior levels in medical physics. Also, please see other related fact sheets: “Physics” and “Computational Physics” SAMPLE CAREERS Most medical physicists work in hospital diagnostic imaging departments, cancer treatment facilities, or hospital-based research establishments, while others work in universities, government, and industry. Here are a few examples of specific positions: clinical medical physicist; radiation safety officer for medical radioisotope facilities; radiotherapy physicist who helps design/construct radiotherapy treatment equipment or who researches the use of heat and lasers in cancer treatment. SAMPLE COURSES Human Anatomy and Physiology: This course deals with the biological study of the human organism; microscopic and gross anatomy; cellular and general physiology, and human genetics.

  • SSHRC Awards $2.5M to Concordia University (Montreal) Based Research Group Working with Museums to Respond to Legacies of Violence and Injustice
    For Immediate Release: July 12, 2021 SSHRC awards $2.5M to Concordia University (Montreal) based research group working with museums to respond to legacies of violence and injustice The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada has awarded the Thinking Through the Museum (TTTM) research network a 7-year, $2.5 million dollar Partnership Grant for the project "Thinking Through the Museum: A Partnership Approach to Curating Difficult Knowledge in Public.'' TTTM brings together international scholars, students, museum professionals, and community representatives from 20 museums, universities, and NGOs in Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, and the USA to work in 5 thematic research groups that amplify perspectives under-represented in the museum world: Critical Race Museology, Museum Queeries, Unsettling and Indigenizing Museology, National Heritage and Traumatic Memory, and Children's Museology. Pressure on museums to work for social justice in light of the Black Lives Matter, Rhodes Must Fall, and #MeToo movements, Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and the COVID-19 and refugee crises, are among the motivations for TTTM’s work. Going beyond traditional academic approaches of arm’s- length criticism, TTTM collaborates across sectors to creatively respond to colonial and other oppressive legacies. The team will work within museum settings to co-produce exhibitions and design tools to challenge elite institutional knowledge systems, and beyond their walls to explore alternative heritage mobilization in festivals, grassroots archives, and site-based curating, where communities can set their own agendas. Concordia University is the Host Institution for the Partnership, which will be based at the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab under the direction of TTTM’s Principal Investigator Dr.

  • Letter from the University of Winnipeg Faculty Association
    The University of Winnipeg Faculty Association 25 May 2021 Ana Serrano, President and Vice-Chancellor Office of the President, OCAD University 100 McCaul St., Toronto, ON, M5T 1W1 Dear President Serrano, I am writing to you today as President of the University of Winnipeg Faculty Association to urge you to reinstate the four librarians who were laid off at OCADU as part of library restructuring. My librarian colleagues here at the University of Winnipeg – invaluable fellow researchers, teachers, contributors to the professional and intellectual life of our institution, and fellow members of our faculty association – brought this issue to my attention. Members of our faculty association are deeply concerned with these changes to OCADU’s library and the ways in which they were implemented. As a union leader, faculty member, and Department Chair at a mid-size, public university, I am aware of the financial pressures that face University administrators. However, I am also aware of the crucial role that librarians play, even more so in this age of myriad digital resources, and the critical role of institutional memory and continuity. Perhaps most importantly, guiding principles of fairness should be behind every decision made at a University, since our institutions gain their privileged position in our society from their commitment to scientific and scholarly knowledge, social and cultural outreach, and equity and justice. Universities must be model employers, organizations, and institutions to retain their position. This means a commitment to justice and equity in all aspects of their operation. I have read your letter on these issues dated 14 May alongside the Care2 Petition and letters from colleagues at other institutions.

  • Central Opening Conference Report MB 2017-2018
    In.Business Central Region Opening Conference November 4, 2017, University of Winnipeg, Winnipeg, Manitoba In.Business: A National Mentorship Program for Indigenous Youth uses social media, mobile technology, Indigenous mentors, and in-person conferences to educate Indigenous high school students about business. In.Business was established in 2011 by the Purdy Crawford Chair in Aboriginal Business Studies at Cape Breton University (CBU). It was a small Nova Scotia pilot initially comprised of 30 students and six mentors. The pilot has since expanded and now operates in five regions across Canada (Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Pacific and Northern). In.Business is made possible by the generous financial support from Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada and various other governments, private, and corporate contributors. The Journey The Central region encompasses Manitoba and Saskatchewan. During August, September, and October, presentations were made at 10 high schools across Winnipeg with 79 applications received. We had 5 returning students and 20 new students for representation from all 10 high schools (shown in the map right) and 15 Indigenous communities. The opening conference, November 4th, was very well attended with 25 students, and 6 mentors. Day 1 Students work on their smart devices, 2017-18 Central Winnipeg Mentors, Students figuring out the order of presenting Meet the mentors! In the morning, students and mentors ate delicious Indigenous-inspired breakfast dishes at the restaurant ‘Feast Café Bistro.’ Feast, for short, is an Indigneous-owned restaurant that is the first restaurant in Winnipeg to cook with Indigenous fusion items on the menu; bannock is an option for toast, squash cakes can be ordered in place of hash browns, among other options.
