The "Purple Sparkle Award," in loving memory of my sister, Sherri, will be offered this Fall in HKR. Remember, it's not all about grades - perseverance and grit are important life skills you can't get from a book...and be sure to leave a little sparkle wherever you go.đź’śđź’śđź’ś
Time to share this again. Always a good reminder that people have deep, rich and often complex lives of which you know nothing about. Don't rush to judgement.

Serving on the NSERC DG panel this week has me often highlighting good scientific citizens. Success isn’t just papers and funding, it’s reviewing, mentoring, collaborating, organizing conferences, and helping create spaces where strong science can thrive. It matters!
Great session yesterday with the Paradise Minor Hockey coaches about providing effective feedback.
takeaways:
- Bench Behaviour IS Feedback
- Less > More
- Questions > Commands
- Delayed > immediate
- External cues

Student life is not “extra.” Recreation, intramurals, and fitness are essential to student success and retention.
Healthier students = stronger learners = stronger communities.
