This year’s novel is What Strange Paradise\, by Egyptian-Canadian author and journalist\, Omar El Akkad.

He has won numerous journalism awards in addition to the multiple awards he has received for both his debut novel\, American War\, and What Strange Paradise. \n\nSchedule of Events\nSeptember 5-7 (Orientation Week)\, 11 AM – 1 PM\nBring your U of G ID card and pick up a free copy at the Gryphons Read registration tent beside Raithby House by Branion Plaza (while supplies last).

SUMMARY:Orange Shirt Day | Every Child Matters
DESCRIPTION:Started in 2013\, in Williams Lake\, British Columbia\, Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School commemoration and reunion events. Phyllis Webstad shared the memory of her shiny new orange shirt\, bought by her grandmother\, that was taken from her on her first day at the school. \nThe St. Joseph Mission Residential School\, which was open from 1891-1981\, was one of 130 residential schools in Canada. Now the day honours the Survivors\, those who didn’t make it and the families that have been impacted by residential schools. \nThe Orange Shirt Society encourages and supports the commemoration of Orange Shirt Day. \nOrange shirts will be on sale at the U of G Bookstore the week of September 25.  \nIndigenous Initiatives\, the Indigenous Student Centre and the Bookstore have collaborated to bring a unique orange shirt to campus in acknowledgement of Orange Shirt Day. $5 from the sale of each shirt will be donated to the Survivor Secretariat\, an organization that organizes and supports efforts to uncover\, document and share the truth about what happened at the Mohawk Institute during its 140+ years of operation. \nThe design was created by Kaitlin Gallant\, Indigenous graphic designer\, illustrator and beadwork artist. \nIn honour of Residential School Survivors and the children who never returned home\, the shirt depicts a Forget-Me-Not flower surrounded by Sage and Sweetgrass. Sweetgrass braids remind us of our strength when we come together\, and sage supports our healing.

SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was created in 2021 as a federal statutory holiday in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action # 80 which called for a day of commemoration. \nWe call upon the federal government\, in collaboration with Aboriginal peoples\, to establish\, as a statutory holiday\, a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to honour Survivors\, their families\, and communities\, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process. \nThe day serves to honour the Survivors of residential school and the children who never returned home\, as well as their families and communities. \nTo learn more about the progress on the Calls to Action visit Indigenous Watchdog’s website or read Calls to Action Accountability: A 2022 Status Update on Reconciliation\, a special report from the Yellowhead Institute. \n  \nFor a full line up of events\, please visit U of G’s Truth and Reconciliation webpage.

SUMMARY:Tremaine Visiting Speaker's Series with Dr. Jennifer Heemstra: A chemical biology toolbox for probing A-to-I RNA editing
DESCRIPTION:Research Seminar: “A chemical biology toolbox for probing A-to-I RNA editing.”\nRNA undergoes extensive modification through enzymatic post-transcriptional editing events. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread and impactful of these modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). Resulting inosines base pair with cytosine\, essentially re-coding adenosine sites to guanine. Editing is essential for a number of processes including embryogenesis\, neurological function\, and innate cellular immunity. Dysfunctional editing is also linked to auto-immune diseases\, neurological disorders\, and several types of cancer. Despite this importance\, numerous challenges remain for studying A-to-I editing\, and our overall understanding of the locations and frequency of inosine sites remains limited. To address this challenge\, we have repurposed EndoV from an RNA-cleaving enzyme into an RNA-binding protein and demonstrated its use for mapping of A-to-I editing sites and global profiling of RNA inosine content in cells and tissue samples.

SUMMARY:Tremaine Visiting Speaker's Series with Dr. Jennifer Heemstra: Why success is more likely when you’re willing to fail
DESCRIPTION:Mentorship seminar: “Why success is more likely when you’re willing to fail.”\nFailure can be a word that makes us cringe\, yet most of us appreciate its value…at least in some areas of our lives. If we’re playing sports or busy at a hobby and find ourselves faced with a situation where failure is possible (or even likely)\, often we don’t even hesitate before pushing forward and giving it our best try. Think about a soccer player dribbling the ball down the field and suddenly realizing they have an open shot on goal. Failure is possible\, but chances are they take the shot. Being willing to fail can feel easy when we’re having fun and the stakes are low\, but what about when the stakes are high? What about when you feel like your career depends on a certain outcome or result? In many cases\, failure can be objectively bad for your career. However\, being willing to fail can actually make you more likely to succeed. And with the right mindset\, your failure can even be what fuels your biggest success. We’ll dive into the psychology behind why this is and how we can become more open to failure and explore how that applies to research and innovation.

SUMMARY:Tremaine Visiting Speaker's Series with Dr. Jennifer Heemstra: “Navigating the choices that shape your career.”
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture: “Navigating the choices that shape your career.”\nChemistry and other STEM fields can open the door to a wide range of career options\, which then creates the questions such as “how do I choose the best career path for me?” and “what steps should I take if I want to pursue that career?” This talk will outline some key considerations and questions to ask yourself as you think through your future career choices. We will also discuss a variety of different job opportunities in STEM ranging from academia to biotechnology to policy making\, and what it looks like to pursue those.
