Since 2009, the AHSI has provided support to students from Indigenous communities across the region pursuing careers in health.

Dr. Jacqueline Gahagan, Interim Director of the School of Health and Human Performance, was recently invited to Ottawa to speak before the Parliamentary standing committee on Health regarding Motion 47 - which "examine(s) the public health effects of the ease of access and viewing of online violent and degrading sexually explicit material on children, women and men."

Health Promotion student Nicole Doria is a recipient of a 2017 AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Governors’ Award, the university’s top honour in student life, recognizing her exceptional contributions and leadership in the extracurricular realm.

This year’s Crossroads Interdisciplinary Health Research Conference was a real milestone. The event celebrated its 15th anniversary – making it one of the longest running student-led conferences of its kind - with the largest number of delegates and attendees in its history.

Students from the Faculty of Health Professions were among the exeptional students who were recognized for their service - both on and off campus - at the 6th Annual AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ Student Impact Awards on March 23.

In 2013, the Faculty launched the Employee Milestone Recognition Program. This program recognizes employees with 10 and 20 years of continuous service with the Faculty. This month, we're profiling Dr. Brenda Sabo from the School of Nursing.
