On Tuesday November 24, Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s School of Nursing will launch the Centre for Transformative Nursing and Health Research (CTNHR), the first nursing-led research centre in Atlantic Canada. The mission of the Centre is to undertake collaborative, interprofessional research aimed at transforming health care and improving health and well-being.

On December 1, Â鶹´«Ã½ wil celebrate the opening of the Collaborative Health Education Building - a state of the art interprofessional learning facility for students in Dentistry, Health Professions and Medicine.

Co-authors Dr. Brenda Beagan (School of Occupational Therapy) and Elaine Power (Queens University) are launching "Acquired Tastes: Why Families Eat the Way They Do" here at Â鶹´«Ã½ on Thursday, November 19. The book is the result of a study of families across Canada to determine how gender, class and place influence their food choices. In advance of the launch, we sat down with Dr. Beagan to learn more about the study and it's findings.

Congratulations to our staff, faculty, students, alumni and friends on their recent achievements.

Sometimes finding one's calling takes a few tries, or even a U-turn. That was the case for Jenny Faries, a former Fine Arts graduate now studying in Â鶹´«Ã½'s Clinical Vision Science Program.
