Tyne Cot Commonwealth War Graves. 12,000 graves. Names of 35,000 more, with no known grave, inscribed on the walls. Most fell at Passchendaele. In person, the reality of McCrae's "crosses row on row" hits hard. #LestWeForget #FlandersFields

This. Why I run #COMM465 as a team- & project-based class using #socialmarketing & #healthpromotion to address student health & social issues. Most students care about themselves & each other, & with support will work to propose solutions that empower & reduce harm. #queensalum

The replies here are interesting. Some suggest their role is education, not emotional support. Fair enough, but as a (fellow woman) colleague told me: a lot of the emotional support needs that end up in our offices result from other colleagues’ approach to educating. Start there?

News like this is the definition of bittersweet. Fantastic, happy, exciting news, Guadalupe Madrigal! Moving on was always the goal, of course, and MU Comm Department is fortunate to be a part of your next stage of awesome. But wow, you’ll be missed.

I ❤️ a good Brownbag talk. Today I was treated to 2. Thanks Jamie Yellowtail (she/her/hers) & Lauren White, MPH, MSW, LLMSW for sharing your excellent and important work about and with Native American communities.

The NCHA results are critical to our learning in #COMM465. If you are invited, please participate!

😂 So true! As a Queen's Psychology grad, I should mock McGill. But University of Waterloo’s regalia (“scarlet” orange & dark green) leaves me no room 2 talk. Luckily, I was gifted a hand-me-down gown with sentimental value. Still looks like Christmas, but in a more tasteful & wearable burgundy.

Once had to learn 🇨🇦 airport codes 4 work. “Weird” YYZ & YUL are newer airports in the outskirts. (Original airports in TO & MTL are YTZ & YMX) TIL the 🇨🇦naming is integrated with other, older, systems—logical, if not terribly intuitive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IATA_airp…

Part 1 of Matea Mustafaj’s work identifying individual-level processes that could limit promise of counter-stereotypical media representations. Media psych theory, with insights from industry studies. Streaming means different stories can be told. Who is watching? #ica22

Next up, Matea Mustafaj presents on games and the well-being of young hospital patients. As you’ll see from slide one, I might be biased towards this one. So y’all should ask questions and provide feedback instead!

Third presentation- Rae Moors presents on Terms of Service and global game distribution.
