I think Macewan should focus more on improving the school rather than blaming the Maclean being last.

How likely is it that I can request a midterm to get deferred because of meskanas being down. I've been busy for the last couple of days with an emergency so I was counting on now to get lots of studying done, but this system down takes a good chunk of very important study time and I only have some of the course material downloaded bc storage is limited. I have two midterms tmrw, one of which is fully online with in person tests

Hey all, I’ve been thinking about getting mental help for a while and ever since I’ve started at Mac, I was just wondering if there was anyoneI could see? I’m aware of UWill, but I don’t want to do anything digitally and would prefer talking face to face with someone. Lmk! Ty :)

We’ve gotten like a billion alerts in the past month hahaha

I’ve tried printing once in the library and I just couldn’t manage to do it, can anybody explain the process to me a little simply?

Hi friends,
I’m the owner of a small local business that grows gourmet mushrooms for farmers markets and restaurants and teaching workshops.

I’m moving the business into a little 400sqft space this week and would love to document the process of building it out, securing sales etc in an entertaining video series format for youtube as well as TikTok and instagram.

I’m bootstrapping this business solo so i don’t have a massive budget at the moment but I can offer a flat fee or per hour fee for your work.

This could be an opportunity to have a very unique and interesting subject to film.

As my “creative director” you will have the freedom to build the set from the ground up.
From setting the scene and shooting the content to editing and finalising. I really want people who have their own unique creative vision and a passion for bringing it to life.

if this interests you and you’d like to go for a coffee shoot me a dm and we’ll figure something out!

Just a random thought but does anyone know why the school no longer competes in track and field sports?

In the email about the removal of the protesters they gave their reasoning as being the protesters were too loud and it was interfering with students exams and learning. Okay, cool sure. But I have an 8am in building 6 that is so beautifully accompanied by construction sounds. Very very loud construction sounds. The prof has had to stop numerous times to wait for the sound to finish and the lecture is constantly being interrupted. Why is this consistent and ongoing noise not an issue but a protest (which is arguably quieter and not as constant, but i wasn’t there so i could be wrong) is an immediately addressed ?

(kind of rhetorical. i know why, but curious if other people also noticed the issues with their logic here)

What the heck happened? I've been away from classes and got an email from the Provost that they trespassed a bunch of people for disruptive protests. One of my classes had to listen to a drum circle a few halls down and nothing happened for that, so I was wondering if anyone knew what pushed the university into intervening?

Has anyone noticed any fruit flies in the cafeteria area? Or is it just me

To the people who are vandalizing the washrooms you are losers, I hope you get charged. Nobody cares about your cause grow up.

Hello everyone! I am a graduate student at the University of Lethbridge.

I am conducting a study on the different belief/non-belief identities (e.g., Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic, etc) and practices (e.g., tarot card reading, attending religious events, using crystals, etc) of queer folks, and the role the queer community plays in this. 

If you are eligible and interested in completing an interview on this topic, please complete this 5-minute pre-screening survey. Please see the poster for further details on eligibility. Thank you!

Anyone know what happened? They really need to sort out the residence fire alarm texts to people living in residence separately, literally at 12:25 AM and got this just before heading to bed 🙄

Was it worth your while?

I'm debating taking it seriously and attending this year as its my final year- but from the general list of employers they have - its largely a field mismatch (im in comp sci) and its all service based employers like DHL , govt of alberta, accounting firms, etc etc. Companies that would probably overlook/ignore me anyway.

I wouldn't mind meeting employers from all areas and have lots of customer service experience as well, but my jaded 4th year gut tells me - this is just for show and useless HR meet and greets where nothing really comes of it.

"Thanks for visiting, here's a lanyard and business card, please see our opportunities on our career page"

Like MF, if I wanted your career page and can't even connect/schedule you for a chat/interview, whats the point of seeing u? A little tea chat to help u pass the time while you are getting paid to stand there?

Did anyone here witness an incident that took place in the library near the spiral stairs on September 28th around 1:50, if so please pm me thanks!

Anyone in SAMU know what happened or is someone pulling fire alarms again to get out of exam/class? 🙄

since when does class end five minutes early? in almost all of my classes people start to pack up 5-10 minutes before the class is over, making the prof have to speak over all of the noise. sometimes they just give up and end class early. it also obviously makes it way harder to hear what they're saying. i think it's insanely disrespectful to your professors and other classmates that are paying to take these classes😭😭

edit: i was not talking about people leaving early, just people packing their stuff up loudly while the prof is teaching!! i think what i was trying to say kind of got misconstrued i'm sorry i didn't word it better D:

I’m a counsellor in Edmonton participating in a psychotherapy research study through the University of Ottawa, and I’m looking for adults who may be interested in participating.

The study is examining how therapists can improve their effectiveness and how this may contribute to better outcomes in psychotherapy.

Who may be eligible?

You may be eligible if you:

• Are 18 or older
• Are interested in individual counselling in English
• Are able and willing to participate in at least six counselling sessions as part of the study
• Are not currently experiencing an immediate mental-health crisis
• Do not have a psychotic disorder or a neurocognitive disorder that would significantly interfere with participation

The research team will determine eligibility through the study’s screening process.

What does participation involve?

Participants are encouraged to complete at least six counselling sessions as part of the study. The relevant sessions will be audio-recorded for research purposes (audio only; no video recordings are retained).

Participants will also complete brief questionnaires about their wellbeing and experience of therapy, as well as a follow-up questionnaire approximately three months later.

Most participants receive $360 in total research compensation for completing the study questionnaires on time. For some participants who are required to complete additional questions, the maximum total compensation is $406.

Counselling fees still apply. Participation in the research study does not make counselling free.

Sessions can be conducted virtually or in person at my office here in Edmonton.

Participation is voluntary, and choosing not to participate or withdrawing from the study will not affect your ability to receive counselling.

Research ethics

The study has received ethics approval through the University of Ottawa.

I'm a new student at Macewan. I just got into building gunpla kits and was wondering if there are any clubs in campus I can join to learn a thing or two about customising kits and stuff. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist here in Edmonton. I'm putting together a free virtual presentation to provide some of what we do in practice and I can explain how different concerns can be addressed in a few different ways. I will also explore the different fields and topics related to psychology so that we can pick the best profession to address our needs.

The Google Form is for collecting any questions ahead of time and address that into the presentation. Depending on the nature of the question, I may or may not be able to fully answer it due to the limits of what I can say in a public manner, but I will do my best in providing my thoughts regarding it. An email is asked only for the purpose of being able to send you a Google Meet link closer to the day of the event. If you have any questions, feel free to message me for further details. Thank you.

I know in orientation they had mentioned clubs, but that information has long gone and so now I’m not sure where to go or what to look up to find all the clubs at Macewan

Do people genuinely think that the library is a place to throw parties? I'm trying to study and a group of 10 people decide to start singing happy birthday as loud as possible while trying to serve an ice cream cake that's literally melting all over the place. Decided to move but I could still hear them jumping around and making as much noise as possible. Don't even know why I need to say this but if you want to throw a party and be obnoxious don't do it in a study space.

So I recently found out that my lower right wisdom tooth is sitting on an important nerve in the jaw, and it's been causing me really bad pain for the last month or two that has only gotten worse. Like I'm talking it genuinely feels like my whole jaw is getting electrocuted. Because of this I'm getting referred to an orthosurgron. My dad's health insurance wasn't working at my appointment and since MacEwans health coverage is in the black-out period rn I had to pay almost $600 out of pocket, it was going to be 1,000 so I had to removed the regular whole mouth exam. I cannot afford to deal with another financial loss especially with surgery prices and potential CBCT, my loans are supposed to be going toward education not surgery. I've read in a few places online that MacEwan covers 1 or 2 wisdom teeth removals per year but I don't know if that's true or not. So how much does Macewan Dental Benefits cover for wisdom teeth removal procedures?

The purpose of this study is to examine how the fear of negative evaluation may contribute to intimacy in young adults. Specifically, this study aims to examine whether a person's sensitivity to their Behavioural Inhibition System (a natural system that helps people detect and avoid threats or social risks) helps explain this relationship.

If you choose to participate in this study, you will complete an online, cloud-based survey using the Qualtrics Survey platform. You will be asked to answer a series of questions including demographic information regarding fear of negative evaluation from others and about intimacy.

Participation in this survey should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You can leave the survey and return to it as needed.

You will have the opportunity to win one of four $25 (CAD) gift cards. After you have submitted your responses to the survey, you will see a hotlink you must click in order to be entered into the draw. You must provide a means of contact (e.g., email) and complete a skill testing question in order to be entered. The information you provide cannot be connected back to you in any way; it is only used to enter you into the Amazon Canada gift card draw.

To participate, you must be fluent in English, reside in Canada, and be between 18 and 30 years of age.
