The group spent two days at Kelly Lake, near Clinton, in late July, collecting data to learn more about the…Building physical strength and emotional relationships: UFV students guide elders
The sound of the Beach Boys fills the room, bursting from a tiny boombox in the corner. The wheelchairs, about 15 of them, are arranged in a circle with a few gaps. The grey-haired elders all have their eyes fixed upon the circle’s centre — a group of energetic students from the University of the…

Sharing research with students brings joy to UFV chemist
Research brings great joy to UFV chemist Noham Weinberg. “For, me, it is like drinking clean water fresh from the source! And having students working with you, seeing them grow into independent researchers, is an even greater joy. It is what drives me. Their enthusiasm is contagious! “I like teaching in a classroom setting but…Making history: innovative history course puts local stories from WW
A history paper seems like a lot of work, even from an outside perspective.

Even after…
