Soup by numbers ...14 events, hosted by 5 faculties and 9 other campus departments/groups, with teams of approximately 8 per event, that is 112 people as hosts. Then, add in the 15 student volunteers who help set up. 127 people serving soup to (drum roll, please) ... 4161 students last year!
When I also consider the 2 exam chili/daal events, we can add 554 students served good food in a friendly environment at no cost to them.
That's a lot of food building a lot of community spirit!
So it is time to say "Thank you!". These events would not happen without the support of staff and faculty and the attendance of students - that's all of us, doing our part to foster the environment that is safe, inclusive and trusted.
I cannot look back without also looking ahead. As I build the calendar for 2026-2027, please reach out to book your date. A few groups have already asked so if you have date in mind, don't hesitate.

Building Websites with Jekyll and GitHub
June, 23, 25 10:00 am-1:00 pm Atlantic (online)
This 6-hour workshop will teach participants how to create and host static websites using Jekyll and GitHub Pages. Static websites have many benefits, including low cost, faster rendering, easier to backup and preserve, and have far fewer security issues in comparison to popular dynamic platforms. Learners will be guided through writing formatted content with Markdown, configuring GitHub to build and serve pages, building multi-page sites with Jekyll, and customizing layouts. No prior experience with Git or web development is required — only comfort using a web browser — though a basic familiarity with HTML is helpful. This workshop is suitable for anyone looking to build a personal site or project documentation.

• Went the extra mile to make someone’s day better
• Demonstrated our shared values through their actions
We want to hear about it!
For more details on the program, including links to past issues and information about the new submission form, please click here.
