On March 7th, ACCESS U is hosting a workshop that is designed to help you become a professional public speaker.
Join us at 7pm in SBE1240 (Schlegel Centre) for one of our most anticipated workshops. Donations are appreciated, and refreshments will be served.
This workshop is an invaluable resource for any Political Science or Business student as it aims to help you portray your ideas in front of a large crowd as efficiently and impressively as possible. You do not want to miss this!
A special thanks goes out to the students of Laurier and the wonderful ACCESS U team. Together we raised $CDN 342 at our event. We have surpassed our goal of raising $USD 250 ($CDN 249). Yes, Canadian dollars are currently worth more than US dollars.
All of the money will be given to ACCESS Charity and then used to sponsor a high school student in Jacmel, Haiti. Well done everyone, we did it!
ACCESS U’s Bake Sale is fast approaching. It will be on February 8th from 11am - 4pm in the Concourse.
Our mission is to sponsor a high-school child in Haiti with all of the donations that we receive. It costs roughly $250USD to put a child through high school for the year. Help support the cause!
It will be a donation-based event, so we’ll accept as little or as big of a donation as you deem appropriate. We’ll be sure to have a lot of variety with our baked goods, so you definitely don’t want to miss this! See you there.
Feel stressed? Need some time to unwind? We have a solution.
ACCESS U will be hosting Power Yoga in the Concourse during the month of December. Sessions will be on each Tuesday in December (7, 14, 21) during two time slots, (11am and 6pm).
The best part about ACCESS U’s Power Yoga is that admission is only $5 and all donations will be going towards providing children in the developing world with an education.
Mats will be provided, but we highly recommend that you bring your own mat if you have one.
Get excited. ACCESS U will be having a School Supply Drive on November 17 & 18th in the Concourse. We’ll have a booth set up from 11am to 5pm on both days for you to drop off any school supplies that you wish to donate. All supplies will be shipped to Haiti in a container provided by the Oakville Rotary Club.
Here’s a list of supplies to bring: Pens & Pencils, Erasers, Notebooks & Pads, Exercise, Books, Newsprint & Foolscap Paper, Dictionaries & Thesauruses (in French), Construction Paper, Scissors, Glue, Rulers, Pencil Crayons, Marking Pens & Felt Pens, Paint Sets & Brushes, School Bags, Chalk and Brushes, Small Chalk Boards, File Folders, Duotangs, Chart Paper & Paper Rolls, Math Sets
We are hoping that these items are either new or gently used. Regardless, we hope to see all of you come out to support the cause!
Linda’s workshop provided the attendees with an understanding of a lot of media-oriented concepts. Although short in attendance, there was a steady flow of feedback and ideas. As Linda says:
“Looking at howsocial media has changed the industry of journalism, the workshop investigates new platforms for communicating and networking, while considering old standards for reporting information and adapting professional behaviours to the web. Although the focus of the workshop will be on the changing face of journalism from its traditional style of news-hour stories to the as-it-happens reports of citizen journalists, the techniques about marketing yourself in this new environment are applicable to any field. Personal projects that will be discussed include microblogging, developing a personal website, how to make personal and professional connections online and getting people’s attention for the right reasons. The workshop will give you ideas on how to explore and utilize the web for your own needs and how to avoid presenting misinformation as well as potential legal consequences.”
Therewill be another workshop on this topic by Linda. More details will follow.
The teachings of these workshops are timeless. Come see what ACCESS U has to offer.
the WLUSU Boardroom. She will be talking about ways for students to get the most out of the city of Waterloo, and how to make a difference.
