I teased it last week and announce it fully today: our fully online graduate certificate in Structured Literacy and Reading Science will begin accepting applications on November 1 for a summer 2023 start! Very happy to be able to announce this in Dyslexia and DLD Awareness month!

On October 27, join us for a presentation and Q&A with Jo-Anne Henry, pictured below, as we celebrate the legacy of her mother Violet King Henry (‘53 LLB). Violet was one of only four women in her class and became the faculty's first Black graduate. (1/2) @UAlbertaAlumni

Many a Western Canadian premier has regretted asking questions like this about changing licence plate slogans. Gary Doer (swap "Friendly Manitoba" with "spirited energy"), Alison Redford (remove "Wild Rose Country") Brad Wall (remove wheat). Symbols are powerful.
Poll of the day: does "Wild Rose Country" tell you anything about the spirit and the people of Alberta?
It's time for an updated license plate slogan. How about:
A) Imagine the Possibilities
B) All that you can dream
C) The spirit of achievement
D) something else....

Popping in to report that you all are amazing. In less than one week, you have donated over $15,000 to the @UANativeStudies faculty in honour of @danjlevy ‘s birthday.
Insert every David Rose gif of shock and love to know how we feel right now.
