Campus Events

“ The good teacher explains ... the great teacher inspires .”

William Arthur Ward
Open House day , May 9 , 2014 , brought an unexpected number of students to campus . The Student Program Centre staff were busy with program advising sessions , and an Education booth in the EXPO where passers by were invited to participate in a modified board game based on the “ Who ’ s Smarter Than a 5th Grader ” game .
The Student Program Centre ( SPC ) hosted a Student Accessibility Workshop for faculty and staff , presented by the Centre for Student Accessibility on Wednesday , June 11 , 2014 . The workshop explained what the Centre for Student Accessibility does on campus , the duty to accommodate students , and the kinds of disabilities and conditions with which students register . They discussed how to accommodate students and reduce the barriers students face . Accordingly , the Student Program Centre now has qualified students who are able to serve as scribes , readers , proctors , and invigilators to support the students who qualify for accommodation . The SPC office can also manage requests such as separate rooms for exams . Wendy Campbell is the coordinator for these services and can be contacted through email : Wendy . Campbell @ uregina . ca
