Self-care kits are an increasingly popular form of self-soothing and comfort, “giving you access to a unique collection of items that will make you smile and lift your spirits on an off day” (quote from, and inspiration can be found in Kathleen Danielson’s article: A College Student’s Guide On How To Create An Affordable Self-Care Kit, accessed here).

Come to the Grad House Green Room on March 20^th from 12 – 2 and make your own self-care kit. All supplies provided, no cost! The Green Room is located on the ground floor where the wall is painted green!

While there, hang out with other grad students, SVPRO (the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office), and the GSA.

Everyone who makes a kit will be entered into a draw to win a wellness prize pack, including a colouring book, journal, tea and mug, and a weighted lap blanket!

Time: 10:00 a.m.

A sunrise ceremony will take place at 7:00 a.m. outside of Federation Hall

Sponsored by Engineers Canada, The Decolonizing and Indigenizing Engineering Education Network (DIEEN) is hosting an interactive session where attendees will hear from Indigenous engineers and engineers-to-be from across the country that we now call Canada. Whether in school or the workplace, presenters will recount their journeys in the engineering profession, what support they (want to) receive, and how they make space to be themselves in engineering. This session is a starting point in bridging the gap that seems to exist between students and working professionals in Engineering.

After hearing the stories of each of the speakers, attendees will be invited to join breakout rooms of two of the speakers to participate in talking circles and gather in community.
