Future students

Are you looking into pursuing future studies but not sure where to start?

The Further Education Fair is the perfect opportunity for you! On October 9th, you will be able to speak with representatives about programs and schools you're interested in, from teaching, law, MBA, engineering, health, pharmacy, medicine, social work, college post-degree/certificate programs in Canada and abroad. Centre for Career Development career advisors will also be present to answer questions about career planning and further education.

WISE is pleased to announce a WISE Public Lecture with Jonathan Buonocore. Please join us in person or on Zoom for a discussion on the health co-benefits of renewable energy and climate policy. As the buildout of renewable energy has progressed, health co-benefits assessments have been conducted alongside evaluations of the health benefits resulting from changes in electricity generation. To meet our goal of keeping climate change below 2°C, current strategies under debate include electrifying other uses of fossil fuels—such as transportation and building heating and cooling—while expanding renewable energy to meet this increased electricity demand. This talk will explore recent applications of co-benefits assessments in the electrical grid and climate policy, how these methods are now being extended to buildings and transportation, and why health considerations should be more deeply integrated into energy policy.

As we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic unraveling, artificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom of modernity’s habits: control, mastery, and separation. This talk invites a different question: what is AI revealing about us, and what is collapsing through that revelation?

Drawing on decades of work in educational, decolonial, and post-representational relational inquiry, Vanessa Andreotti explores how Large Language Models (LLMs), when engaged from within an ontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference), rather than the logic of optimization, can become something else: a co-witness to social, ecological, and psychological destabilization, and a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned relationalities.

Canada is at a crossroads facing simultaneous crises in climate resilience, economic productivity, housing affordability and institutional effectiveness. Join Rik Logtenberg, Dirdctor of CanAdapt for an inspiring talk and interactive workshop demonstrating how complexity science, AI, and community-led systems thinking can accelerate CAnada's transition.

Startup 101 is an information session where recent grads in the health care field discuss their journey on how they turned their ideas into health tech ventures.

This event explores the personal journeys of startup founders, with a focus on Tim Lichti, co-founder and CEO of a robotics company. It delves into how he founded his company and the significant shift in perspective that took him from being an art student to developing an entrepreneurial mindset. The session highlights the challenges, turning points, and insights gained throughout his transition and startup journey.

Breanne Jeethan The System is Broken

The System is Broken is a body of work based on the artist's experiences as a worker in the Emergency Department of a hospital. The series represents abstract scenes of the clinical workspace and is a response to the fast-paced, stressful environment that is rife with trauma, high emotions, and anguish. Working between the emergency room and her studio, the artist uses the symbiotic relationship between the two workplaces as a fuel to create her work. By manipulating and distorting found imagery created by various medical technologies, abnormalities in the imagery are created to signal the bureaucratic structures and power imbalances that undermine healthcare. The resulting series speaks to both the artist’s continuous navigating of her state of in-betweenness, but also to the overarching hierarchical nature of the medical system.

Breanne Jeethan (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and healthcare worker based in Mississauga/Toronto, Ontario. Her experience in graphic design has projected her practice in a mix of analog and digital printmaking. Her practice explores themes of the body, medicine, and trauma with the use of internal imagery like X-rays, ultrasound scans, and angiogram brain scans. She has displayed her work at Durham Art Gallery, Durham; Xpace Cultural Centre, Toronto; Northern Contemporary Gallery, Toronto; and Small Arms Inspection Building, Mississauga. She is the recipient of the Sylvia Knight Award in Fine Arts (2025).
