Systematic and Scoping Reviews: Systematic Screening using Covidence and Zotero
This workshop will focus on using technical tools, Covidence, to streamline the review process, as well as a reference manager, Zotero, to work with the search results from your structured review to generate in-cite citations and an automated bibliography.
Writing Café for Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Students
A space where you can write without judgment, rest without guilt, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges in their academic journeys.
Drop in to write, meet with a writing advisor, or just enjoy a warm drink and a moment of calm. No pressure, no critique—just a space to be seen, supported, and productive on your own terms.
Write in community – not in isolation.
