Taryn Dewar, 4th year KI student and varsity athlete, currently at the Ontario University Athletics swimming championships at Brock, qualified last night for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport swimming championships (Feb 20-22 @ U of T).

She qualified in the 200m breaststroke (that's an exhausting event!), and dropped 5+ seconds from her previous best. She's been training especially hard this year, and it sounds like her great work at the Florida training camp at Christmas is really paying off!

Congratulations Taryn!

The new Collaborative Design Specialization offers KI students the opportunity to develop a concentration in design thinking, skills, and practice. 

The idea for the specialization was proposed by KInnovations, a committee of the Knowledge Integration Student Society, and designed -- collaboratively, of course -- by KI students, staff, and faculty.
