Dear Members of the St. Paul’s Community:
I write to inform you of the passing of Helga Mills, who served as Principal of our College from 1994 to 1999.
For many black women, simply walking into a hair salon to get their hair done is not an option. This was the experience that Aileen Agada had in Ottawa while away on a co-op term. It turned out, she had to ask community members where they got their hair done and the same response always happened, “a friend of a friend, of a sister in their basement.”
Vaiva Dzemionas, BSW student, loves music. She’s been playing since she was five years old and was trained in voice as a teen. Vaiva is also a talented composer and enjoys combining her musical skills to create beautiful melodies.

The Social Impact Fund encourages GreenHouse innovators to put their ideas into action.
The Fund is open to current GreenHouse innovators who demonstrate early-stage customer validation or idea testing (i.e. prototype, pilot, market research) and a plan for how they will implement their idea over the coming year.
“It’s not about me,” says Gary Foerster, newly appointed Chair of St. Paul’s Board of Governors. “It’s about St. Paul’s and its exciting future.”
For Foerster, that exciting future is all about the vibrant student community at the College.

When Chelsea Campbell heard a talk at UWaterloo about how technology can be used to for good in society, she had what she calls a ‘light bulb moment.’ The next day, an ad for GreenHouse popped up on her computer, and she knew that this was where she would go.
