Boil Water Order in effect at ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, throughout region

trevor.kenney — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:50:09 +0000

The City of Lethbridge has issued a Boil Water Order. This action does affect those living, working and studying on our Lethbridge campus.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge will remain open with regularly scheduled classes for the duration of this Boil Water Order.

On Wednesday, Mar. 12, the City of Lethbridge declared a local state of emergency due to a critical water storage situation. In response, the City closed its pools and arenas to conserve water. Following the City’s lead, the U of L closed the Max Bell Regional Aquatic Centre and showers in the 1st Choice Savings Centre. The pool will remain closed and showers turned off until the Boil Water Order is lifted.

For additional information on the status of facility re-opening, please look for information here.

The U of L is making arrangements to bring additional bottled water on campus and is taking safety precautions for the duration of this Boil Water Order period. According to the City of Lethbridge, this Order is in effect until further notice and is expected to last several days.

Drinking Water

During the Boil Water Order, students, staff and faculty should not drink water from the fountains or taps and are encouraged to drink boiled or bottled water while on campus. Students living in residence, who have access to a stove, need to follow the Boil Water Order, which is included in a link below.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ is working with suppliers in an effort to ensure bottled water is available on campus during this situation. It is expected that a significant shipment will arrive Friday morning. Availability may be short in the interim though. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to bring their own water with them until the Boil Water Order is lifted.

Washrooms

Washroom facilities at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ are operational. Please do not consume water from the taps.

Food Services

Food Services will be open on campus. Some regular menu items may not be available as adjustments are made to ensure safety of patrons.

Health Services

The U of L’s Health Centre is aware of this situation. Typical illnesses from untreated water can include signs/symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, and fever.

If you or someone you know is SEVERELY ill, please call 911 for an ambulance to transport them to the hospital.

If you are generally ill with symptoms that are manageable, please call the Health Centre at 403-329-2484 ext. 1 and ask to speak with a nurse about your symptoms. If the phone is not answered, please leave your name, phone number, and your symptoms to the confidential voice mail system. The Heath Centre will track illness due to this water event and will return your call to provide health advice on dealing with your illness.

Welcome to the new UNews

trevor.kenney — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:39:26 +0000

The way the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge tells its story to internal and external audiences is being enhanced through a redesign of its online news website.

The second iteration of UNews includes new opportunities for the public to experience the stories that shape the U of L. The use of video, photo galleries, audio interviews and search capabilities to find
U of L expertise are designed to create a more interactive experience for web visitors.

“The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has compelling and important stories to tell,” says Chris Horbachewski, Vice-President Advancement. “The new UNews website celebrates student successes, research achievements, campus life and community linkages using a variety of story-telling vehicles. Communicating effectively with our internal and external audiences is a priority for the U of L and this is an important step forward for the institution.”

The new UNews website allows users to filter their content into streams such as student success, research, campus life, community and athletics. The website allows for direct searches of the Experts Database, features media coverage of U of L research and student successes, and allows for users to search for archived material.

The relaunch of the UNews website is one of a number of changes to the way in which the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ is now communicating with its audiences. In June 2013, the U of L launched the Experts Database, aimed at connecting a variety of stakeholders with U of L researchers. This September marked the end of the printed version of the Legend newspaper. Later this fall, the U of L will launch a new version of the Notice Board, a new research website and revamp its UWeekly product.

“The way we communicate is constantly changing. The addition of digital signage on campus was a good example of that,” says Horbachewski. “What remains constant is our commitment to connecting with our students, employees and faculty members as well as our external communities such as those in industry, government, community organizations, policy making and the general public.”

Internet portal to revolutionize web world

trevor.kenney — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:01:42 +0000

Imagine a world where you sign on to your computer in the morning and have access to every ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ service you currently use online, including all elements of The Bridge, Moodle, e-mail and your personal timetable.

Imagine being greeted with messages that pertain only to you and your position in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, to be linked to your interests and clubs and to be able to customize your personal dashboard to reflect your ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ personality.

That day is coming in the form of the new ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ portal system, and it promises to revolutionize the way in which faculty, staff and students interact online.

"When we first started talking about the portal it came out of the recruitment and retention project," says Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Dr. Andy Hakin. "It was about giving students one electronic gateway to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, allowing them to be able to map out their whole environment in terms of courses, personal timetables, Moodle, e-mail, all of the pieces that should really assist them in navigating through the curriculum and the university experience in one place."

Designed as an aggregator of information, the portal will not replace the systems the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ currently has on the web, rather it will bring them together so that they can be accessed in one space with a single sign-on.

"We already have in place a lot of the elements that will be a part of the portal system but they are all distributed in various places and many of them require separate sign-on," says Hakin. "The idea is that with single sign-on, you have access to all these elements that affect your daily interaction with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ."

What began as a tool to liberate the student web environment and similarly enhance student engagement with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has since grown in scope.

"It has turned into a piece whereby many of the other campus units saw utility in it for themselves," says Hakin. "Everyone who has seen it can see parts of what they want to accomplish with the tool."

Jamie Chinn, a senior business systems analyst and one of the project team leaders, says the focus of the first stage of implementation of the portal is on core needs.

"Right now, the pressing need is to integrate a number of items that are of interest to students and which also would be generally of use to faculty and staff," says Chinn.

"These are what we would call everyday items like access to The Bridge, Banner (the U of L's financial, student, alumni and employee management system) the Library, Moodle (an online courseware program), e-mail, and other services people now make use of, such as frequently-used web links and tabs, a notice board-style page, and our news and information services."

In recent weeks, focus groups consisting of faculty, staff and students have helped shape what content will be going into the portal upon initial launch of the product and then as subsequent updates to the system are integrated.

At the end of the day, the portal can be whatever the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community makes of it, and has the potential to make the web experience much more personal and engaging.

"What I really like about this project is that it was designed with the student element as the focus and it has become clear that it can be utilized in many other ways," says Hakin.

As the portal project moves into the next stages of development, including testing and soft implementation, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community will be continually updated on its progress through UWeekly, the Notice Board and the Legend.

Parking lot work ongoing

trevor.kenney — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:49:49 +0000

Construction on a new entrance into Lot E from Valley Road is almost complete. Once the roadway is open work will continue on the parking areas.

During this phase of construction, the existing north entrance at the lights will be closed, as well as the entire area adjacent to Anderson Hall (Lots E, F, and FS).

Depending on the weather this portion of the project will begin around Thursday, July 5.

Current permit holders will be asked park in the west side of Lot E until the construction is finished at the end of August.

Access will be provided at the existing south entrance at Aperture Drive and the new entrance. A map outlining the access points and parking areas is displayed below.

For more information on this project contact Dick Lutwick at 403-329-2640 or lutwick@uleth.ca.

June 14, 2012

The parking lot redevelopment project was set to begin in early June however, due to recent rains, work on the project was delayed.

Construction on a new entrance into Lot E from Valley Road is now underway, and once the roadway is operational, work will continue on redeveloping the parking areas adjacent to Anderson Hall in Lots E, F, and FS.

Renovations to these lots will include the removal and replacement of existing lighting and plug-in pedestals, new storm water drainage, concrete curbing, sidewalks and paving.

During construction, the existing north entrance will be closed to traffic. Access to Lot E will be provided at Aperture Drive and the new entrance.

Current permit holders will be directed to park in the larger section of Lot E during construction.

The Facilities department will work diligently to provide ample signage across campus and provide regular updates to advising users of pedestrian routes and parking restrictions.

Construction work for 2012 should be substantially completed by Aug. 15 with all work finalized by Aug. 31.

The second phase of construction will happen in the spring of 2013. This phase will see the redevelopment of Lots E and G.

For more information on this project contact Dick Lutwick at 403-329-2640 or lutwick@uleth.ca.

April 4, 2012

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge is embarking on a major parking lot redevelopment project this summer which will enhance the campus environmentally and aesthetically.

Redevelopment of the campus's western parking lots is set to begin this spring; beginning with the creation of a new entranceway at the northwest corner of Lot E.

This is just the beginning of the project that will give a facelift to Lots E, F, FS and G along Anderson Hall and the 1st Choice Savings Centre. The result will be more practical parking and the addition of environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing landscaping.

The $2.5 million project will be developed over two summers, with completion aimed for 2013. Parking access will be provided away from construction while the project is underway. Check the Notice Board and campus digital signage for further parking notices as construction begins.

The revamped design of the parking lots includes bio swales (drainage) and windbreaks, along with improved lighting, security and safety measures for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The design also addresses storm water management and drainage issues to prevent occurrences such as the flooding that took place in July 2008 at the Wellness Centre.

For more information on this project contact Dick Lutwick at 403-329-2640 or lutwick@uleth.ca.

The redevelopment will address traffic flow, pedestrian flow and storm water management issues.

Stairwell work begins

trevor.kenney — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 17:36:25 +0000

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Hall has been undergoing extensive renovations to its fire alarm and fire compartmentalization systems since April in order to meet current Alberta Building Code requirements.

While most of the work will take place in ventilation and service shafts, some work will also occur in stairwells and hallways throughout ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Hall. Noise disruptions and stairwell closures throughout the summer months may present some frustration for users, but the end result will ensure that safety of students, staff, faculty and ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ guests is not compromised should a fire occur.

Starting July 4 and continuing through July 6, the stairwell in Block A will be closed while the contractor removes existing doors and frames. Stairwell access points will be cornered off using removable construction gates. In the event of an emergency or fire alarm, the gates will be rolled aside for public to exit. Signage and detour information will be provided at each access point.

Access to Block A in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Hall can be gained by using the elevator which will remain open, or by using the Block B stairwell to get to the level you need and then walking over to Block A. Work in the stairwells on Levels 4 and 5 in Block A will be performed after hours to maintain access during the day.

From July 2 to 5, ventilation in Blocks D and E will be shut down in the evening hours for renovations, but the system will be restored during the day.

The $2.2 million project includes upgrades to fire stops to existing fire walls in mechanical shafts, stairwells, electrical and janitor rooms; upgrades to smoke separations and safety improvements to five mechanical shafts; and programming of the fire alarm system to align with revised exit strategies. New fire rated doors and frames are also being installed.

Construction on the project began in April with the majority of the work expected to be complete in early September. Some non-disruptive fire stopping work will continue through to November.

Information on construction-related interruptions will be updated on the Notice Board regularly.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Fire Safety Plan, which details procedures for construction closures, is available at www.uleth.ca/security/content/facility-fire-plan.

Meeting of the Minds Conference

trevor.kenney — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:35:28 +0000

What is genetic fingerprinting? Why do bears wear pants? Will a person change their risky behaviour after exposure to frightening information? What is voluntourism, and how can it affect developing countries? Is there a more efficient way to distribute wireless services? Who are the people asking all of these questions, anyway?

Join the best and brightest undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral researchers at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge for a Meeting of the Minds and get answers to these –and more – questions on Saturday, Mar. 10 in Markin Hall.

The Meeting of the Minds Conference, hosted by the U of L Graduate Students' Association and sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies, is geared to bring research to an external community audience, and all presentations are open to the general public and free to attend.

The day concludes with a reception and poster presentation display at 5 p.m., a cocktail dinner and a 7 p.m. talk by pioneering U of L neuroscience researcher Dr. Bryan Kolb.

Meeting of the Minds promises to deliver a surprising and educational day of more than 30 talks and poster presentations which represent the wide variety of research taking place on campus at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral level. This is the sixth annual event of its type on campus.

"It is extremely important as a researcher to be able to present your work in a way that is understandable to an external audience," says spokesperson Samantha Dawson. We are looking at this event as a way to not only explain what we do, but to gain experience in public presentation skills and networking."

With more than 500 people conducting research and taking graduate studies at the U of L, Dawson says the opportunity to learn from each other is also extremely valuable.

"We don't have time to drop into someone else's lab and ask them what they are up to, so our event also gives us a chance to learn even more about what our colleagues are working on," she says. "We hope that this sparks collaboration between people who might not have previously thought of working together."

Dawson says that conference organizers have worked hard to encourage participation from all areas of campus.

"We had people from different faculties review papers – for example, a biological sciences presentation might have been reviewed by someone from fine arts or management, and vice versa. This ensured that there was a good level of external review and requests for clarity. If the reviewer didn't understand it, it was unlikely a broader community audience would understand it."

This year's conference promises to be the largest to date.

"With the Meeting of the Minds theme and external focus, hopefully we will draw more people to campus to learn about graduate studies and the diversity of work taking place here," says Dawson.

For a complete list of presentations, check the Notice Board.

Changes don't have to end with Challenge

trevor.kenney — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:18:59 +0000

The 7th Annual Bee Heart Smart Challenge has concluded for the year and what a successful year we had!

A total of 18 teams (consisting of 165 people plus a number of individual participants) took part and the competition was fierce. Although I tried to get my name on the top-10 stepper list, other, more ambitious steppers quickly bumped me.

Thanks to all who joined in the fun. Watch the Notice Board and the Wellness website (www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness) for challenge winners.

Thank you to all our motivators – Mike Mahon, Nancy Walker, Kevin McFadzen – and although Maureen Mahon was not an official Busy Bee champion, she kept me motivated throughout the challenge. What excellent role models we have here at the
U of L.

Now that we have been physically active for six weeks, how do we maintain the
momentum we've established and keep the motivation up for the rest of the year?

Here are some tips:

Track your own physical activity

Use a calendar in your phone, or on your fridge, to keep track of the number of minutes each day that you are active. Include short bursts of physical activity – even 10 minutes at a time is beneficial – as well as activities such as stretching and yoga. At the end of the month count the total number of days you were active and calculate your percentage of active days.

Compare yourself from month to month and ask yourself, "Was it a good one?" Or could you increase your physical activity level?

Even 10 minutes is fine

Don't feel up to going to the gym, getting on the treadmill or going for a walk?
Try the 10-minute rule. Do an activity for only 10 minutes, and if after 10 minutes you still want to quit, do so. You might just surprise yourself and find you want to continue. Starting is often the hardest part.

Find a buddy

A friend, co-worker, family member or dog can act as a wonderful motivator. Get together to do something physical, even if it is only once per week. Chances are you will increase your activity level during the rest of the week to ensure you can keep up.

Remember to walk

We all have to walk somewhere every day. What we might not realize is that walking is easy on the body, and it burns calories and builds muscle – no fancy equipment required. People who track their progress and realize the benefits of walking are more likely to stay committed to their walking routine.

Challenge yourself

Enroll in a race, or try a different competitive or fun activity. Setting a competitive goal might be all the motivation you need to stay with your fitness plan.

In other Wellness news, Building Healthy Lifestyles will be offering a Festive Feasts Summer BBQ class on Friday, June 24 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. In the class, you will learn about how to make your own marinades, salads and spice mixes, all the while getting to sample some wonderful recipes. Call 403-388-6654 to register for this free workshop.

Heart Smart Challenge nears conclusion

trevor.kenney — Tue, 31 May 2011 16:43:22 +0000

The 7th Annual Bee Heart Smart Challenge is on again, beginning May 1, the program runs through June 13.

The idea is to walk, run, swim, cycle or just be active. Just over a week old, this year's challenge is already off to a great start. One of the twists this time around was the introduction of a Name Your Team contest. Following are some of the best names of the bunch: Anderson Walkers; Bookin' It; Bookmobiles!; Dust Bunny Wranglers; Gong Show; Health Science Heelers; I Can Do Bad All By Myself; KYA; Mahon Tracker; Registrollers; The Wonderous Wellness Walkers; Victorious Secret presents the Markin Chix in Risky Business; Walker's Walkers; WebGeeks.

The goal of the challenge is to promote an increase in activity and improve health through walking, running, swimming, cycling or other physical activity. Establishing a lifelong habit of physical activity doesn't just happen automatically. Making movement a part of everyday life is an intentional act. Let's make the conscious decision to be active everyday – but have fun while doing so!

How do you record your activity?

Walking/Running – Each step you take all day, every day counts. You can either record your distance or your steps. Prizes will be awarded for both.
Swimming – Each 50-metre lap you swim is counted.
Cycling – Cycling is measured either in time cycled or kilometres cycled. You can record one or the other. Again, prizes will be awarded for both.

Time spent performing another physical activity includes examples such as lifting weights, yoga, pilates or hiking, just to name a few.

You can enter your steps, laps, km or minutes weekly or daily on the Bee Heart Smart website (https://www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness/walking/).

If you haven't entered yet, you can enter or join a team at any time during the challenge. Enter as a team or an individual – the Bee Heart Smart site is open now on the Wellness website and Notice Board.

The Anderson Walkers (Katharine Winter, Cindy Matheson and Joyce Eves) are the Early Bird winners for this year (registrants who entered prior to April 21).

We also have some Busy Bee Champions to help keep us motivated. Look for entries from President Mike Mahon (the Mahon Trackers), Vice-President Finance Nancy Walker (Walkers' Walkers), and Kevin McFadzen (KYA) from Sport and Recreation Services (just try to beat his cycling minutes).

Also new to the challenge this year are weekly contests. They are as follows.

Week 2 (May 8-14) – Take the Stairs!
Week 3 (May 15-21) – Walk in the Great Outdoors, with presentations and walks led by the Helen Schuler Nature Centre
Week 4 (May 22-28) – Nutrition for Physical Activity
Week 5 (May 29 to June 4) – Fitness Funnies Contest
Week 6 (June 5-13) – Walk in to Work Out, Park and Walk

The U of L Bookstore, Sport and Recreation Services and AUPE donate prizes for the Bee Heart Smart Challenge. Thanks also to the U of L Wellness Committee.

Quick Facts about physical activity:

• A 30-minute walk burns about 150 calories. If you walked every day for six months, you'd burn off five pounds.

• Physical activity causes the body to use up glucose, thereby helping to keep blood sugar levels in a normal range. This explains why regular exercise is so critical, not only in preventing diabetes, but also in enhancing the health of people already living with the disorder.

• Regular physical activity helps control weight, reduces body fat, improves the body's response to insulin and strengthens the heart, making it one of the best things you can do to support your health.

• With so much time being spent on the job, practicing healthy habits in the workplace has become just as vital to overall health and well-being as living well at home. In order to keep moving on the job, get up to walk and stretch every 20 minutes. Physical activity stimulates blood flow, relaxes muscles and reduces stress.

I hope to see you keeping your heart healthy this year…and having fun while doing so!

Grooming student leaders

trevor.kenney — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:38:54 +0000

There are leaders in every corner of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge campus. From administration to staff and faculty, examples of leadership are prevalent through community involvement initiatives, volunteer experiences and more.

And it does not stop there. ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge students have shown time and again their capacity to engage with the community and to lead the way in fundraising and volunteer projects.

With that in mind, the Recruitment and Student Life office, along with the Students' Union, is offering an opportunity for students to learn more about how to affect change through leadership.

The inaugural ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Leadership Conference is set for Saturday, Apr. 2, giving students the opportunity to attend a series of thought provoking and inspiring sessions, speakers, panels and discussions. The goal of the conference is to provide students with skills, ideas and motivation they can use in all aspects of their lives.

"Several institutions across the country offer an annual leadership conference for their students," says Lukas Neamtu, the co-ordinator of student life programming. "With support and a commitment from the Students' Union and Housing Services, we began to make this a reality. The support from around campus has been overwhelming. Several individuals and offices have jumped on board with session ideas and a willingness to be presenters."

Neamtu says there is an appetite for a conference of this nature, and he sees students wanting to take on leadership roles.

"All around campus we have students getting involved in leadership opportunities in a variety of ways," he says. "Whether it is as a resident assistant, member of the Students' Union, the SU General Assembly, a volunteer organization and so on. This conference, first, provides an opportunity for these students to come together, be inspired and continue developing their leadership skills. Secondly, the conference is a celebration of all of the leaders on this campus and the work they have done."

Two keynote speakers highlight the day, including a talk by Olympic medalist Adam Kreek and the final address from U of L president Mike Mahon.

For a complete list of sessions and how to get involved, check the Notice Board.
