Students on Seven updates

Just as you’re starting your week, SOS has some events for you to put
on your calendar:

1) Jan 18, 20 and 21 we have prospective AECD faculty visiting OISE.
They will be speaking about their research in the mornings and there
will be an informal, drop-in lunch with them each of these days. The
lunches will be at 12:45 in Room 7-216 and if you are interested in
going to any of them, email us to RSVP at studentson7@gmail.com. We’re
hoping that around 8 students can attend each one.

2) This Wednesday (Jan 13) we are having a pub night at the Bedford
Academy (36 Prince Arthur Ave). The pub night starts around 8 (see
attached poster). We’ll also be collecting donations for RESULTS
Canada, a SOS community partner whose focus is on empowering
individuals towards creating the political will to end global poverty.
No RSVP necessary, just come and have fun!

3) CP Students: Are you planning on doing a practicum next year? Do
you have questions? On Tuesday January 19 at 11:30am you can get them
answered! We’ll be meeting in the Peace Lounge and a pizza lunch will
be provided. See attached poster for details.

4) In May, OISE will be hosting PsychOUT: A Conference for Organizing
Resistance Against Psychiatry (Bonnie Burstow is our main faculty
contact organizing this event). This is an international conference
providing a forum for psychiatric survivors, mad people, activists,
scholars, students, radical professionals, and artists from around the
world to come together and share experiences of organizing against
psychiatry. On Friday January the 15, the organizing committee is
hosting a fundraising concert at Trinity St. Paul, at 427 Bloor Street
West. The concert is at 7pm, and you can find out more information

Practicum Event.pdf (27 KB)

Hi AECP students,

We’re sorry to be inundating you with messages this week. We in the
SOS core team are students too, and so we understand that you don’t
have the time or energy to be reading extra things all of the time. In
general, we’ll try to limit our messages to one or two a week, rather
than two in twenty-four hours.

But, there’s a lot going on right now, and we want to make sure that
you know about everything that is going on with AECP over the next 2
weeks. If you’re too busy to read this right now, we’ve highlighted
the topics in each paragraph, so you’ll be able to scan and figure out
what’s most important to you.

1) If you are a new student to AECP, today (Wed Jan 6) is your
ORIENTATION. It’s from 4:30-5:30 in the 7th floor Peace Lounge. Terra
and Mark will be there to help ensure that things start off well in
this next step in your academic career.

2) If you keep food in the 7th floor fridge, you need to know that
we’ll be CLEANING OUT THE FRIDGE EVERY FRIDAY at 2. So, if you have
food in there, make sure it’s out by 2 or it’ll be in the garbage.
Sorry, no exceptions.

3) Next week, SOS is having a PUB NIGHT! Wednesday Jan 13 at 8pm,
we’ll have a chance to connect, relax, and get to know each other
better, before things get too busy this semester. Right now, the pub
night is at an undisclosed location, but we’ll let you know more
details when we’re certain.

4) Are you a CP student planning on doing your CP PRACTICUM next year?
Did you attend the session with the placements but still aren’t sure
where you want to go? SOS is having a practicum event with students
and student mentors who have already attended practicums. You will be
able to glean from other students’ experiences with the application
process as well as with the practicum, itself. The event is Tuesday
Jan 19, from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm in the Peace Lounge. See attached
poster for details, including RSVP info.

5) In May, OISE will be hosting PsychOUT: A Conference for Organizing
Resistance Against Psychiatry (Bonnie Burstow is our many faculty
contact organizing this event). This is an international conference
providing a forum for psychiatric survivors, mad people, activists,
scholars, students, radical professionals, and artists from around the
world to come together and share experiences of organizing against
psychiatry. on Friday January the 15, the organizing committee is
hosting a FUNDRAISING CONCERT at Trinity St. Paul, at 427 Bloor Street
West. The concert is at 7pm, and you can find out more information
here: http://www.rabble.ca/comment/1096722/Quote-fundraiser

That’s it for now! Thanks for your patience, and we at SOS hope to see
you at one or more of these events in the next two weeks.

Happy New Year from Students on Seven

Welcome back, and Happy New Year all!

It’s the start of a new year, and a great time to reevaluate your time
commitments for this year. Have you considered getting more involved
with SOS, your student association? For those of us involved, SOS has
been an important part of our time at OISE, as we’ve been able to make
great friendships, professional connections, and learn about a number
of great organizations in the community.

This week alone, there are four ways you can get involved with SOS
right now, and enhance your time at OISE.

1) Tuesday Jan 5 is our next SOS core group meeting. If you’re
interested in helping us plan events over this next semester, please
do come. We meet from 11:30-1 in the Peace Lounge. Don’t worry about
coming late or leaving early if you have class…we all understand.
Pizza lunch is provided!

2) AECP is in the process of hiring faculty and the Chair, Dr. Laiken
wants students to have a part in the selection process. They are
planning to have students be part of informal drop-in lunch sessions
with each Candidate.

The sessions are:
Monday January 18th 2010 – 12:45 – 1:45 pm
Wednesday January 21st 2010 – 12:45 – 1:45 pm
Thursday January 22nd 2010 – 12:45 – 1:45 pm

It’s a great chance to meet prospective faculty, have a window into
the hiring process if your future goals include academic work, and you
also get a free lunch. Likely, the best offer you’ll get all day.
They’re only accepting 8 students for each session, so email quickly
to book.

3) Come check out our website! The SOS website is always growing and
changing, and in the past month we’ve added information about the
current core group:
http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/sos/2009-2010_Core_Group.html and our
community partners
http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/sos/Community_Partners.html. Plus the
“What’s New” blog always has the latest events and activities around
here, http://sosonline.wordpress.com/

4) Finally, if you can’t connect with us in person, then connect with
us online. Become our friend on facebook
(http://www.facebook.com/people/Aecp-Sos/1490123028) or follow us on
Twitter (http://twitter.com/Studentson7), and you’ll never miss out on
what’s going on.

SOS this week – Social tonight and clean out that fridge!

First, a reminder that we have our end of term party tonight. We’ll be
at the Pauper’s Pub in the upstairs lounge from 8-10. See
http://sosonline.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/end-of-term-is-almost-here/
for more details!

Second, the 7th floor fridge will be cleaned on Tuesday morning
(December 15th). If you have any food in the fridge, we need it out by
Monday.

Good news from our friends at RESULTS Canada!

We did it!! Bill C-393 on Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime
legislation passed 2nd reading on Wednesday and is now on its way to
its next test in the Parliamentary Industry Committee. So those
infected with HIV in the developing world may not get their generic
meds from Canada this year, but maybe next!

Meanwhile we need to help the PM set the agenda for the G8 meeting
next year in Muskoka. Wouldn’t improved funding for child and
maternal survival be a fitting legacy for this gabfest? So bring your
passion, pens and maybe a few of your friends to our next
meeting…and in keeping with the season feel free to bring some
holiday treats for the meeting.

Following the meeting, we’ll head over to the Duke of York (39 Prince
Arthur) for some more Christmas Cheer!
