200 teachers a semester!

The Communications Office believes we all need inspiration these days so we are launching our "Inspired Teaching" series and are open to your suggestions for future features. Paul Wasacz, a teacher of Physical Education, is our first feature.

It might sound like a clich茅, but CEGEP students truly do want to make the world a better place, says Paul.

鈥淭hey want to make a difference and wish to be taken seriously,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey have opinions and thoughts, and they want to be heard. They are industrious and creative and able to find solutions. If you give them ownership and a say, they run with it.鈥�

This is what happens in his Eco-Landscaping course, a popular course he launched in 2022 with support from Richard Montreuil in Physical Education and Chris Adam in the Office of Sustainability. The course was initially proposed by former colleague Anthony Berkers. 鈥淚 was the lucky one who got to teach it,鈥� he said. Previous classes have created the Dawson wetlands, overhauled sections of the Peace Garden, set up a Hugel garden (German for hill or mound), and helped make the First Peoples鈥� Centre Garden.

See students working on the Butterfly Nursery

Second-year students in the Product Design program are working on the Butterfly Nursery this spring! Come see their work in progress from Conrod's (mostly Tuesdays and sometimes Fridays).

They are working on two main things: reducing the sunlight that comes in to lower the temperature inside and they are making work tables.
