The semester has seen a very busy start.
On Feb. 16, a representative from Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton will be at Wm. E. Hay. All students are welcome to attend the session which will take place during flex time. Students who want additional one-on-one sessions with the representative are able to book an appointment in the office.

On Friday afternoon, a group of 19 Students Against Drinking and Driving (SADD) members, and three advisors met together for a SADD retreat. The group had a great time together getting to know each other better, planning their events for the rest of the year, and discussing the ways that they can be examples as SADD members for their friends and family through our ethics presentation. Keep an eye out for SADD in the community - March and April will be very busy months for them.
