QPHIG Presentation: Building Healthy Policy on Campus,

Tuesday October 30th at 5pm 

New Medical Building Rm 021



Megan Laan, KFL&A Public Health and Cheng Zhou, Engaging Emerging Leaders in Cancer Control

This session will cover the beginnings of KFL&A Public Health’s work on preventing skin cancer with the campus. Megan will cover background information on the topic as well as review some of the actions that have been taken to date to influence policy development on campus. She will review the role of local public health units in health promotion and the findings of several nursing student projects over the past year. Cheng will review the Engaging Emerging Leaders in Cancer Control program and its 5 target areas: healthy eating, physical activity, UVR exposure, tobacco/alcohol/drug use and the HPV vaccine. He will then lead an interactive discussion about what kinds of health issues are important to Queen’s students and what students are seeing and experiencing on campus in relation to these 5 areas? After that, he will review the findings of his research about healthy policy on campus and discuss his recommendations for further action.

 Hey PTs and OTs!

What better way to celebrate the end (or almost end) of first year with a year-end BBQ?

We have reserved the Henderson Room/Patio of the Grad Club at 4:00pm-7:00pm on May 31st. The cost of a burger and salad is $11. Please bring your money to Amy Mendonca (OT) or Julie Crowson (PT) by the end of Monday May 28th. Drinks will be regular price.

We also plan to organize a student/faculty game of some sort in the park (just across from The Grad Club), starting around 4:00pm, depending on the space available. Feel free to bring frisbees, soccer balls, footballs, etc,.

We have all worked extremely hard this year and we think that this BBQ will be a great opportunity to reward ourselves and hang out with everyone before we are all in different locations for the summer. As well, it is definitely something to look forward to in the upcoming weeks of exams!
