The beginning of the fall semester is a busy time for graduate students, both at the Masters and Doctoral levels. Scholarship and award application deadlines, from provincial and federal governing bodies, are placed throughout the semester, beginning as early as the end of September until the start of December. While these application packages can seem intimating, especially for first time applicants, there are some helpful tips that can guide applicants.
Taking place on October 16 each year, World Spine Day highlights the importance of spinal health and well-being, as well as recognizing the burden of spinal pain and disability around the world. KPE’s Olivia Pastore, 3rd year PhD Candidate in the Theories and Interventions in Exercise and Health Psychology (TIE) laboratory, says that this day is important to recognize as an estimated one billion people worldwide suffer from spinal pain.
‘Make mental health & well-being for all a global priority’ is this year’s World Mental Health Day’s (October 10th) main message. While the pandemic has, and continues to, take a toll on our mental health, it is of even greater importance to recognize this day and to seek any opportunity to re-kindle our efforts to protect and improve mental health.
