"If you want to leave your mark on the history books, you have to do your homework first and genuinely understand the issues you are talking about. Research can be a powerful tool to help you do that." @ufvARTS @goUFV @UFVresearch blogs.ufv.ca/arts/2024/06/2…

Art, to me, is fundamentally about expression: ideas, emotion, and defiance. I think these are similar to the goals of Pride. It's celebration and protest, a way to be seen and change the way people see us, a chance to be us, unapologetically – Sharon Strauss, Artist-In-Residence

Congratulations to CHASI's own, Noah Opmeer, who won an Undergraduate Research Excellence Award from @UFVresearch! Noah's economics work is a foundational piece of CHASI's Career and Learning for Life (CALL). Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition, Noah!
