Maximizing Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Staff Satisfaction: Real Possibili...Ryerson Student Affairs
Presentation created by: Dr. Sarah Thompson
Amidst an enduring period of fiscal restraint, there has been a marked increase in routine and crisis cases presenting to Canadian post-secondary counselling centres. Various approaches have been taken to solving this problem including soft and hard session caps, increased time between therapy sessions, increased wait times, and discussions of outsourcing counselling.
This presentation outlined approaches at Ryerson’s Centre for Student Development and Counselling (CSDC) to transforming student development and mental health care. Through a systematic review of structures, staffing, and systems, and through individual and team self-reflection, we are developing, piloting and strengthening our capacities across eight key sub-systems to create an integrated, proactive, and transformative developmental model of interventions that fosters student well-being and health.
Speaking your Language was a project was a tri-institutional partnership between University of Toronto, OCAD University, and Ryerson University. We had a phenomenal working group of international educators, counsellors, and student life colleagues, and were joined by an even more phenomenal group of student volunteers. The intention of the collaboration between the schools was to combine our student populations as well as access to resources as our campuses are quite close.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

5. Graduates In Transition
Transition is the “difficult process of letting go of an old situation, of
suffering the confusing nowhere of in-betweenness, and of launching
forth again in a new situation.”
William Bridges
Change emphasizes what is happening TO us while transition
emphasizes opportunity for growth within

7. Difficulties Transitioning
Between 2008-2013 I had to learn some life lessons the hard way, which made me lose touch
with Jamaica. I let my own personal issue of lacking self-confidence lead to substance abuse,
and it began to take precedent over helping others. I partied much too hard and I recklessly
bumbled my way through Latin America for almost a year. – Ayako Turnball
If I’m being totally honest with you, it hasn’t been an easy transition in to a career in holistic
nutrition, although hard work and consistency does pay off. Initially, I kept my job in the
service industry for a few years after I graduated while pursuing opportunities. On the side, I
combined my love for writing with my passion for nutrition and started writing for healthy
living companies and my own blog, while taking clients. – Brandi Wagner
I quit my job as a researcher and started doing everything I could to prepare myself as a
motorcycle builder. But I was terrified. I hadn’t worked as a tradesperson before, and I hadn’t
yet done much work on motorcycles. I spent the next year volunteering at Habitat for
Humanity, working as an HVAC technician’s assistant, taking welding courses, and working on
my bike. At the beginning of the year I’m pretty sure everyone I know thought I was crazy. –

8. Positives of Transitioning
I spent a few months talking to close friends and family and really reflecting on life and
what was important to me. - Michelle Allenberg
Looking back on it now, I don’t regret anything, for it is said, “I may not have gone where
I intended to go. But I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” I have emerged out
of my darkest years, full of light. I am stronger and more focused than ever before. -
Ayako Turnbull
I finally understood what I needed. For me, it was most important to have autonomy, to
be working on something that I could truly believe in, and to be authentically creative. I
had never truly allowed myself to indulge in all three requirements, for fear that I would
come across as selfish or entitled, and for fear that I couldn’t accomplish what I wanted
on my own. - Brian Kates
It’s hard to believe that it took so much time and resources for me to get to a place I never
should have left. However, because of this journey, I have a deeper understanding and
appreciation of my career and future. - Nathan Scott
9. "What we have to remember is that we can still do anything. We
can change our minds. We can start over. Get a post-bac or try
writing for the first time. The notion that it’s too late to do
anything is comical. It’s hilarious. We’re graduating college. We’re
so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility
because in the end, it’s all we have.“
