The Anti-Black Racism Task Force is seeking submissions from local Black artists across Alberta. Submissions should depict or represent Black culture, life, beauty, excellence, struggles or resistance, and include paintings, photography, digital artwork, drawings, sculptures,

and poetry/spoken word. All pieces submitted must be original, created by the artist and not previously submitted elsewhere. Selected pieces will be posted online; three art pieces will be displayed across our three regions (Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge).

Please send submissions to the Anti-Black Racism Task Force Black History Month Committee via Onedrive, by email, or mail.

Faculty of Social Work Mental Health & Addiction Needs Assessment Survey

Guided by the UCalgary Campus Mental Health Strategy (CMHS), The Faculty of Social Work (FSW) Campus Mental Health Committee is conducting a strengths and needs assessment of students, faculty, and staff’s experiences with mental health, mental illness, addiction (problematic substance use or behaviours), and recovery, accessing supports related to these concerns, as well as teaching, learning, or supervisory practices that support or inhibit wellbeing. The purpose of this survey is to help the FSW better implement comprehensive, multi-faceted, and sustainable initiatives to promote wellbeing and academic success for our community.
