South African Women for Women honours McMaster physician

South African Women for Women (SAWW) recognized McMaster's Cheryl Levitt on Aug. 8, for her contributions and commitment to improving the lives of others in the field of health. SAWW, a Canadian-based organization, was established in 1997, and provides a forum to celebrate South African Women's Day. On Aug. 9, 1956, 20,000 women from all over South Africa and representing all socio-economic backgrounds marched for freedom. SAWW honours women who serve their communities in education, health, the arts, and liberation movements. The awards are an opportunity to applaud the accomplishments of outstanding women, and also to engage their wisdom, and empower individual and societal progress.

Flintbox sparks commercialization of early stage research

Go ahead. Google 'Flintbox'. Or go to any other Internet search engine and type in the word Flintbox. What pops up on your screen will be a list of results, with one of the first two always directing you to the Flintbox Web site, "an online platform for marketing and licensing the outcomes of research taking place in and around universities." McMaster University has hopped on this platform, poised to bring the outcomes of research taking place here on campus to the boundless market of the World Wide Web.

The time of their lives

Lindsay Tedds is the first to admit that she's different from most graduate students she meets. For starters, she has more than a decade of experience at the federal public service level. Recently she left her job in Ottawa to pursue a PhD in economics, a choice many of her colleagues questioned because of the job security, money, and career success she would leave behind. Tedds moved to an apartment in Hamilton, downscaled her lifestyle, and has committed to full-time studenthood for a condensed three-year period of study. "While I was with the public service I received news that a paper I had published as a master's student won an award, and it helped me to remember that I really enjoy academics and that I'm good at it," says Tedds. "Then my career came to a point where my next promotion would have been to senior management. I'm a researcher, not a manager at heart."

McMaster offers new students a sneak-peek at University life

Making the leap from high school to university can be challenging. To help new students make this transition, McMaster University has invited all first-year students and their families to Welcome Day, Friday, Aug. 6, 2004 on the McMaster campus. Through activities, information, and events, approximately 2,000 students will be welcomed to the McMaster community and begin orienting themselves to what will soon be their new "home." The day-long program includes information sessions on such topics as financial matters, academic success, adapting to university, safety, and living off-campus. New students will also be introduced to the McMaster campus and the Hamilton community through campus walkabouts, building tours, and totally transit tours, which take visitors 'downtown and beyond' on a specially chartered HSR bus.
