School of Optometry
I am a professor at the School of Optometry, Université de Montréal. It's probably not the first place that your students, especially outside of Quebec, would think of looking for graduate school opportunities. Therefore, I am asking for your assistance in spreading the word. Over the last few years, we’ve noticed that students with a background in Kinesiology, Psychology and other related programs are an excellent pool for our concentration in Orientation & Mobility.
The School of Optometry has offered a graduate diploma program in Visual Impairment & Rehabilitation since 2000. Until 2015, this program was only available in French. Since then, we put a lot of effort into upgrading the program to a Masters level. Additionally, Université de Montréal agreed to offer the program in English as well as in French.
Our first cohorts have been very successful and everyone who wanted to work in Vision Rehabilitation is doing so. There are many job opportunities across Canada and the USA, and our students are in high demand.
The application deadline for admission in Fall 2025, is February 1st 2025. I hope that some of your graduating students will be interested in applying. Students wishing to obtain more information about the academic program, internships, and eventual job opportunities should contact me, the program director, or the program assistant.

You and your students may be interested in the information presented in this video clip about the Master's in Vision Rehabilitation.
I thank you in advance for your help and remain available for any inquiries that you or any faculty member in your department may have about our program.

The Undergraduate Research in Natural and Clinical Science and Technology (URNCST) Journal is pleased to announce that our call for abstracts for the thirteenth round of the URNCST Journal Mentored Paper Competition is now open!
In an effort to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to contribute to STEM research literature, we have established our Mentored Paper Initiative. Successfully selected applicants will have the opportunity to be partnered with a graduate student as they write a paper that is of publishable quality in the URNCST Journal. The topic of the paper will be in the graduate student’s area of expertise to allow them to more effectively guide the students throughout the writing process. Students will be mentored from the design stage to write up, and the final paper will be peer-reviewed by another graduate student, to allow the students to experience external-feedback. This opportunity provides undergraduate students the chance to improve their scientific writing skills and go through the entire process of writing an academic paper while working under the supervision of a graduate student.
In our first 13 rounds, we had an outstanding volume of submissions, a competitive fraction of whom was paired with a graduate student mentor and wrote a manuscript. Many of these manuscripts are undergoing peer-review or have already been published as you read this email! With the success that this program has garnered, we anticipate that this 14th round will be no different and invite YOU to submit an abstract before the deadline closes on Sunday, October 27, 2024 @ 11:59PM EST.

Masters of Psychotherapy and Spirituality program (Counselling and Art Therapy streams)
The Master of Psychotherapy and Spirituality (MPS) program is an academic, professional degree that develops spiritually-informed counselors, psychotherapists, and art therapists who are well grounded in the integration of psychological and spiritual knowledge as a holistic foundation for effective therapeutic practice. The MPS degree has been developed in response to an expressed need for formal graduate counselling training that integrates psychology and spirituality.
Prior to 2023, the program could be taken as either a 54-credit Counselling (or Core) stream, or a 66-credit Art Therapy stream. Beginning with 2023 intake, it is expected that both the Counseling and Art Therapy streams will be equally valued at 60 credits.
As with all St. Stephen's programs, the MPS is openly accessible to people from any faith tradition or worldview. The program is offered through a blend of online and in-person courses, and can easily be taken from a distance while residing in Canada.
There will be a free information session held on January 18 at 9 AM MST. Please click here to sign up.
Applications for the 2023 intake are due February 1, 2023. Please visit uab.ca/mps or contact [email protected] for more information.

Professional Development Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities
The VSN runs about an 80 person volunteer program, which provides 24/7 services and support to victims and survivors of crime and tragic circumstances throughout the Niagara Region. Our volunteers dedicate a minimum of two 12 hour shifts a month. While on call for their shift, they may be dispatched on-scene with a partner or asked to provide telephone support to victims. Volunteers may have the chance to work side by side with police and other community agencies such as CARSA or SADV unit.
We are looking to do a new volunteer training class beginning in January and running until April (I have attached all important dates). We are looking for individuals (age 21+) to think about applying to our volunteer position. These volunteers would be trained in the areas of crisis intervention and the ethics of helping, communication, domestic violence, sexual assault, safety planning, sudden death (including suicide and homicide), elder abuse, property crimes, multi-casualty occurrences, as well as the importance of self-care and debriefing.
