Milestone achievement
Sashini Pathirana is the first Memorial University student to successfully defend a thesis in Grenfell Campus’s Boreal Ecosystems and Agricultural Sciences PhD Program. She will receive her doctoral degree on Thursday, May 15, during Grenfell’s convocation ceremonies at the Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre.
Through a Mi’kmaw lens
Memorial’s first sustainability-focused Indigenous course changed Angela Brockway’s educational path. Originally enrolled as a bachelor of business administration undergraduate student at Grenfell Campus, Ms. Brockway says the new graduate-level Mi’kmaw Perspectives on Sustainability course caused her to re-evaluate her degree program.
Practical and creative
Fall graduate Ivan J. White enrolled in the Master of Applied Literary Arts (MALA) Degree Program because he wanted to tell stories. “I found the program aligned with my interest in exploring the collection, creation and telling of story,” said the resident of Flat Bay, N.L., one of two wholly Mi’kmaw communities on the island, the other being Conne River.
International collaboration
Making connections with international researchers and potential students. That’s the aim of fostering closer relationships with Pakistani universities and research organizations, say a Memorial contingent who travelled to the South Asian country in recent months.
Living lab
Involving farmers in research and partnering with experts, including farmers from various disciplines and backgrounds, to tackle a common issue. That’s the mandate behind everything taking place at the Agricultural Climate Solutions Newfoundland and Labrador Living Lab on Newfoundland’s West Coast.
Sealskin scholarship
Building and connecting the community is at the heart of Glenn Gear’s educational approach to using traditional materials in artwork. “It’s a wonderful space in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks can share skills, different techniques and traditions, and have meaningful discussions while creating something,” he said of a recent artist talk and workshop weekend at Grenfell Campus’s art gallery.
Contributing his voice
Avery Velez will receive a master of arts in environmental policy at Grenfell Campus’s convocation ceremonies this week. While that’s enough of an accomplishment for most, the resident of Elmastukwek Ktaqmkuk/Corner Brook is also well into his doctorate in transdisciplinary sustainability. “I started my PhD last September; I was concurrently enrolled in both the MA and PhD for two semesters,” he said.
A moment in time
For a few brief minutes on Monday, April 8, thousands of people across the province of Newfoundland and Labrador stood hushed as an eerie darkness washed over the land. At the apex of the solar eclipse, as the moon blocked out 100 per cent or most of the sun’s light, all faces turned upward to take in the spectacle through protective glasses. Children, parents, grandparents, families and friends all united in the dusky glow of science.
'Open views'
Biking across Europe and capturing the experience by designing a pack of cards may seem incongruous to some, but it’s a perfectly natural combination for Kellyann Henderson. As part of a visual arts research project while at Grenfell Campus, the fall 2023 master of fine arts graduate documented her two-wheeled journey on her website. The project focuses on playing cards and how they are a vehicle for human connection.

Building bridges
Necessity is the mother of invention and from mighty oaks little acorns grow. They are apt metaphors for Memorial’s community hubs, now numbering 17 all around Newfoundland and Labrador. Grenfell Campus and its partners established the Community Hubs Program in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Further consultations throughout rural, remote and northern areas of Newfoundland and Labrador revealed the need for technology-enabled community spaces to be widespread.
Bicycles and beauty
Biking across Europe and capturing the experience in a deck of cards as part of an art project may seem incongruous to some. But it’s a perfectly natural context for Kellyann Henderson, who will collect a master of fine arts degree during convocation ceremonies in Corner Brook on May 18. Choose your adventure Ms. Henderson documented her journey through an “infinite document” — her website — which focuses on playing cards and how they are a vehicle for human connection.

A whale of a summer
The blue whales that washed up on the shores of Bonne Bay in 2014 will be immortalized in a series of works by Grenfell Campus visual arts faculty member Marc Losier. Prof. Losier, who specializes in photography, installation and open practice, says he will apply a new body of artwork using a variety of photographic techniques to represent the story of the Bonne Bay blues.
Geoff Ellis - Bass Coast Post
By Geoff Ellis UP IN the Bass Coast hills the temperature drops rapidly once the sun dips below the ridgelines. Lew Potter’s beanie keeps him warm but there’s not much daylight left and those new-borns need to be in the shed with their mum. Lew picks up a swag of squirming lamb and heads off across the paddock. “C’mon mum, here they are ...” Sheep have bugger all memory so Lew pauses every now and again to remind the ewe what’s in the bag.
