I never thought I'd meet any of the faces I taught through a screen during online learning last year. Who would've thought it took going back to university to make that happen? @ThatHannahAlper it was so nice to actually meet you!
While the walkout was a success, the catalyst for this event was horrific and tragic. This is a call to action -- not just at UWO, but everywhere.
Remember: even one assault is too many.

I’m a 4th year Western student and 3 time orientation leader. This entire O-Week was horrific. I helped lead a predominantly female team. There were multiple instances where myself or other sophs were screamed at, pushed, and touched inappropriately by men. 1/10
Am I hearing this right? High school teachers in York Region have to leave THEIR OWN CLASS to do an on-call and have someone else cover said class while they go cover someone else's??? 🤯
Students at Western University are planning a walkout Friday to demand action against sexual violence on campus amid swirling speculation over assaults at one first-year residence. @CalviatLFPress has more: https://t.co/pYEKlJyK3t #ldnont
Now is the time for the proactive, broad deployment of rapid testing in schools.
Let's identify and isolate cases before they become outbreaks.
Sending home a cohort is much better for kids than closing an entire school.
What I learnt on the Twitter this week:
1. Ontario's Education Minister Stephen Lecce holds press conference in public school classroom to announce in-person classes and school assemblies are perfectly safe but insists media wear masks while asking questions over the phone.
