BLACK
LIVES
MATTER

As designers committed to decolonizing our practices, we feel that it is important for us to help amplify Black voices that have historically been underrepresented within our discipline. We are using this site as a public platform in support of Black Lives Matter within our communities and beyond. We ask that you take some time alongside looking at our work, to explore these collected resources.

Thought of Home

First year post-secondary students can potentially be struggling with feelings of homesickness and loneliness. Students studying abroad or away from home may feel a sense of loss with their new surroundings at school as they can experience negative symptoms related to homesickness, which makes it difficult for individuals to have a good learning experience. Homesickness is overlooked and considered to be a minor issue, but it can be a huge obstacle for first-year students attending post-secondary school.
