PERFORMANCE: Reservoirs of quiet
Spencer Krips (BMuHon'19, BEd'21) - Musician
Is music entirely limited to human-developed creations and performances?
To answer this question, we are exploring the connection and equality between human-developed and natural music, immersing the audience in the interaction between performer and natural soundscape. Experience calm, contemplative music combining natural music and response from guitar and keyboard. Notice — or notice again — the beauty of our natural world, and consider the typically one-sided nature of our relationship with our natural world during reservoirs of quiet.
Enriching our pets’ lives
Dr. Linzi Williamson (MA'13, PhD'19) - Assistant Professor, Psychology and Health Studies
Enriching the lives of animals can benefit humans.
The research evidence is clear that companion animals, or pets, can provide many benefits for human mental and physical health. The concept of the human-animal bond suggests that pets can also benefit from relationships with humans. But given the degree of control humans have over their lives and environment, the needs of pets are not always adequately met. By recognizing their sentience, or emotional and cognitive capacities, and meeting their species-specific needs, we can improve the well-being of our pets. In turn, we can enhance our animal-human relationships and bonds.
USask Alumni Love Stories
To celebrate Valentine's Day, we wanted to share the stories of our alumni who met their current partner/future spouse at USask.
We called out to our alumni to share their story for a chance to win a Valentine's Day prize package from alumna-owned Poetica Flower Studio.
Thank you so much to everyone that participated in the fun by sharing their stories. The stories were shared on our social channels on Valentine's Day. We hope you enjoyed reading them as much as we did!
