Talk to tackle legacy of the financial crisis

by Sabrina Hutchison.

University of Waterloo Research Talks logo. Many people remember the 2008
global financial crisis, the most recent major recession, but did we learn
anything from it?


On March 27, Faculty of Arts Chair in International Political Economy Eric
Helleiner will discuss the financial crisis and whether it has resulted in
significant changes to global financial governance.


Professor Eric Helleiner. Helleiner's presentation is part of Research
Talks, an initiative hosted by the Office of Research[DEL: :DEL] to
celebrate research at Waterloo and provide an opportunity for staff,
faculty, and students to learn more about the world-changing research
underway.


"It's easy to assume that after experiencing something as severe as the 2008
financial crisis, major transformations in global financial governance would
occur," says Helleiner. "I'm delighted to have the opportunity to be part of
Research Talks and discuss the realities of what has changed so far with the
Waterloo community."


To join Eric on March 27, please register on the [19]Research Talks website.
seating is limited and registration will close when room capacity is
reached.


Waterloo President Feridun Hamdullahpur will open the session. Feel free to
bring your lunch - light refreshments will be provided.

Bud Walker celebration, other notes

"Effective March 31, 2015 Bud Walker will be retiring from the University,"
says a memo from Vice-President, Academic & Provost Ian Orchard. "Since May
1, 2012 he has served as Special Advisor to the Vice-President Academic and
Provost, focusing on a few projects, most notably the University's efforts
in entrepreneurship."
Bud Walker. "Bud's professional University of Waterloo career began in 1971.
The early part of his career was in systems and computing, first as manager
of student information systems and then as director of data processing. He
assumed the post director, business operations in 1996 and this allowed his
true passion for the student experience at Waterloo to flourish. He served
as the first associate provost, students from 2009 to 2012, and then stepped
into an as interim Associate Provost, Human Resources in 2013."
"There will be a celebration of Bud's marvelous career on March 17th at 3:30
p.m. in the Village 1 Great Hall," the provost's memo concludes. "We wish
Bud all the best as he moves onto the next chapter in his life."


Today is St. Patrick's Day, and the City of Waterloo, Waterloo Regional
Police Services, Wilfrid Laurier University, Wilfrid Laurier University
Students' Union, the University of Waterloo, the Federation of Students, and
Region of Waterloo EMS are working together to [24]encourage safer
shenanigans on this green-tinted day. The Student Success Office and the
Federation of Students have participated in a social media messaging
campaign to complement the city's messaging, focusing on:


* Safety as the number one priority - and WRPS will be present to help
keep people safe;
* Respect neighbours, particularly those who may not be as festive as
others; and
* Be an informed community member and know the municipal bylaws that may
affect you.


"The Special Advisor to the President on Women's and Gender Issues and the
FAUW Status of Women and Equity Committee would like to remind you of the
Gender and Equity Scholarship Series event taking place," says a message
from Stephanie Chesser. "Please join us on Monday, March 23 from 11:30 a.m.
to 1:00 p.m. in HH 373 to engage with Dr. Patricia Marino of the Department
of Philosophy as she presents Sexual Objectification and Social Autonomy."


The Gender and Equity Scholarship Series intends to assist not only with the
promotion of gender and equity research currently being conducted at
Waterloo, but also with the creation of networking opportunities for equity
minded individuals on campus. Light refreshments will be served at this
event. Please visit the FAUW's [25]SWEC Gender and Equity Scholarship Series
page to register.


Here's today's Nutrition Month "myth vs. fact" supplied by Health Services
Dietician Sandra Ace:


Myth: "No sugar added" means a food is low in sugar.


Fact: Seeing this label on foods and beverages can entice consumers into
buying products that they think are healthier and lower in sugar. However,
for many "no added sugar" products, the opposite is actually true. As an
example, refrigerated fruit smoothies sold in the dairy case or the produce
section of supermarkets are typically labelled "100% Juice" and "No Sugar
Added." A look at the Ingredient List reveals they are a blend of
concentrated fruit juices and fruit purées. A quick check of the Nutrition
Facts panel tells the real story - a 250 ml/1 cup serving contains 27 grams
of sugar (or more, depending on the brand and variety), the equivalent of
about 7 teaspoons!


The "no sugar added" label typically refers to refined or processed sugar,
not natural sources of sugar. But "natural" sources of sugar such as fruit
juice concentrates or fruit purées are still sugar. It's best to rely on the
Nutrition Facts panel to determine the sugar content of a food or beverage;
also take note of the portion size which is often smaller than what most
people actually use. Health Canada is working on new labelling requirements
that in the future will allow consumers to better identify sources of sugar
in foods. You can read more about the proposed labelling changes as well as
how to use our current food labels to make healthy choices on [26]Health
Canada's website.
