Contest called * Legal services corporation looks for name and logo lb mark the establishment of a legal services corporation that will serve the people of the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation (NAN), the interim board of directors has called for a name and logo contest. Cultural nature * ~~ .w•;,-~. December 14, 1989 Wowotoy News 3 Liz Dance, a spokespersoX: for Nishnawbe-Aski Nation's office in Toronto, says the new name and logo should reflect the cultural nature of the corporation, says Dance. . The board is looking for an Indian name "that will (imply) what the corporation is ...That is legal services," she adds. Dance says the board is wide open to suggestions and ideas on the new name and logo that will be representative of the communities the corporation will serve. "It's a Native organization with an all-Native board of directors. We want the name (and logo) to reflect that. We don't want to call it the Legal Services Corporation," says Dance. "It's a big breakthrough for us," she says, adding the interim board wants NAN people to feel they have a sense of ownership in the corporation and that it is not a government agency. Several years ago it was suggested by Native leaders that NAN look into a better way of delivering legal services to their people because present mechanisms in the justice system were poor. The go-ahead to establish t~e legal services corporation was given by Ontario A Horney General Ian Scott July 4. The corporation will eventually provide access to lawyers and establish a community legal worker program and public legal education. The contest is open to anyone in the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation -- both professional and amateur artists -- including elementary and high school students. The logo can be sent to the board in any size and any medium the artist is comfortable working with. Letterhead ._ "The prime function of the logo is to represent the corporation on its letterhead," says Dance. Deadline for entries is January 31. Inquiries can be made to Liz Dance at the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation office in Toronto at (416) 920-2376. Entries can be mailed to: Interim Board of Directors, Nishnawbe-Aski Nation, 14 College Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, MSG 1K2. * �4 • KUSI.N&IJOU by Na.om.i Abotossaway 11a"s 1.

We are delighted that your son/daughter has chosen Lakehead for his/ her university education and hope that, very soon, you too will feel a part of our community. I think you will be pleased with the quality and uniqueness of our academic programs and quickly recognize the benefits of our small and personal university community. No doubt your son/daughter will have personal, quality contact with many of our professors and have easy access to labs and facilities, two factors which are very important for a positive learning experience. As well, our student-centred community environment makes it easy for students to find friends, support, clubs, and activities that will "round out" their university years. As the parent of a university student it may be that you will have some questions and concerns at this time. Are they in the right program? Do they have enough money? What happens if they are sick or need help? Don't be afraid to ask those questions! They are valid concerns and Lakehead University, as a smaller university, prides itself on its student support network. We have many services that are there for the asking and we try to support and guide our students wherever and whenever needed. If you have a concern, please give us call. Following the logic of Dr. Bob Rosehart ( Lakehead President 1985-1997), "university tuition is a bargain; not only does the student benefit, but the parents as well get to live the university experience". We would be pleased to see you take an interest in Lakehead either through participation in our cultural, academic or athletic events or as a volunteer in a variety of capacities. Once again, welcome to one of the best universities in Ontario. We welcome both you and your offspring into the Lakehead family and I invite yg;zd:;_~amic campus anytime! Joy Himmelman Director, Student Services & Community Relations 2 : THERE IS A HELPING HAND AT LAKEHEAD As the parent of a university student, it is almost inevitable that sometime over the next four years you will receive a phone call, visit or letter from an apparently distressed son/daughter. It would not be unusual for your son/daughter to experience any or some of the following: · feeling absolutely overwhelmed by the workload · "I'm in the wrong course/program!" · feeling academically underprepared · feeling homesick- missing family, boy/girlfriends or the stability of "home" · a lack of funds - expenses are so much more than anticipated · a new sense of identity · the loss of an old boy/girlfriend · the excitement and anxieties of forming new friendships and relationships · the big-fish-in-the-little-pond to the little-fish-in-the-big-pond phenomenon. Nor would it be unusual for your son/daughter, in the heat of the moment, to make some impulsive decisions that in the long run may not be in his/her best interest. Hopefully, before doing anything too rash, they will confide in you as a parent and you will be able to offer some support and stability to the situation. Therefore you should know that there are many support services at Lake head and many people who are only too willing to assist, encourage and support your son/daughter. Please take note of the following support services and encourage your student to seek the help of the appropriate professionals when he/she is having some difficulties. J PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 3 �LEARNING ASSISTANCE CENTRE Highly qualified professional tutors and peer tutors provide a prescribed number of tutoring hours free of charge, in almost any subject area required. If additional tutoring hours are required, students are able to continue with the services of a tutor by paying the hourly cost. Encourage your son/daughter to contact the Learning Assistance Centre at the first signs of academic difficulties. (We' re very good, but we can't work miracles the night before the exam!) If your son/daughter has any special needs due to a disability, please contact the Learning Assistance Centre to make arrangements for notetakers, texts on audio tape, extended time for exams, assistive devices or whatever special accommodations are appropriate. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Unless you have just recently had experience with another son/daughter at university, it is very likely that the budgeting done by you and your student for this fall was everybody's "best guess"! It's very difficult to tell ahead of time exactly how much books, transportation, entertainment and living expenses are going to be. Therefore, if agreeable to your son/daughter, you might want to periodically check on the accuracy of your budget estimations and the actual financial situation that is at hand. Sometimes students are too proud and/or independent to divulge their true financial situation to their parents and end up living in unhealthy situations and/or sacrificing their academic year. In most cases, there is some kind of financial assistance available and your son/daughter should definitely pursue possible funding through the Financial Aid Office. Financial Assistance is available in various forms: Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) · the Canada Student Loans Plan/Ontario Student Loans Plan · the Part-time Canada Student Loan and/or Special Opportunity Grant for High need Part-time Students · the Ontario Special Bursary Plan · the Ontario Work Study Plan (a program which offers OSAP-eligible students an opportunity to work part-time on campus) . Bursaries for Students with Disabilities 4 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY OSAP applications are available in the Financial Aid Office which is in the lower level of the Student Centre. If you're not familiar with this program, why not pick up or phone for an application form for information. Your son/daughter may indeed qualify for this assistance. The final deadline for 1997/98 OSAP applications is January 1998. Refer to the 1997/98 OSAP Application and Guide for application deadline information. Scholarships (Undergraduate) · scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement · all entrance scholarships are automatically awarded (no application necessary), unless otherwise noted in the Lakehead University calendar and Entrance Scholarship Brochure/Application. · after the first year, many in-course scholarships are automatically awarded to eligible students; however an application is required for a number of program-specific donor awards. Bursaries · bursaries are awarded on the basis of student need · students must apply for entrance and in-course bursaries · check with the Financial Aid Office for information on application procedures and application forms. Feel free to call one of our financial aid advisors regarding questions specific to your student's/family's financial situation. Be sure to encourage your son/daughter to contact the Financial Aid Office regarding financial concerns. Parents Please Note! As educational expenses rise and more and more of these costs are made the responsibility of the individual student (ie. less government assistance) debt loads creep up extremely quickly! Please discuss with your son/daughter the long-term consequences of significant OSAP loans that over a number of years result in an unmanageable debt load. Students need to know what they are "buying into"!? PARENT HANDBOOK- LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 5 �HEALTH SERVICES All students are entitled to full health care services which are provided five days a w_e~k and three evenings per week. Both male and female physicians offer daily chmcs and students are generally assured of being able to see a doctor on the same day they come into the Health Centre. Our ~urses and physicians regularly work with parents, specialists, lab technicians, physiotherapists and hospitals to coordinate the full health needs of our students. Parents who are concerned about their son's/daughter's health should refer him/her to the Health Centre as soon as possible. The Health Centre staff willingly visits students who are hospitalized and/or confined to Residence. Prescription medications, dental care, and vision needs are often unforeseen expenses and it may be that your son/daughter will require additional funds for these health needs. Please ensure that your son/daughter has an Ontario Health card or another provincial equivalent and that this card is in his/her possession. An Emerge~cy F~rst R~sponse Team of highly trained students, supervised by Health Services, 1s available on a 24 hour basis during the Fall and Winter terms to handle any medical emergencies on campus. COUNSELLING The_ years that your son/daughter spends at university will be full of new, exciting, ~nx1o_us and troublesome times. Pressures to perform and conform, questions of identity, values and goals as well as heartaches and heartbreaks in relationships often ~a use upset and distress for students. As a parent, whether near or far away, you will so~etimes find it difficult to help your son/daughter through these times and you might therefore want to encourage your son/daughter to talk with one of our Counsellors or the Chaplain. Students are often hesitant to seek counselling and may need a gentle nudge from you. Once there, students are usually very glad for the support and guidance that counselling offers. Our counsellors offer personal and career counselling to individuals and, also, seminars in such areas as stress management, study skills, eating disorders, and assertiveness, just to name a few. A counselling and support service for native students is offered through Native Support Services. Parents and students are encouraged to visit the department or contact the counsellor for more information. For international students who may require assistance with adjusting to Canadian life and academia, there is an International Student Advisor on campus. CAMPUS SAFETY & SECURITY Personal safety is a matter of great importance at Lakehead. The University has recently undertaken a variety of initiatives to improve campus safety, including additionalexteriorlighting,thewideningofpathways,theinstallationofemergency phones, to name a few. As well, a Lakehead University Foot Patrol offers a nightly walk-home service from 8 p.m. - 2 a.m. to Residence or to a vehicle in the parking lot. Lakehead prides itself on the fact that we offer a relatively safe and friendly environment in which we live and learn. However, students need to be reminded of the part they themselves have to play in ensuring their own personal safety. For example, students need to be encouraged to lock their doors, to make use of the campus walk-home service, to walk with friends, and to make sure their purses and textbooks are not left unattended. 0MBUDSPERSON Hopefully you will not have cause to use this service; however, should you have a difficulty that seems unsolvable through the regular channels, please feel free to contact Lakehead' s Ombudsperson. Our C~~plaincy welcomes all denominations and tries to insure that the religious an~ spmtual needs of all students are being met either through our own programs or m cooper~tion with other religious groups in Thunder Bay. PastoraVpersonal counselling 1s available on a daily basis and, in time of crisis, on weekends and evenings as well. 6 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 7 �• FACILITIES AND SERVICES AT LAKEHEAD HOUSING/RESIDENCE First-year students, except in very extenuating circumstances, are assigned residence accommodation in our dormitory- style residences. There are 3 dormitory residences, in total housing approximately 700 students. Upper-year and graduate students are most likely assigned to our townhouses which accommodate 430 students in total.

ATHLETICS AND CAMPUS RECREATION The athletics program at Lakehead University is an essential element of the total education program, providing a balance of recreational, club and varsity athletics. The C.J. Sanders Fieldhouse contains a large multi-purpose gymnasium, an auxiliary gymnasium, swimming pool, squash courts, saunas, weight training room, and a sports medicine clinic. Outdoor facilities include tennis courts, numerous playing fields, a hockey rink, and many scenic walking, jogging and cross country ski trails. The tremendous fan support from the student body and the community make every varsity event in the "Thunderdome" a happening. The campus recreation program endeavours to offer our students every opportunity to participate in a wide variety of events including golf, badminton, soccer, volleyball, squash, curling, hockey, basketball, skiing, skating and aerobics. Whether taking a leisurely jog through our beautiful campus or training for national competitions, Lake head is committed to providing an environment that promotes a healthy, active lifestyle for all our students. -·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·8 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 9 �D1v You KNow? • OuRHISTORY Lakehead University evolved from the Lakehead Technical Institute which was established in 1946. In 1956 the Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology was created by an Act of the Ontario Legislature. A year later it moved to its present site, donated by the former City of Port Arthur. The College expanded in response to escalating enrolment. Courses were added to the curriculum and the College was empowered to confer university degrees. The first degrees were granted on May 6, 1965. At convocation '95, Lakehead celebrated its 30th anniversary with the biggest graduating class ever. Interested in more history? The University Bookstore has a copy of A Northern Vision, The Development of Lakehead University co-authored by Dr. Tamblyn, the first president, and Dr. Braun, Principal of Lakehead Technical Institute and College. THE SETTING One of our brochures boasts "we're in the middle of everything!". Located near the geographic centre of Canada, Thunder Bay is a city of 124,400 created in 1970 by the amalgamation of the former cities of Fort William and Port Arthur. The University is nestled in the centre of this vibrant city with a commanding presence on top of Beach Ridge which was once the shore of post-glacial Lake Superior. The meandering McIntyre River flows through the campus with the placid and beautiful Lake Tamblyn forming Lakehead's scenic focal point. ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION The Senate is responsible for the educational policy of the University, and has the power to determine courses of study, standards of admission, and qualifications for degrees and diplomas, and, with approval of the Board insofar as the expenditure of funds and the establishment of facilities are concerned, to create faculties, departments, schools and institutes.

They will leave much different persons than they came. And, like it or not, you're entering this period with your son or daughter. You'll experience the same happiness and defeats, second hand, but just as vividly or achingly. If you don't believe me, ask my Mom. She watched and waited and worried through four years of ups and downs and mediocres. She patiently accepted my progressions and my regressions. She tried, and sometimes failed to understand my way of thinking and doing and being. And, maybe because of her, maybe in spite of her, I left university after four years a much different person than I'd begun - a much happier person. So my advice is: watch and wait and worry and accept and understand. Your children will be happier for your efforts. So will you. Of course, no one can insure that you'll completely survive your child's first year at university, but there are some guidelines that might help you make it with a minimum loss of sanity and a maximum strengthening of your new relationship. The suggestions on the following pages are: · purposely subjective; · written by a just-graduated student who, therefore, thinks she knows everything about university and, therefore, doesn't; · based mostly on careful observations of mistakes and/or breakthroughs made by her parents and the parents of her friends. At most, they'll prepare you to deal effectively with some predictable first year issues. At least, they'll make you think about your reactions to them and that can't hurt. 18 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY ADVICE, INSPIRATION, REFLECTIONS, MYTH DISPELLATIONS AND OTHER WORDS OF WISDOM FOR PARENTS OF SooN-To-BE FIRST-YEAR UNIVERSIIT STUDENTS FROM A FIRST-YEAR STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE Rule #1 - Don't Ask Them if They're Homesick The power of association can be a dangerous thing. (A friend once told me" the idea of being homesick didn't even occur to me, what with all the new things that were going on, until my mom called one of the first weekends and asked 'Are you homesick?' Then it hit me"). The first few days/weeks of school are activity-packed and friend-jammed and the challenge of meeting new people and adjusting to new situations takes the ma_jority of a first-year student's time and concentration. So, unless they' re reminded of it (by a well-meaning parent) they'll probably be able to escape the loneliness and frustration of homesickness. And, even if they don't tell you during those first few weeks, they do miss you. PARENT HANDBOOK- LAKEHEAD UNIVERSl1Y 19 �rt Rule #2 - Write ( Even if They Don't Write Back ) Or Phone, Fax, E-mail Rule #3 - Ask Questions (But Not Too Many) Although first-year students are typically eager to experience all the away-fromhome independence they can in those first weeks, most are still anxious for family ties and the security those ties bring. This surge of independence may be misinterpreted by sensitive parents as rejection, but I'd bet that most new students (although 99% won't ever admit it) would give anything for some news of home and family, however mundane it may seem to you. There's nothing more depressing than the empty mailbox syndrome. (Warning- First-year students are "cool" (or so they think) and have a tendency to resent interference with their newfound lifestyle, but most still desire the security of knowing that someone is still interested in them. Parental curiosity can be obnoxious and alienating or relief-giving and supportive depending on the attitudes of the persons involved. "1-have-a-right-toknow" tinged questions, with ulterior motives or the nag should be avoided. However, honest inquiries and other ''between friends'' communication and discussion will do much to further the parent-student relationship. don't expect a reply to every letter you write. The you-write-one, theywrite-one sequence isn't always followed by university students, so get set for some unanswered correspondence.) The onset of fax and e-mail correspondence could drastically improve your chances of a reply so, if available, why not take advantage of modern technology!? And of course, with today's great long distance phone rates, regular calls from home are much appreciated. 20 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 21 �Rule #4 - Expect Change (But Not Too Much) Rule #5 - Don't Worry (Too Much) About Manic Depressive Phone Calls or Letters Your student will change (either drastically within the first months, slowly over four years or somewhere in between). It's natural, inevitable, and it can be inspiring and beautiful. Often, it's a pain in the neck. University and the experiences associated with it can effect changes in social, vocational and personal behaviour and choices. An up-to-now wall-flower may experience a new popularity, a pre-med student may discover that biology is not her thing after all, or a high school radical may become a university egghead. You can't stop change, you may not ever understand it, but it is within your power (and to everyone's advantage) to accept change. Remember that your son/daughter will be basically the same person that you sent away to school, aside from such interest changes and personality revisions. Don't expect too much, too soon. Maturation is not an instantaneous or over-night process and you might well discover your freshman returning home with some of the habits and hangups, however unsophisticated, that you thought he/she had" grown out of". Be patient. Parenting can be a thankless job, especially during the university years. It's a lot of give and only a little take. Often when troubles become too much for a first-year student to handle (a flunked test, ended relationship and shrunken T-shirt all in one day) the only place to turn, write or dial is home. Often, unfortunately, this is the only time that urge to communicate is felt so strongly, so you never get to hear about the" A" paper, the new boyfriend or the domestic triumph. In these" crisis" times your student can unload trouble or tears and, after the catharsis, return to routine, relieved and lightened, while you inherit the burden of worry. Be patient with those nothing-is-going-right I-hate-this-place phone calls or letters. You' re providing a real service as an advice dispenser, sympathetic ear or punching bag. Granted, it's a service that makes you feel lousy, but it works wonders for a frustrated student. Like I said before, parenting can be a thankless job. 22 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY 23 �Rule #7 - Do Not Tell Your Students That "These Are The Best Years of Their Lives" Rule #6 - Visit (But Not Too Often) Visits by parents (especially when accompanied by shopping sprees and/or dinners out) are another part of the first-year events that students may be reluctant to admit liking, but would appreciate greatly. And, pretended disdain of those visits is just another part of the first year syndrome. These visits give the student a chance to introduce some of the important people in both of his/her now-important worlds (home and school) to each other. Additionally, it's a way for parents to become familiar with (and, hopefully, more understanding of) their student's new activities, commitments and friends. Spur-of-the-moment" surprises" are usually not appreciated. (Preemption of a planned weekend of studying or other activities can have disastrous results). It's usually best to plan a weekend to see your student and the school; that way you may even get to see a clean room. This first year (and the other three as well) can be full of indecisions, insecurities, disappointments, and, most of all, mistakes. It's also full of discovery, inspiration, good times and people but, except in retrospect, it's not the good that stands out. It took a while (and the help of some good friends) for me to realize that I was normal and that my afternoon movie/paperback novel perceptions of what university was all about were inaccurate. It took a while for me to accept that being unhappy, afraid, confused, disliking people and making mistakes were all part of the show, all part of this new reality, all part of growing up. It took a while longer for my parents to accept it. Any parent who believes that all university students get good grades, know what they want to major in, have always activity-packed weekends, thousands of close friends and lead carefree, worry-free lives is wrong. So are the parents that think university-educated means mistake-proof. Parents that perpetrate and insist upon the "best years" stereotype are working against their child's already difficult self-development. Those that accept and understand the highs and lows of their student's reality are providing the support and encouragement where it's needed most. Rule #8 - Trust Them Finding oneself is a difficult enough process without feeling that the people whose opinions you respect most are second-guessing your own second-guessing. One of the most important things my mom ever wrote me in my four years at university was this: "I love you and want for you all the things that make you the happiest; and I guess you, not I, are the one who knows best what those things are''. She wrote that during my final year. If you're smart you'll believe it, mean it, and say it now. 24 PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAD LlNIVERSITY PARENT HANDBOOK - LAKEHEAIJ LlNIVERSITY 25 �C WHo SHOULD You CALL?
