UFV associate professor Jelena Brcic watched her research take flight this morning.

Jelena is in Florida today to watch Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk launch for the International Space Station, with C-STARS, her CSA-funded research project, on board.

Once on the International Space Station, C-STARS will collect data on stress, coping, meaningful work, and emotions like gratitude, compassion, and awe during spaceflight. The research could help support astronauts on future missions to the moon and Mars, with insights that could also benefit people working in challenging environments here on earth.

Pretty incredible to see UFV research take flight. 🌍

UFV campuses will be closed tomorrow, September 30, in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

On this day, we honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities who continue to carry the impacts of these histories.

We encourage our community to take time for learning, reflection, relationship-building, and reconciliation, and to consider our individual and collective roles in responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action.

As we continue this work, we are guided by UFV’s value of lets’é ó sqwálewel (unity).

"I was the shyest young person. Theatre changed my life!"

For Kristine Lawson, living life to the fullest has always involved a bit of fear, a bit of risk, and a bit of imposter syndrome.

Overcoming those barriers has led her to the thrills of playing a lead role on stage, rolling down rapids thousands of times on more than 50 rivers as a rafting guide, and choosing to forge a unique path with her anthropology doctorate rather than pursue a conventional academic career.

“Choosing to sit in discomfort and go for it anyway has taken me to many places,” she says.

Kristine’s experiences as a UFV student were life-changing.

Her passion for theatre, sparked during high school, thrived during her two years in the UFV Theatre program. And her journey to a PhD started with anthropology classes here.
