SUMMARY:Last Doggo Days
DESCRIPTION:The UWSA brings trained\, loveable\, cuddly dogs to the University on the last Thursday of every month at The Bulman Student Centre. Doggo Days are a reminder for students to take a break during busy school days. Studies have shown that interacting with pets when stressed can reduce tension and lower blood pressure and breathing rates. Doggo Days are a fun way for students to de-stress with their furry friends. \nAll dogs are trained therapy dogs from St.John’s Ambulance. \nDoggo Days dogs are the last Thursday of every month in the Bulman Student Centre from 12-1:30 PM.

SUMMARY:International Transgender Day of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:Each year on March 31\, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people\, while also drawing attention to the poverty\, discrimination\, and violence the community faces. \nInternational TDOV was created in 2010 by trans advocate Rachel Crandall. Crandall\, the head of Transgender Michigan\, created TDOV in response to the overwhelming majority of media stories about transgender people being focused on violence. She hoped to create a day where people could celebrate the lives of transgender people\, while still acknowledging that due to discrimination\, not every trans person can or wants to be visible. \nYou can find more info about the day here: https://glaad.org/tdov/

SUMMARY:International Day of Pink
DESCRIPTION:April 9\, 2025 is the International Day of Pink! \nDiscrimination takes many shapes\, whether it’s based on race\, age\, disabilities\, gender or sexuality. The 2SLGBTQIA+ community is no stranger to the bullying and violence that stems from hateful beliefs. While progress has been made towards removing these social barriers from our society\, discrimination still persists. So\, every year\, on the second Wednesday of April\, we urge people around the world to put on a pink shirt and stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to continue fighting for equality and acceptance. \nFor more info on what you can do please visit: https://www.dayofpink.org/en/home-2023
