In partnership with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, the Wilson Center and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, the One Health Commission is hosting a 'One Health in the U.S.' webinar series.

The first webinar: 'One Health 101: what is all the fuss about?' takes place today; June 30, noon to 1:00 pm and will answer the questions: 1. What do I need to know about One Health?, 2. Why do I need to know it?, 3. Why is it so important?, and 4. What can I do about it?

More information and registration details available here.

A special thank you to the Branding and Creative Services team in Communications and Marketing at the University of Guelph for working with us on the new graphic to compliment our existing logo. We love it and we really think it encapsulates the One Health approach.

One Health Brings Together Graduate Student's Passions

Sometimes, timing is everything.  Graduate student Jamie Goltz learned about the One Health approach just as she was debating whether to pursue her interest in human health or pursue her interest in environmental health. After reaching out to Population Medicine faculty member Dr. Jane Parmley, she realized she could do both.

As a member of the first ever cohort of collaborative specialization in One Health graduate students, Goltz studies with students in an assortment of disciplines and is able incorporate One Health into her research. She is now reviewing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans and works to estimate resistant bacteria exposure in various pathways, such as food production or health care visits.

The One Health Student Committee organized a series of events and activities to help students learn about One Health and its applications.

The initial Exploring One Health series wrapped up at the end of May and was a huge success! There are already plans for it to continue in 2022 and beyond.

In the interim, you can find out more about the 2021 Exploring One Health series, ​​​​​​check out the biographies of the One Health experts who contributed to this year's event, and find out more about the student organizing team.

A big thank you to the OHSC organizing committee for all their hard work on Exploring One Health.

All Canadians have a responsibility to learn about indigenous history and the intergenerational effects of residential schools. We must continue to work toward reconciliation and decolonization.

To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, a collection of novels, children's literature, research and scholarly texts, and memoirs have been curated for the McLaughlin Library by Indigenous Initiatives and the Indigenous Student Centre to highlight Indigenous writers, content and research frameworks.

This month is an opportunity to honour and celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, two-spirit, intersex, asexual and many other identities that fall outside of heterosexual and cisgender paradigms.

The University of Guelph has events and resources available to the LGBTQ2IA+ community.​​​​
