World class is everywhere, and the Gee-Gees women’s hockey team is strategically pursuing it.
MK Marsden (BSc ’83, former Gee-Gees Women’s hockey player) is a key donor to the Gee-Gees women’s hockey program and aims to empower and inspire every Gee-Gees women’s hockey student-athlete. As an entrepreneur and CEO, Marsden has founded and led technology companies in six different countries and is currently the chief revenue officer at Revscal.
“Great athletes and great leaders come from everywhere. Genius and leadership come from every one of us,” says Marsden. With her support, the Gee-Gees women’s hockey program is taking steps to create an outstanding experience to become an international destination for student-athletes.

With close to a hundred universities in Canada to choose from, here’s what makes uOttawa different.

Learning empathy to resolve core health and social needs
This year, the offices of Social Accountability and Francophone Affairs at the Faculty of Medicine partnered with the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa (ATEHO) to facilitate, for the first time, an experiential learning activity called The Empathy Project. This activity was co-designed by ATEHO and people with lived experience of homelessness.
For two weeks, students experienced a simulated “day-in-the-life” of an individual seeking to meet core health and social needs such as housing, employment, legal aid, food and income support. The volunteers included ATEHO team members, people with lived experience, individuals from the wider Ottawa community and members of the Faculty of Medicine.

Study identifies how the brain handles different types of memory retrieval
Researchers from the University of Ottawa have been studying the shared and unique neural processes that underlie different types of long-term memory.
This international study calls into question a previous theory that characterized general semantic and episodic memory as two distinct systems, instead suggesting that these different types of long-term memory could be viewed as a spectrum that relies on activating the same areas of the brain at differing magnitudes.
