Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Civic Engagement (February 2004, June 2009, Sept 2025)

I feel so fortunate to have grown up with parents who instilled a love of reading, news, politics and community engagement into me from a young age. Whether it was my dad reading the Leader Post from front-to-back every evening or my mom’s involvement on the Board of the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses, I have […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Dilbert As A Management Role Model? (With Bonus Donald Trump Reference in 2006?!?)

In “honour” of the death of Scott Adams, I present one of the papers I wrote in library school. This was my Management class and, you won’t be shocked to hear that I had a lot of skepticism about what we were being taught (you’ll be more shocked to learn that management was my highest […]
