The School of Public Health at the University of Alberta is pleased to announce a new issue of our newsletter, Healthe-news.


In this issue:


Campaign aims to keep seniors active and independent - What do Nancy Reagan, Pope Benedict XVI and Fidel Castro have in common?
Besides being well known, they are also all seniors who have suffered the serious consequences of a preventable fall. Thousands of seniors fall every year in Alberta, often with devastating results.

Mentoring tomorrow's public health leaders - It takes a whole village to raise a child. The spirit of this ancient African proverb may also apply to the influence of many parties - including family and faculty - who support graduate students as they make their way through academia and transition towards developing full careers in public health. In this journey, the influence of alumni should not be underestimated.

Fall convocation marks new season for grads - Just as the falling leaves on the ground indicate the end of summer, the annual Fall Convocation ceremonies also indicate a change in seasons in the life of students who have completed their studies at the University of Alberta.


University of Alberta professor chosen as Royal College president-elect - Louis Francescutti has been selected as the 41st president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The University of Alberta professor, emergency room physician and crusader for public safety was elected at a council meeting held this week in Ottawa.
