Books have the power to foster empathy by immersin Books have the power to foster empathy by immersing readers in someone else’s point of view. With the Black Lives Matter movement last summer and the rise in anti-Asian hate globally, it’s important that we read and elevate stories written from the perspectives of different races, cultures, and beliefs other than our own. This year, let’s take the opportunity to diversify our reading lists with books written by BIPOC authors. Read the full article by Lily Davies live on the Martlet website.

Starting this summer, UVic will be home to a new h Starting this summer, UVic will be home to a new harm reduction club — @uvicharmreduction . According to its founders Sydney Elarid and Erin Franz, the club aims to bring awareness to the overdose crisis and reduce stigma around drug use. “There’s a lot of myths around harm reduction and a lot of misconceptions,” Franz told the Martlet. “All the stigma is only further contributing to the harm and it motivated me to want to debunk some of that and actually create some awareness so that people can be a bit more educated.” As fifth year Psychology students, Elarid and Franz say the idea to start the club came from learning about the principles of harm reduction in their classes as well as online during their spare time. It very quickly became a passion project. Full story on our website in the lifestyle section. Link in bio!

UVic has closed applications for January intake du UVic has closed applications for January intake due to a high number of applicants. A typical fall term sees about 4 300 new students on campus each year, said Tony Eder, Executive Director of Academic Resource Planning at UVic. “As we emerge from COVID, we have an increase to about 4 800 new undergraduates,” said Eder in a statement to the Martlet. “Given our large fall intake, we’ve decided to limit the number of new students entering in January.” The January term usually only sees 700 to 800 new students. With a larger fall cohort and increased overall enrollments this year, UVic has decided to limit the January intake, said Eder.
