Whether it\u2019s on campus or around the globe, Gryphons are known for making the world a better place. That\u2019s why it\u2019s not surprising to learn that a giving circle supported by staff and faculty donors is putting caring into action by funding projects that will benefit our students, the campus and our community.<\/p>\n<p>Students, staff and faculty can pitch their project idea (think Dragons\u2019 Den) and apply for funds to help make it a reality. Following panel judging of many novel ideas, the first finalists in 2020 have been chosen. All projects focus on increasing wellness, support and awareness in the U of G community:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A post-doc researcher in the Department of Integrative Biology received funds to support programs that will raise awareness of the LGBTQ+ community at U of G, specifically in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The Queer in STEM: LGBTQ+ Awareness in the Workplace program will help build an LGBTQ+ professional network at the University.<\/li>\n<li>A student wellness program called Mind the Gap received funds for research intended to shorten wait times and reduce no-shows for students who want to see a mental health counsellor. This program was pitched by a physician in Student Health Services and supports a growing body of initiatives on campus that focus on mental health and well-being of our students.<\/li>\n<li>With a plan to decrease stress and improve student well-being, staff members in Student Housing Services won support to build a home-grown therapy dog program at U of G. Students will have more opportunities to reap the therapeutic benefits of time spent with a furry friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about the Gryphons Care program, visit alumni.uoguelph.ca\/
