Tuesdays<\/strong> The idea of university is awesome, but it\u2019s not always accessible. The Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group hopes to change that by hosting Fernwood University every Tuesday night starting at 7:30 pm at the Cornerstone Caf\u00e9 (1301 Gladstone). Topics at Fernwood University are generally centered on community building, and are taught by some of the many local, knowledgeable speakers throughout Victoria. And it\u2019s free. Free education! If only colleges and universities were free, too\u2026<\/p>\n Thursday, January 26<\/strong> Donna Burger, director of food services for Aramark at Camosun, now hosts \u201copen doors\u201d once a month in the cafeterias on each campus, the next of which is January 26 at Interurban from 11 am until 12:30 pm at the Urban Diner. The purpose is to share ideas and provide feedback on food services. For more information, email burger@camosun.bc.ca<\/a> or phone 250\u2013370\u20133650.<\/p>\n Friday, January 27<\/strong> Kim Ives, editor of the newspaper Haiti Libert\u00e9<\/em>, will talk about how America conspires against Haiti and what happened to the earthquake relief effort. 7:30 pm at David Strong 103, UVic. See victoriapeacecoalition.wordpress.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n Friday, January 27 until Sunday, January 29<\/strong> For 48 hours straight, UVic is playing host to a game development marathon! Head down to schmooze with industry insiders and work on your own game projects. If you\u2019re a real gaming geek, you can take the challenge to make a complete game within the 48-hour duration of the event. The best time to come by is on Sunday: game development stops at 5 pm and games are showcased. This all takes place on the third floor of the ECS building over at UVic. Email coltonjphillips@gmail.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n Thursday, February 2<\/strong> The Technologies Centre at Interurban is playing host to the Trades & Technology Career Fair 2012 from 9:30 am until 1:30 pm on Thursday, February 2. Employers will be discussing face-to-face recruiting opportunities for cooperative education, internship, graduate, and volunteer positions with trades and technology students and alumni.

Tickets for the two-day festival are a measly $55 in advance\u2014that\u2019s, like, really cheap for that many bands\u2014and passes for the Saturday only are $40. You can buy them at Coastline Sports (1417 Broad) and Higher Ground (760 Yates, in the Odeon Alley). Tickets for this event have always gone like waterlogged hotcakes (that means \u201cfast\u201d), so act fast or be left high and dry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesdays Fernwood University The idea of university is awesome, but it\u2019s not always accessible.
