Every year on April 2nd, Autism Acceptance Day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing and supporting autistic individuals. While awareness helps increase understanding, acceptance goes a step further—it challenges stereotypes, reduces stigma, and fosters inclusive environments where autistic people can thrive. This day is an opportunity to celebrate the unique perspectives, strengths, and contributions of autistic individuals while also advocating for meaningful change.

The Dean’s Award for Excellence in Student Leadership

The Dean’s Award for Excellence in Student Leadership recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, volunteer service, and dedication to enhancing the student experience at The College of Social and Applied Human Science (CSAHS), in alignment with our College's mission, vision and values.

Hillary Lo is a fifth-year student in the Applied Human Nutrition (AHN) program at the University of Guelph. Throughout her undergraduate studies, she has been actively involved in research, working with the Guelph Family Health Study to investigate dairy intake among children and its associations with health outcomes. Her passion for advancing maternal and infant health has led her to pursue a PhD in Nutrition after graduation, specializing in breastfeeding support and health equity.

As part of the commitment to fostering a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment within the college and the broader U of G community, the CSAHS EDI Committee has launched the College-wide Indigenization Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (IEDI) Climate Survey. Your unique perspectives and experiences are essential in shaping the future of our community, and all students, staff and faculty are encouraged to participate in this important initiative.
