If you’re considering a job in the government this summer, you should look into the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP) , which allows students to get part-time jobs during the semester or a full-time job during the summer.

Held in Café Alternatif tomorrow at 6 p.m., this seminar will help students with their applications for jobs in the federal service. This workshop is free—it just requires registration by emailing gc.ambassador.uottawa@gmail.com

This is so cute! In an attempt to raise awareness about student debt , the Canadian Federation of Students has created a Mario-esque video game where students jump over obstacles like “apathy” and “student debt,” interjecting facts about tuition fees and loans in between levels. Not sure if it accomplishes awareness about debt, but it sure is cute. Check out the game here.
