“Before learning about Athabasca University, I had given up on my academic career.”

Struggling with learning disabilities, traditional education led to setbacks for Deanna Malanchen. AU's flexible online platform reignited her passion, allowing her to balance work and her studies. And support from Accessibility Services—a team committed to accommodating students with disabilities to ensure they have equitable access to AU's learning environment—was invaluable in helping her overcome obstacles and gain confidence.

Now halfway through her political science degree, Malanchen has leveraged her education to assist small businesses in Alberta with digital transformations. For her, #AthabascaU is not just about obtaining a credential, it's about empowerment and community support.

Here's to the journey ahead for Deanna! LINK IN BIO

March 8 is International Women’s Day, and we are proud to celebrate the inspiring women who contribute to #AthabascaU’s mission, or who have turned to Athabasca University to advance their education, careers, and impact on society.

Today, we are dedicating all our social media channels to feature the stories and work of inspiring women in our community. By celebrating women today—and every day—we hope to empower girls and women of all ages to pursue their dreams in learning, research, service, and beyond. Check out our link in our bio to read more.

Brieann Baldock has spent the last six years supporting students through her role as Accessibility Services advisor. She also inspires as a member of Canada’s Paralympic goalball team.

Natasha Donahue (Bachelor of Science ’21) wanted to be an astrophysicist as a young girl but encountered challenges as a Métis woman, single mother, and a high-school dropout with a learning disability. Today, she is an educator in Edmonton.

Dr. Gina Martin works with teens to better understand how climate change affects their mental health. She notes that young people will experience the impact of climate risks more than any other generation.

By age 16, Celia Koehler (Master of Business Administration ’23) was addicted to crystal meth and living on the streets of Edmonton. Today, she is a mom of two and a successful HR professional.

Do you have trouble adjusting to time changes? It's almost time to "spring forward" on March 10.

#AthabascaU researcher and dean of the Faculty of Health Disciplines Dr. Steven Johnson offers advice for making the adjustment easier on your body.

🌞⏰ Don’t let daylight saving time catch you off guard! Here are some tips to help you adjust smoothly to the upcoming time change:

🛌 Adjust your bedtime and when you wake up: Gradually shift your sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up 15 minutes earlier each day leading up to the time change. This can help your body adapt more easily.

🚫 Prioritize sleep quality: Remember, it's not just about quantity—the quality of your sleep matters too. Create a calming sleep environment and practice relaxation techniques to improve sleep quality.

⏰ Reset your rhythm: Expose yourself to natural light when you wake up to help reset your internal clock. This can help you feel more refreshed and alert.

📉 Be mindful of how sleep affects health: Disruptions in sleep patterns can have various health implications, including an increased risk of cardiovascular incidents and decreased productivity.

Remember, a little preparation goes a long way in helping you adjust to daylight saving time smoothly. Prioritize your sleep and well-being for a happier, healthier transition! LINK IN BIO for full article.
