day.<\/p>\n<p>For her achievement, Manzo received a $100 NCSAC gift card and NC swag.<\/p>\n<p>Manzo shared that participating in the challenge was a rewarding opportunity to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and contribute to a meaningful cause.<\/p>\n<p>“It was so fun to be part of this and contribute to a good cause at the same time,” said Manzo.<\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather, Manzo spent time exploring the scenic trails surrounding NC’s Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, including the Laura Secord Trail and Bruce Trail.<\/p>\n<p>“We were so fortunate with the weather we had during the week of the Step Challenge and so lucky to have beautiful trails around this campus to walk around and get our steps in,” she said. “I was able to enjoy the sounds of birds just waking up, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Finches, so much beauty at our fingertips right here on campus.”<\/p>\n<p>The Step Challenge was one of several fundraising initiatives organized through the 2026 NC Cares in a United Way workplace campaign.

Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, <em>RESET: A Student Wellbeing Conference<\/em> brought students together for a day of hands-on activities, creative exploration and meaningful connection, discovering new ways to support their mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its fourth year, RESET, which stands for Reflect, Engage, Support, Empower and Thrive, encourages students to prioritize their wellbeing while discovering practical strategies they can incorporate into their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day, students chose from a diverse lineup of interactive workshops led by NC faculty, staff, alumni and external wellness professionals, each bringing their own expertise and perspectives on wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>“RESET is an opportunity for students to step away from the demands of their academic lives, connect with others and discover new ways to support their mental health and wellbeing,” said Ali Weir, Director, Student Community Development. “What makes this conference so special is the involvement of our College community, with faculty, staff and alumni sharing their knowledge, skills and experiences to help students prioritize their wellbeing both inside and outside the classroom.”<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1701317\" style=\"width: 427px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1701317\" class=\"wp-image-1701317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker.webp 733w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker-480x360.webp 480w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker-128x96.webp 128w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker-180x135.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/icebreaker-720x540.webp 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1701317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students kicked off the fall RESET Conference with an interactive icebreaker that encouraged them to meet new people, share fun facts and build connections with their peers.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Wellbeing through creativity and connection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The day began with an interactive icebreaker that encouraged students to meet new people and build connections before exploring a variety of workshops focused on creativity, movement and mindfulness.<\/p>\n<p>At NC’s Teaching Greenhouse, students enjoyed a guided tour as part of the <em>Teaching Greenhouse Tour & Succulent Planting Workshop<\/em>, where they learned about hydroponic vegetable production and the diverse plants grown on campus. They also had the opportunity to select, transplant and learn to care for their own succulents to take home.<\/p>\n<p>Movement was another highlight of the day. NC Recreation Therapy alumna Frida Rocio Zebadua Vera (2024) returned to facilitate <em>VIBREN (Latin Dance & DROM)<\/em>, an energizing workshop that combined Latin-inspired rhythms, drumsticks, exercise balls and breathing exercises. Students explored how music and movement can help release stress, improve focus and foster a sense of connection.<\/p>\n<p>In another session, <em>Calming, Centering, Mental Clarity: Modern Use of Ancient Labyrinths<\/em>, facilitated by NC staff member Renate Giesbrecht, students explored mindfulness through finger tracing, walking a floor labyrinth, breathing exercises and reflective journaling. The activities encouraged participants to slow down, refocus and discover techniques for managing stress.<\/p>\n<p>Students also had the opportunity to participate in eight additional breakout workshops, including <em>Sensory Mindfulness with Tea<\/em>, <em>The Whole-Body Reset<\/em>, <em>Moss & Mindfulness<\/em>, <em>Debugging Stress<\/em>, <em>Sound Meditation<\/em>, <em>Forest Therapy<\/em>, <em>Planning for Peace of Mind<\/em>, and <em>RESET Through Movement<\/em>, each offering different approaches to supporting mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style

Libraries and Learning Centres (LLC) team offered students a creative break in the Saundra Patterson Wellness Lounge through two hands-on activities showcasing resources available through The Exploratory Makerspace.<\/p>\n<p>Led by Siscoe Boschman, Library Facilitator and Sheri Waldie, Library Technician, students had the opportunity to learn how to knit a reusable coffee mug sleeve or design a personalized study mug. The activities encouraged participants to step away from their screens, explore their creativity and learn new skills in a relaxed environment.<\/p>\n<p>“Creative, hands-on activities can provide students with a valuable opportunity to take a break from academic pressures and focus on something enjoyable and rewarding,” said Boschman. “Activities such as knitting and drawing encourage participants to slow down, be present, and engage in a mindful experience away from their usual responsibilities.”<\/p>\n<p>Beyond introducing students to the creative tools and resources available through The Exploratory, the LLC’s involvement demonstrated how different areas of the College can contribute to initiatives that support student wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>“Initiatives like the RESET Conference are most impactful when the entire College community comes together to support student well-being,” said Boschman. “When students see different departments participating, it reinforces the message that student success and mental health are shared priorities across the institution, and that support is available in many forms.”<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1701322\" style=\"width: 467px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1701322\" class=\"wp-image-1701322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"457\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199.webp 733w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199-480x360.webp 480w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199-128x96.webp 128w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199-180x135.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/IMG_3199-720x540.webp 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1701322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students explored their creativity by learning to knit or designing personalized study mugs during a hands-on activity led by NC’s Library and Learning Centres team in the Saundra Patterson Wellness Lounge.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>A College-wide approach to student wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conference also highlighted the important role that faculty, staff, alumni and departments across NC can play in supporting student wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>From sharing professional expertise and personal interests to introducing students to campus resources, facilitators brought a range of experiences and perspectives to the conference, demonstrating how wellbeing can be supported in many different ways.<\/p>\n<p>The LLC’s participation is one example of how different areas of the College can contribute to initiatives like RESET, creating opportunities for students to connect with the broader campus community while developing new skills and approaches to self-care.<\/p>\n<p>With the next RESET Conference planned for the Winter term at the Welland Campus, NC’s Student Engagement team is encouraging more faculty, staff and departments to get involved by sharing their skills, interests and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the NC community interested in facilitating a session or learning more about opportunities to participate in future conferences are encouraged to contact <a href=\"mailto:studentengagement@niagaracollege.ca\"><strong>studentengagement@niagaracollege.ca<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From hands-on creative workshops and mindfulness exercises to movement and music, Niagara College students stepped away from their usual routines to discover new ways to support their mental health and wellbeing at the fall term RESET Conference.

for ending gender-based violence in Niagara.<\/p>\n<p>On the morning of Tuesday, November 3, NC staff, students and volunteers gathered at Market Square St. Catharines for the annual Gillian’s Place Wrapped in Courage Pancake Breakfast in support of Gillian’s Place. Led by the Community Relations and Events team, alongside Benchmark and the School of Culinary Arts, NC volunteers ran the griddles to kick off Woman Abuse Prevention Month, keeping alive a college tradition that spans more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p>“Gillian’s Place once again extends an abundance of appreciation for Niagara College’s support of our work to end gender-based violence in Niagara. As November marks Woman Abuse Prevention Month and the province-wide Wrapped in Courage campaign, we are deeply thankful for NC’s extraordinary efforts in helping bring our community together to show survivors they are not alone in their fight against fear,” said Graeme Dargavel, Director of Development and Communications, Gillian’s Place. “Longstanding partnerships like this have helped strengthen vital safety nets for those facing abuse.”<\/p>\n<p>Craig Youdale, Dean, Culinary, Tourism and Beverage Studies, has championed the College’s involvement with Gillian’s Place for years and stressed that these events are vital to the student experience.<\/p>\n<p>“This is really important to us; we’ve been supporting Gillian’s Place for many years. Something as simple as making a pancake can really support a great organization and help those in need,” said Youdale, who has been serving as an ambassador for Gillian’s Place this year. “It’s really important that the students have a sense of social responsibility so they can bring their skills to the community.”<\/p>\n<p>CRE Specialist Sarah Scott noted that seeing the positive impact of an event she has helped organize for many\u00a0 years always brings a smile to her face.<\/p>\n<p>“Giving back to the community is incredibly important, and this is an event I have been proud to support year after year,” said Scott. “The energy in the room and the overwhelming turnout of guests showing their support today was nothing short of inspiring.”<\/p>\n<p>For culinary students and alumni volunteers, the early-morning event provided an invaluable opportunity to connect their education with community service.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1700921\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1700921\" class=\"wp-image-1700921 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-200x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-240x360.webp 240w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-150x225.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-90x135.webp 90w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187-360x540.webp 360w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/20261103_Gillians_Place_Pancake_Benchmark_CRE-8187.webp 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1700921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dollar Thaker<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Culinary Management graduate Dollar Thaker, who currently works as Chef de Partie at Benchmark, marked his fourth consecutive year volunteering at the breakfast. Having participated as both a student and now as support staff, Thaker noted that events like this represent the heart of the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n<p>“Fundraisers like this remind us why we do this and why we started cooking,” said Thaker. “When we get the budgets and logistics out of the way and just cook for people who want to eat – that’s the fun of it. I think every chef gets to a point in their career where they just want to cook food for people in need, and being part of that is a big deal.”<\/p>\n<p>For Culinary Management student Bailey Moreau, the event held deep personal significance.<\/p>\n<p>“It hits home a little bit because my family has had to use this program,” said Moreau. “Seeing that food can bring people together and support a good cause is very fulfilling.”<\/p>\n<p>Moreau also emphasized the immense educational value of volunteering alongside industry veterans outside of regular class hours.<\/p>\n<p>“Being involved with your community like this allows you to network with all the faculty. There’s so much knowledge in this school, and all of these chefs are willing to give you the shirt off their back with the amount of knowledge they have,” said Moreau. “You just have to fully immerse yourself in the experience.”<\/p>\n<p>The pancake breakfast capped off a powerful season of advocacy for NC that began in October leading to the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. Marking the twentieth anniversary of the Men’s March to End Violence Against Women, a team of NC “Walk Stars,” comprised of about a dozen male staff and faculty members, led by Youdale, participated in the walk at the Pen Centre on October 17 to take a stand against gender-based violence.<\/p>\n<p>NC raised a total of $4,166 for the Walk a Mile campaign this year through pledges and on-campus initiatives, including the sale of ‘high heel’ sugar cookies baked by Baking and Pastry arts students, charity coffee days and more.<\/p>\n<p>For anyone concerned about their physical and\/or emotional safety, Dargavel noted that Gillian’s Place is available 24\/7. Call or text 905.684.8331 to confidentially assess risk and discuss options.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item

of Indigenous students, faculty, staff and the broader College community.<\/p>\n<p>“To understand what it needed to be was really to step back and let the stories be the direction,” Hogan said.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasized that the strategy reflects a shared vision shaped by the College’s learning community and spoke about the collective responsibility of bringing its priorities to life.<\/p>\n<p>“It was the vision of our learning community here at NC,” she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A personal journey shaped by education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hogan also reflected on her personal
