"I love that goallball is an inclusive sport that everybody can play. Everybody is on the same equal playing field." Brieann Baldock, an accessibility advisor at AU and former student, is off to Paris to represent Canada in goalball at the 2024 Paralympic Games! Before she left, Baldock took some time to explain how goalball works, why athletes wear light-blocking eyeshades, and how as the only goalball player from Edmonton she prepares for the intensity of international competition. Go, Canada, go! 🇨🇦 https://athau.ca/48rLKHf

Athabasca University and the Canadian Football League Players' Association (CFLPA) have been collaborating since 2014. In the past decade, many CFLPA members and partners have embraced the unique opportunities provided by #AthabascaU and the CFLPA Academy, balancing their educational goals with their demanding football careers!
In the words of Jeshrun Antwi and with great thanks to Athabasca University... "The Canadian Football League Players' Association (CFLPA) Academy’s partnership with Athabasca University has been a tremendous asset for my family! My wife had previously completed her undergrad at another institution and needed a few more classes to get into another program. We welcomed a newborn and because of this my wife would not be able to attend classes in person however she was able to take these courses online through Athabasca University! With the help of the Academy, we received free course credits for 3 classes. This was a game-changer for our family and has enabled my wife to pursue her career goals! The academy provides players with a phenomenal opportunity for anyone looking to continue their education. I highly encourage all members to reach out to Jason Langvee and the Academy about the benefits that we are afforded." #education #educationmatters #highereducation #financialeducation #onlineeducation #educationfirst #continuingeducation #canadianfootball #athabascauniversity #montrealalouettes #educationalleadership #educationforlife #educationgoals

"I wasn't going to win any mom of the year awards, but if my kids were clean, fed, and not bleeding, it was a win in my books." #AthabascaU grad Dr. Nadine Robinson worked hard to stay on track as a new single mother, but she navigated it all and earned a Doctorate of Business Administration from Athabasca University Faculty of Business.
I got my doctorate while raising my 3 and 5-year-old kids. Here are 5 ways I juggled it all and stayed sane.
