If you look for Archived Opportunities, and find the 2018-2019 Vanier competition, it says results will be announced on April 4th. I hope it'll be before that...

Same here.

Hello everyone, so I have been googling about impact factors for journals, and I am beyond confused. I don't know exactly how to read those. I don't know what is considered a good impact factor in my field (social work, social sciences, women's studies). Plus, I am trying to publish my first publication as a sole author in French, and I am really struggling to find impact factors for francophone journals. I want to be strategic and aim high at first, and then if my article gets rejected, submit to a journal with a lower impact factor...I don't know if it is a good strategy. Anyone here can help me and offer me some guidance?

This is so kind of you. I hope there’s a positive outcome to your applications!! ❤️

My university asked me to give a public speaking workshop to students. Yes, I do a lot of public speaking, but I have never been "taught" how to do it, so I have zero idea what I will teach to these students. Sometimes, I am surprised by the level of trust that people have towards me.

I finished another book review (my 2nd) for a journal. Plus, I finished the first draft of an article! Writing actually helps me to put my anxiety to pause. It's such a intellectually engaging activity that it leaves no room for worry about the past and/or the future.

I got hired to be a social worker and I am quite nervous because I haven't been on the field for quite awhile (I've mostly done research in my recent years and will start a PhD this fall)...It's only for the summer, but I am scared because my last internship when I was an undergraduate student went horribly because my supervisor was bullying me. I hope the team will be nice and not be like her

I remember that in previous years, interviews were around mid-March. But maybe the timeline changed this year. Anyways, congrats!!!! it's an amazing accomplishment to have made it this far. If you get the award, you need to help me when I re-apply next year hahahaha

Next step are interviews only this year.

Hello, so I think I have finished writing (for now) the first version of a publication. It stems from my master's thesis, and I am planning on writing two different articles related to my master's thesis, (splitting my results chapter in two different themes). I know which journal I want to submit it to, but wonder if I should show my article to other people before submitting? This is my first time and I am a bit nervous it'll get rejected. I don't mind having revisions to do after I submit, I am just scared that it won't get accepted at all.

Congrats!

Plus, I also am meeting with my potential future roommate this Saturday. A friend in commun suggested we should live together. She's also starting her PhD at the same university (different program), and I googled her, she does anti-racist and feminist research, has written open letters in the media, has travelled in developing countries, etc. She seems cool already!

I received the information package related to my PhD program from my future university by email. I still don't realize that I will be starting my program in a few months. Things are getting real.

That’s reassuring.

One of my ideas got stolen.

Wow!

I love music. What do you listen ?

I finished a book review for a journal tonight.

I am losing faith in my ability to get Vanier in April even if I was forwarded to the national competition.

Excitement: My proposal got accepted for a conference in Vancouver, BC this summer. Worries: I don't know if I'll be able to fund it. I will have graduated from my current university and won't be a registered student at my future university. I hope that my current university will fund me on the basis that I am currently registered this term...fingers crossed.

Congrats!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO KNOW IF MY PASSED MY MASTER'S THESIS TIRED OF WAITING

Well, I did not get forwarded for Trudeau. I hope I get Vanier though.

❤️

Yes, Valentine's Day was hard. I have decided to give up and shut the door to a romantic life. This is way too hard for me. I don't have what it takes for it. I now focus on my studies and other activities, and I feel much better when I do that.
