Alumni Share Valuable Career Insights with Students
Kiyan Heybati ‘18, a graduate of McMaster University’s Health Sciences program and currently pursuing his MD and MSC at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, visited our Health Sciences Club this week to give students a basic introduction to Vascular Neurology.
Kiyan presented a case study of an elderly female patient who presented in the emergency department with facial droop. He then taught students how to conduct a basic neurological exam using the NIH Stroke Scale and other typical scans and tests that would be performed on a patient presenting with neurological symptoms. Students then practiced their newly developed skills with a partner - complete with testing the patellar tendon reflex.
Elliot Eydelman '15 returned to CDS a few weeks ago to talk about his experience studying Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University and joining MDA Space, a Canadian space technology company that provides geo-intelligence, robotics and space operation services, and best known for developing the Canadarm on the International Space Station.
Elliot chatted with Mr. Simmonds and his Grade 12 STEM class, Ms. Romanowich's Grade 10 Careers class, and also visited with Mrs. Street in the Junior School to speak with Grade 6 students.
McKenna Ryan '17 returned to visit Ms. Castellan's Grade 11 Non-Traditional Arts Class earlier this month to lead a brief lesson in animation in advance of students beginning the animation unit, specifically focusing on realistic movement.
A graduate of the Parsons School of Design in New York City, McKenna shared her experiences at the school, obtaining a dual degree in the arts with a specialization in animation. If you are interested in digital marketing or web design services, check out her new business, @sonderstudios.ca.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
