Hi everyone,



Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is coming soon. We are still looking for
volunteers to give presentations to elementary and high school students
around Montréal from *March 12-16*. Presentations are done for you and  you
can present in French or English. *All you have to do is pick up the kit
with all the information in it and go to the school to give the
presentation. *Your enthusiasm and desire to teach is invaluable to the
success of the BAW campaign.**



*What is Brain Awareness Week?* Brain Awareness Week is an annual public
information campaign created by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in
order to educate the public on the functions of the brain and the
importance of brain research. Since 1998, Montreal has participated in BAW
by having graduate and undergraduate students from all four Montreal
universities volunteer to give presentations at numerous elementary and
secondary educational institutions. The event has earned us considerable
praise from the schools visited and from the media, while nearly all the
volunteers who participated reported it to be a valuable and enjoyable
experience.
