Alumni nominated for a Juno Award
Guitarist and vocalist Tarek Jafar BSc '11 and drummer and backing vocalist Justin Tessier BA '14 are known in the rock world as
The Blue Stones
. The duo has been
nominated for a 2020 Juno Award
in the category of Breakthrough Group of the Year. The Junos, Canada's music awards, will be held March 15 in Saskatoon.
It took seven years - and two independently released EPs - for The Blue Stones to hone their approach, putting in 10,000 hours to perfect their craft and then build on it. The band has been experiencing new success since its full-length studio album Black Holes was re-released with support of the major label Entertainment One in 2018.

Richard Peddie |
Alumnus proudly wears Raptors jewel
During the 2018/19 season the Toronto Raptors made NBA history when they defeated the Golden State Warriors in game 6 of the finals. It was the first time a Canadian team won the championship. In Toronto and in 37 Jurassic Parks, set up to view the NBA finals, thousands braved the cold to celebrate. The finals were broadcast worldwide.
The Toronto Raptors championship ring, inspired by all-star point guard Kyle Lowry, is the biggest in NBA history. It contains 640 diamonds, including 74 representing the number of wins in the season and 17 rubies representing Canada. The ring incorporates the Toronto skyline, the jersey numbers of each player on the winning roster and the NORTH chevron representing the popular #wethenorth hashtag.
In recognition of Richard Peddie's BComm '70, LLD '01 help to bring the NBA to Canada, building Air Canada Centre, Maple Leaf Square (home of Jurassic Park) and launching NBA TV, he was presented with a championship ring.
Peddie, former President and CEO of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment and the Toronto Raptors, is pictured sporting the exclusive memento.

Business school earns accreditation extension
A five-year extension of its accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business is a "milestone" achievement for the Odette School of Business, says dean Mitch Fields.
"This accreditation process is a rigorous evaluation of our excellence in learning and teaching, strategic management, and academic and professional engagement," Dr. Fields says. "It has been earned by only five per cent of schools worldwide granting business degrees."
Fields says the accreditation helps the Odette School of Business differentiate itself from competitors.

Alumna makes history as
cast member of Canada's largest Latinx stage production
AJ Simmons BFA '13 is making Canadian history as part of the cast of the country's largest Latinx stage production. Simmons says she was "thrilled and honoured" to hit the stage in the world premiere of Carmen Aguirre's play
Anywhere But Here
, which blends dark comedy and magical realism to tell a story about the universal quest for home.
Simmons heads a cast of nine which travels across multiple timelines and space - from Trump's America to 1970s Chile. She notes that for her, the journey started while still a student in the School of Dramatic Art.
