Sheridan’s Faculty of Business film series Ethics in Business continues Tuesday November 29 at 7:00 pm in Room A145 at the Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga with Super Size Me, the story of Morgan Spurlock and his journey of epic proportions through a McDonalds only diet.
From the IMDB website:
Several legal suits have been brought against McDonald’s Restaurants that they are knowingly selling food that is unhealthy. Some of the court decisions have stated that the plaintiffs would have a claim if they could prove that eating the food every day for every meal is dangerous. As such, documentarian Morgan Spurlock conducts an unscientific experiment using himself as the guinea pig: eat only McDonald’s for thirty days, three meals a day. If he is asked by the clerk if he would like the meal super sized, he has to say yes. And by the end of the thirty days, he will have had to have eaten every single menu item at least once. Before starting the experiment, he is tested by three doctors – a general practitioner, a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist – who pronounce his general health to be outstanding. They will also monitor him over the thirty days to ensure that he is not placing his health into irreparable damage.
Sheridan’s film series continues next Tuesday at 7:00 pm with Inside Job.

Sheridan Office Administration students and graduates supplied administrative support to the Mississauga Summit 2011
More than 25 Sheridan Faculty of Business, Office Administration students, graduates and faculty volunteered to supply scribe and administrative services to the participants of the recent Mississauga Summit.
The Mississauga Summit, held at the University of Toronto, Mississauga (UTM) brought together participants to brainstorm five Big Ideas for the future of the City of Mississauga.
Coordinated by Nancy Barrington, the Sheridan Faculty of Business, Office Administration students and graduates volunteered in a variety of ways – mainly by e-recording, using their laptops, the highlights of each presentation, and assisting with distributing information to participants, taking pictures, participating in the audience, and networking with the community. Lisa Mendes and Kellie Hayward, professors in the Office Administration programs, also assisted with organizing the students during the Summit.
Sheridan Office Administration students with Mayor Hazel McCallion at the recent Mississauga Summit
Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and Calgary’s Mayor Neshi were in attendance as various task forces presented five “big ideas” for Mississauga on the waterfront, diversity, human services (health and social services), post-secondary education, and jobs.
The ideas include a waterfront development corporation to determine the fate of 450 acres of land; a business network for UTM, Sheridan College and two local hospitals; an innovation centre comparable to MaRS in downtown Toronto for start-up businesses; a “neighbourhoods-at-risk strategy” for social services in one community; and a diversity council for the large immigrant community.
Summit participant and Sheridan Faculty of Business, Dean, William Holmes praised the coordinators, faculty and students of the Office Administration programs.
“Our students showed an exceptional level of professionalism and I was proud to have them at the Summit representing Sheridan and the Faculty of Business, please accept my thanks and sincere appreciation”, said Holmes.
The Mississauga Summit is the fourth in an ongoing series that began in 2007 and is modeled after Greater Toronto’s CivicAction — a way to engage residents by having them contribute their own plans.

The first film in the series is The Corporation based on the book The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power by Joel Bakan.
The film website describes The Corporation as “Provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative, THE CORPORATION explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal “person” to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist’s couch to ask “What kind of person is it?” The Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics – including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore – plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change.”
Dean, Bill Holmes will introduce the film.

Research assistants Sarrazin and Voelk work on the Aging in Place project for SERC
Sheridan Faculty of Business students Alexi Voelk and Andrew Sarrazin, spent the summer as research assistants working with Pat Spadafora, Director, Sheridan Elder Research Centre (SERC) on a NSERC grant called Aging in Place: Optimizing Health Outcomes through Technology, Design and Social Inclusion. The proposal question: How can Sheridan and the Sheridan Elder Research Centre (SERC) best collaborate with, prepare and support small and medium-sized businesses to respond to the significant market opportunities presented by this demographic phenomenon?
“This research is important to SERC because one of our mandates is to encourage small to medium size businesses to recognize the demographic shift and to support them in learning more about working with, marketing to and designing for mature consumers,” said Spadafora.
Business and Industry Knowledge Exchange Network participants discuss issue around an aging demographic.
Students Voelk and Sarrazin were hired to work on business aspects of the grant. Voelk worked with pigeon* branding + design, conducting background research on marketing to mature consumers and designing products for mature consumers. Sarrazin’s focus was the business of aging and he assisted in the launch of the Business and Industry Knowledge Exchange Network (BIKEN). The intent of the group is to help small and medium size businesses to diversity and to grow their businesses in response to an aging demographic.
“The Aging in Place research will also provide valuable opportunities for Sheridan students in capstone project courses to create and administer their own practical research project using SERC’s current research facilities. Interested students should be encouraged to contact SERC for more information,” said Spadafora
The BIKEN team organized two breakfast meetings with the goal of bringing businesses together to recognize this demographic shift and to support them in learning more about mature consumers.
Faculty of Business Professor Kathleen Begin recently completed the Elder Planning Counselor (EPC) designation and was interested to know how Sheridan College and the business world was responding to the aging population and the ensuing challenges and opportunities.
“I think we have a responsibility to our students to prepare them for what they will experience in their careers and personal lives. We can do this by building examples and cases in our classes that reflect different demographic groups,” said Begin.
Alexi and Andrew were part of a cohort of 13 research assistants recruited from Faculty of Business, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology, Faculty of Arts, Animation, and Design and Faculty of Applied Health and Community Service. In addition, Faculty of Business Professor Cathryn Oliver, was hired to support Advertising students Voelk and Sarrazin, both of whom are continuing as part-time researchers into the fall semester.
