Welcome to the month of "Movember".

Some teachers and students at GCI are trying to help change the face of men's health. They have joined a global movement that is bringing attention to prostate cancer. The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 in Australia. Some aussies joked about 80s fashion and decided it was time to bring the moustache back.

So, for the month of November, these GCI men are growing a moustache and hope you will help donate to the cause. To get involved, you can go to http://ca.movember.com/. The GCI team is called Will Tassies 'Stache. The team is hoping to raise $1000 as a team for Prostate Canada.

The Universities of the week are:

Rension University College from U of Waterloo and Nipissing University.
