Yes, I am repeating this gif because of how tasty those pancakes look.
Bokwa
10:00AM – 11:00AM | Kerr Quad (Rain Location: RAC)
Don’t worry. When I heard of this, my first reaction to was: what in the world is that? But picture this: combining numbers, letters AND exercise? It’s all possible with this new fitness craze led by an instructor from Ryerson Recreation. Instructor can modify activities for participants of every ability. (Activewear suggested).
How To Be A Ram

When I say that Dr. Ivan Joseph is an amazing speaker, that is an extremely big understatement. So come out to see Dr. Ivan Joseph, Ryerson’s Director of Athletics give an inspiring and motivating talk that will introduce you to the adventure you’re about to embark upon and teach you how to become a true Ryerson Ram! I can personally guarantee that Dr. Ivan Joseph’s speech is not something you will want to miss. Go check out Dr. Ivan Joseph’s Ted Talk on youtube.com, it has over 2 million views!
