Where is your favourite place on campus?

I like my privacy, so I find solace in the thickets across the street along Saskatchewan Drive. I suppose that's also why I like the woodsy feel of the Arts/Business Quad.

Tablet or paper?

I've been known to indulge in a good bark snack, so… paper?

Name one thing you've brought to work from home.

The better question might be, what do I bring to home from work? And the answer is: berries.

What is the one thing you can't live without?

A cozy place to relax.

If you won airfare to anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I could probably just walk there, but I have a cousin at Augustana and she tells me that the area behind the Ravine Studio is pretty great for people watching.

You can invite anyone - alive or dead, real or fictional - to dinner. Who would it be?

Felix Salten. I just want to ask him, "why?!?!?"

If you could switch jobs with someone else on campus for a week, what would you do?

I think I'd swap with a librarian. I'd appreciate the quiet that settles in to the libraries, especially during finals.

What does "uplifting the whole people" mean to you?

Empowering everyone to find their place in our greater community.

If you could solve any problem in the world, what would it be?

The constant rush that we seem to get ourselves caught up in and the need for attention. Everyone deserves a moment of calm and serenity.

What 3 words best describe your U of A experience?

Hiding in trees.

About Artemis Odocoileus

Image for Post

Artemis Odocoileus is a deer. She tends to stay out of sight, but can occasionally be seen around campus. She can sometimes be found grazing at South Campus and has been known to make an appearance at Campus Saint-Jean, and even Augustana. She's mild mannered, but really likes her privacy, so if you see her, it's best to leave her alone…. after all, she's still a wild animal.
