Her areas of expertise include behaviour of cephalopod molluscs (octopuses and squid) Schizophrenia, Women in Science, and Excellence in University teaching. She is highly dedicated to providing students with meaningful education and ensuring student wellness remains high at the U of L. In Fall of 2022, she supervised an independent study in the Psychology department where the student performed a survey about food insecurity amongst fellow psychology students. Beyond, this work Dr. Mather continues to strive for accessibility and advocacy in the fight against food insecurity.

Thinking Ahead Giving Back (TAGB) is Chartwells’ vision and commitment to being a collaborative thought partner in creating a safe, dynamic, and thriving campus community. Through TAGB, food insecurity is one of the challenges we are tackling together with our community partners. The Food for Thought program at the U of Lethbridge is an excellent example of this.

Not only does this program assist with actual food insecurity but it also gives students a learning opportunity in this discipline. Chartwells is pleased to be able to support The Food For Thought program through Agility and eagerly wait the initiatives students pursue each year. In Fall of 2023, an applied studies student worked closely with us to organize a nutritious meal offered to about 90 students during two workshops put on by Food For Thought.
