The Student Life Centre of Conestoga College will host Life is Like a Roller Coaster, a series of Awareness Day events on Thursday, September 27 at the Doon campus in Kitchener.

Participants will be able to:
- Find out how a textbook can "talk” through use of an iPod
- Use a Dragon to speak to a computer
- Experience the Unfair Hearing Test
- Take the Virtual Road Test
- Test the reliability of their visual and hearing perception
- Get a Check-up from the Neck Up
There will be refreshments, prize draws and even entertainment:
