Get the Roblox Developer mug.The SIDGS is a program at the University of Ottawa in international development. It attracts the largest number of students in the whole faculty of social sciences.
It is known for its contingent of English Canadian hippies and Franco Ontarians who don't know what to do with their life but want to travel and want to get through university without learning anything too rough. In between two joints they learn to hate the IMF and the World Bank and that participatory research methods is THE shit. After four years they also finally realise that international development is a load of crap, and they should study something else if they want a good job.
The profs in the SIDGS are an amalgation of academics and field practitioners, mostly all Marxist. Is it thought that there are two factions within the SIDGS Marxist group, a maoist one led informally by an old development worker, and a Trotskyist one led by an old sociology professor who is plotting to take over the SIDGS to turn it into a revolutionary unit. When a large enough number of DVM alumni realise they can't get a job, they will most likely join this organization to become the cannon fodder of the revolution.

(In a School of International Development and Global Studies typical class discussion group)
Teacher's Assistant: So did anyone read the text for today?
Most students: No...
TA: Can someone who read it sum it up? (i.e. the TA doesn't understand shit about DVM either...)
One student: Yeah, it says the IMF f**ked all the development in Africa and they're full of shit.
TA: (reading the text) Yes... yes you're right that's what it said.

Get the demoed out mug.Tall, naive, overly enthusiastic, and hyperactive. She is constantly giddy/happy and relatively single minded. When you walk in her house you feel like you just jumped out of the movie alladin. She can brighten your day and make you want to pull your hair out at the same time. Overall just great.
**Warning-Dont get her talking about Taylor Swift**
(more commonly known as DEVER-OH-The better way of spelling it)

Get the Developurr mug.A person with a open mind who does not talk much, but talks when needed or wants to have a little fun. He is a person with a unique intellect and is also hard working strong, ect. His biggest weakness is his difficulty with socializing and understanding. He is formidable at sports and athletics and at school. But his greatest weakness is self loathing.
He is Deven gates!!! Most respect for him but he is sort of sad and a loner. but who cares he's a great guy and a great teacher.
