Over 115 Prince Edward Island women served as nurses in the First World War. They were full-blooded, complex women living in a tumultuous time in our history, doing their duty on distant battlefields. Their courage, and the courage of all Canadian nurses, is saluted in a powerful new book about wartime nursing called Those Splendid Girls, published by Island Studies Press at 秀色短视频.

Author and nursing educator Katherine Dewar, was granted rare access to personal scrapbooks, letters home, private diaries, and wartime photo albums of Island nurses; by combining their voices and experiences with their military records, she delivers this riveting story of mud, blood, and courage that tells the story of Canadian nursing in the First World War.

At war's end, many Island nurses were unwilling to swap their wartime autonomy and authority for housework or poorly paid nursing positions on PEI, instead, they accepted senior appointments in nursing schools and in hospital administration, most often in the 'Boston States' and in California, and through these, made lasting contributions to the profession of nursing in North America. Those Splendid Girls features a 35-page biography section detailing each nurse's life, her family, education, military service, plus work, and family life after the war.

Ed MacDonald, Professor of History at 秀色短视频, comments: '[this book] does more than restore a measure of gender balance to our understanding of that shattering conflict; it tells a ripping good yarn about women at war.'

Those Splendid Girls contains many wartime, black and white photos, reproduced for the first time. The book is available October 18, and readers can preview it at:

The first case competition of the semester took place at Mount Saint Vincent University as the Nova Scotia institution hosted the 44th annual Atlantic Schools of Business (ASB) Conference, September 26-28. 秀色短视频's dynamic duo of Cody Dawson and Alex Khan took home third place in the ASB Case Competition.

The conference, one of Canada's longest running academic business conferences, attracts close to 100 academics annually from institutions throughout Canada and across the globe. Case competitions have always been, and continue to be, an integral part of the conference, showcasing some of the talent and knowledge of the top business students in Atlantic Canada.

'Case competitions are an integral part of business education. The scenarios provide students with the ability to analyze real-world business situations and make recommendations as if they were business executives or consultants,' said 秀色短视频's Dean of the School of Business Juergen Krause.

Eight teams competed in the ASB case competition, with a three-hour time limit to analyze, strategize, and prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a case they had never before seen, followed by a 12-minute presentation each, and five minutes for questions from a judging panel comprised of academic and industry professionals. The competition, while competitive in nature, is also used as a learning experience for students, as they get to watch the other teams present their strategic plans through various perspectives.

While most teams consisted of four students, 秀色短视频's newly formed partnership of Dawson and Khan were not worried, and they were thankful for the opportunity to compete. 'There were many great benefits to competing at a case competition like this one,' said Dawson. 'At ASB, we were able to gain new perspectives and strategies that will be helpful moving forward. Placing in the top three just adds to the already great experience.'

Khan couldn't agree more. 'Being able to compete and meet students from other schools was an enriching experience. It was a privilege to represent 秀色短视频 and I am thankful for the opportunity,' he added.

秀色短视频's new case competition coach and former 秀色短视频 case competition student Mary Whitrow was thrilled with the team's achievement. 'I'm proud of the effort and eagerness the students demonstrated as they competed against some of the top students in Atlantic Canada,' she said. 'This finish is due to the team's hard work and commitment to excellence, and the much appreciated support from the School of Business.'

Krause also applauded the hard work and dedication by the students and their mentors that resulted in their overall success. 'I'm very happy that we are able to continue the tradition of our successful student case teams. It's always a great reward for the School of Business to see the accomplishments of our students, staff, and faculty when the teams demonstrate their acquired skills on a regional, national, or international level.'

秀色短视频 congratulates Cody and Alex on their success!

Heather Taves returns home to PEI and to the 秀色短视频 Music Department on Friday, October 24 at 7:30 pm where she will present her solo piano recital, 'Come From Away.'

Drawing on the stories her parents, and stories her aunts and uncles told about their lives, Taves' recital at 秀色短视频 will trace the history of her family as refugees from Russia in the 1920s to 1968, when her family moved to Prince Edward Island. Her musical journey will include pieces by Chopin, Debussy, Stravinsky, contemporary composer Keenan Reimer-Watts, as well as Taves' own composition, 'My Mom and Glenn Gould: A Two Part Invention.'

Taves performs in classical, contemporary, and folk idioms as a pianist, improviser, and composer. She has recorded five albums. She is also an organic gardener and cook, presents house concerts, and is involved with community sustainability projects. Initially emerging as a classical artist, her graduation recital from McGill University at age 19 was broadcast across Canada by the CBC. Winning a Canada Council Grant to obtain her Master's of Music at Indiana University, she joined the legendary piano class of Gyorgy Sebok, but simultaneously discovered her interests in world music, early music, and jazz. After graduating, she performed over 80 concerts a year while teaching at the McGill Conservatory in Montreal. Since obtaining her doctorate at Stony Brook in New York, she has served as a piano professor in Ontario, first at Brock University, and since 1996 at Wilfrid Laurier University.

The New York critic Greg Sandow has praised Taves' path-breaking curriculum to help students develop their own voice through improvisation and community engagement.

Tickets are $15/$10 for students and seniors, and are available at the door, online , or in advance by calling (902) 566-0507.

On Sunday, October 26 at 2:30 pm, the 秀色短视频 Music Department will play host to a 'triple header' at the Dr. Steel Recital Hall. The 'Piano Collective,' a group of four pianists playing eight-hand music on two pianos will make their debut in a performance featuring beloved music of J.S. Bach, Mozart, Glazunov, Mendelssohn, Moszkowski, and Bizet.

The occasion also marks a celebration for Professor Emerita Dr. Frances Gray who officially retired this year after serving 45 years as Professor of Piano and Theory in 秀色短视频's Music Department. As a tribute to her years of contribution, the afternoon will launch a music scholarship for outstanding student performers in the Music Department.

Frances Gray is delighted to have formed this 'Piano Collective' with three alumnae of 秀色短视频 who all studied piano with her in the Music Department. It could be that this is the first full concert of its kind in PEI, which explores repertoire for Piano Eight-Hands. This particular instrumentation was a favourite means, in earlier times, of allowing composers to hear their newly written symphonic works without the expense of hiring orchestral musicians to read through their scores.

Gray, in addition to her solo performances, has always been delighted to play chamber music with other instrumentalists but has found it challenging and rewarding to put this medium of four pianists together to explore another facet of collaborative music making.

Other musicians joining Gray in the 'Piano Collective' include Stephanie Cole, a private piano teacher from Stratford, and currently the Director of Music Ministries at Winsloe United Church. Cole also works as a freelance collaborative pianist. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from 秀色短视频, as well as a Master's degree in Piano Performance & Pedagogy from
Memorial University. Cole also performs as a trombonist with the PEI Symphony Orchestra.

Morgan Saulnier will also be performing in the collective. She holds a Bachelor of Music degree from 秀色短视频 and a Master's degree in Flute Performance from Memorial University. Saulnier maintains an active role in the music scene on PEI, and is in high demand as a flute and piano educator, soloist, and collaborator. She is Principal Flute of the PEI Symphony Orchestra and holds sessional appointments at 秀色短视频 and Holland College. She currently resides in Charlottetown with her husband and daughter, and owns a boutique on Victoria Row.

Jacqueline Sorensen Young, BMus (鈥�92), a freelance musician who operates a successful private teaching studio in downtown Charlottetown, will be the final member of the collective. She is a Piano Examiner for The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Director of Music at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown, and is in demand as a collaborative pianist and music
festival adjudicator. She taught as a sessional lecturer in the Music Department at 秀色短视频 from 1994 to 2013.

Following the performance, there will be a short celebration recognizing Dr. Gray's retirement and an opportunity for those who wish to contribute to the scholarship in Dr. Gray's name for outstanding student performers at the 秀色短视频 Music Department.

Tickets are $15/$10 for students and seniors and are available at the door, online at , or in advance by calling (902) 566-0507.

Ivan Coyote, award-winning author of eight collections of short stories, one novel, three CDs, and four short films will be on campus on Thursday, October 23 at 6:00 pm to present a public lecture. Coyote, also a renowned columnist and sought-after performer will provide a free public talk, Q&A session, and book signing, in 秀色短视频's K.C. Irving Chemistry Centre, room 104.

Coyote's presentation will focus on issues of gender failure. This event is made possible thanks to the 秀色短视频 Student Diversity Office, 秀色短视频 Student Affairs, Diversity and Social Justice Studies, and the Action Committee on Sexuality and Gender Diversity.

All are welcome to attend!
