The 秀色短视频 marked a milestone on September 10 when the School of Sustainable Design Engineering welcomed 12 students into the third year of study for its new Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Design Engineering degree program. The first-ever, third-year cohort was part of an orientation day for all engineering students at Greenwich, Prince Edward Island National Park.

While engineering has a long history at 秀色短视频, the four-year Sustainable Design Engineering degree was announced last year. The unique program has a project-based curriculum that puts a specialized focus on the design process across the various traditional engineering disciplines.

鈥淭he beginning of the academic year is always a special time at 秀色短视频, but this week is especially meaningful as, for the first time in history, the University is offering a third-year engineering curriculum as part of our new four-year degree program,鈥� said President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淭hese students, in 2017, will represent the first graduating class with a 秀色短视频 engineering degree.鈥�

鈥淪tudents attending 秀色短视频 this fall will be among the future leaders of Prince Edward Island. It is important that we are involved in helping them develop their potential,鈥� Minister of Workforce and Advanced Learning Richard Brown said. 鈥淲e are so pleased to see PEI鈥檚 investment in the School of Sustainable Design Engineering take shape so quickly, and that the program is welcoming third-year students for the first time.鈥�

Not only is having a third-year cohort new, but also offering it in 2015 was earlier than planned. Because a number of students expressed interest in continuing on to earn their degree at 秀色短视频, the School responded by launching the third-year curriculum this year as opposed to next. Eight third-year students are from 秀色短视频 while four are from Saint Mary鈥檚, Cape Breton, Dalhousie, and Brazil universities, respectively.

鈥淚 would like to thank the School鈥檚 faculty and staff for their strong commitment and determination in initiating this early launch of the third-year cohort,鈥� said President Abd-El-Aziz.

It was also it was the first time the School held its orientation day off-campus. This development was due to the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Parks Canada and the University to explore common areas of interest. The first exploration as a result of the MOU has been with the School of Sustainable Design Engineering around a number of first-year student projects.

鈥溞闵�短视频 is so excited to have forged a relationship with Parks Canada as we share similar values as public institutions,鈥� added President Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淭his is the first time our Engineering program has worked directly with Parks Canada, becoming the School鈥檚 flagship 鈥榝irst-year student client鈥�.鈥�

At Greenwich, Engineering faculty hosted students to a number of activities as part of the School鈥檚 annual orientation. The students were introduced to the School鈥檚 faculty, many of them new to 秀色短视频 to accommodate the program expansion, as well to the curriculum and focus areas. The day fittingly included design-related challenges geared to team building and fun design innovation.

Associate Dean of Engineering Nicholas Krouglicof said, 鈥淭his is a momentous year for 秀色短视频鈥檚 new School of Sustainable Design Engineering. We are so pleased to be welcoming our new students and celebrating the introduction of our new four-year program at the Prince Edward Island National Park鈥檚 Greenwich site. We will undoubtedly have many more projects, partnerships, and success stories to celebrate in the future.鈥�

Anthony Parker, a third-year 秀色短视频 engineering student from Enfield, Nova Scotia, who earned his diploma from Saint Mary鈥檚 University, summed it up, 鈥淚 chose 秀色短视频 to complete my engineering degree as the design focus really suited me. The multidisciplinary aspects of program are really different as compared to what other schools offer. I am really enjoying 秀色短视频 campus life already and the orientation at Greenwich was a great way to kick the year off!鈥�

The 秀色短视频 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for the week of September 21-27 are Amy Andrews, Women鈥檚 Rugby and Harminder Singh, Men鈥檚 Soccer. 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation showcases these talented athletes to recognize their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. 秀色短视频 Athletes of the Week are also nominated to Atlantic University Sport and Canadian Interuniversity Sport for possible recognition in the region and/or country.

Andrews, a third-year Bachelor of Science student from Charlottetown, PEI, was an important contributor during the Rugby Panthers 27-5 win over the Saint Mary鈥檚 Huskies on Saturday. Andrews scored 12 of the points and was strong in the front row. Andrews stood out with her agility in loose play, support offensively, and in the rucks defensively.

Singh, a fourth-year Bachelor of Science student from Cremona, Italy, continued to perform offensively for the Men鈥檚 Soccer Panthers this weekend and earned his second consecutive Athlete of the Week honours. On Friday versus the University of New Brunswick, Singh scored in extra time to help the Panthers tie 1-1, and then at Universit茅 de Moncton on Sunday, he scored the game winner during the Panthers 2-1 win over the Blue Eagles.

The Atlantic Veterinary College's (AVC) Regional Diagnostic Virology Services (RDVS) Laboratory and the Toxicology and Analytical Services (TAS) Laboratory have achieved ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation with the Standards Council of Canada (SCC).

'ISO-17025 accreditation demonstrates to the world that we are operating under globally recognized standards,' says Elizabeth Dobbin, director of AVC Diagnostic Services. Both of the newly accredited labs fall under AVC Diagnostic Services, which offers tests and services across eight laboratory sections, encompassing domestic, aquatic, exotic, and wildlife species.

SCC accreditation is not easy to attain. In the case of the RDVS and TAS labs, the process took over three years, culminating in a three-day visit by SCC representatives who inspected every inch of the labs-from documentation and instruments to testing methodology. And this is not the end of the process. To maintain the accreditation status, SCC representatives will return in September 2015 for another inspection and then every two years after that.

Accreditation of the RDVS and TAS labs strengthens the already excellent reputation of AVC Diagnostic Services overall and opens up new opportunities, says Dobbin. Clients look for ISO-17025 certified labs first, so the accreditation expands the potential client base for the service. It also means, for example, that results from the accredited labs are recognized by government and other regulatory bodies, and also that they will stand up in a court of law.

While the ISO-17025 accreditation standard is applicable to the RDVS and TAS labs overall, says Dobbin, they are currently accredited for five testing methods. In order to have a testing method added to the scope of accredited methods, the SCC conducts an intensive inspection of the labs involved. Two more methods will be added during the SCC site inspection next fall and more in future visits.

AVC's attainment of SCC ISO-17025 accreditation was completed in part through a 2010 project under the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency's Atlantic Innovation Fund, involving the development of new innovative delivery mechanisms and improvements in the efficiency of the College's diagnostic services.

Background:

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is an internationally accepted standard to demonstrate technical competence in laboratories performing specific tests, calibrations and/or measurements. ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization headquartered in Switzerland. The IEC term stands for the International Electrotechnical Commission.

The SCC provides accreditation services to laboratories in Canada. It assesses factors relevant to a lab's ability to produce precise accurate test and calibration data, including the technical competence of staff verified through regular proficiency testing or inter-laboratory comparisons; validity and use of appropriate test methods; traceability of measurements and calibrations to national standards such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology; suitability, calibration and maintenance of test equipment; quality assurance of test and calibration results; testing environment, sampling, handling and transportation of test samples; and communication with customers and the need to gain feedback and continual improvement.

Dr. Ian Dohoo, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at 秀色短视频, was honoured recently with an honorary doctorate in veterinary medicine by the University of Helsinki in Finland.

Dohoo was one of ten people honoured by the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine during a three-day celebration that included, among other events, a sword-whetting ceremony, the degree conferment ceremony, a formal ball, and a salute to the rising sun at 4:01 a.m. Helsinki time. Five people from Finland, including Sauli Niinist枚, president of the country, and five from other countries were awarded honorary degrees during the event. During the conferment ceremony, Dohoo was presented with the University of Helinski's insignia of academic rank-a doctoral top hat and a sword.

Dohoo received his honorary degree in recognition of his internationally renowned work in veterinary epidemiology-the study of diseases in populations of animals-and his long record of post-graduate teaching in Scandinavia. The presentation was even more meaningful for Dohoo because Dr. Antti Sukura, the current dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Helsinki, was a participant in his first Scandinavian graduate course.

'Dr. Dohoo is renowned internationally for his expertise in veterinary epidemiology,' says Dr. Greg Keefe, dean of AVC. 'I am honoured to count myself among his early graduate students at the Atlantic Veterinary College. This honour is a testament to his excellent record as a teacher, researcher, and collaborator.'

From 1990 to the present, Dohoo has been teaching graduate-level epidemiology courses in the Scandinavian region. Many of the courses were organized by a collaboration of universities in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway.

'Being involved in epidemiology in Scandinavia has been a highlight of my career,' says Dohoo. 'To be able to contribute to the region's competency in epidemiology and to have it recognized in this way is a thrill for me.'

Dohoo credits his mentor and friend Dr. Wayne Martin, of the University of Guelph, with getting him involved in teaching in Scandinavia, adding that Martin recently received an honorary degree from the University College Dublin in Ireland. 'It's very exciting that we are both being honoured at the same time by different universities.'

This honour is the most recent among many for Dohoo. In 2005, he was elected a Fellow of the prestigious Canadian Academy of Health Sciences. He received honorary degrees from the University of Sweden in 2008 and the University of Guelph in 2012. He has won numerous awards for teaching and research, including the 2012 Calvin W. Schwabe Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Association for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine. He was named professor emeritus at 秀色短视频's 2012 convocation ceremony. With Dr. Henrik Stryhn of AVC and Martin, he authored the standard text used for epidemiology curricula in veterinary schools around the world.

Dohoo graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine from the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, in 1976, and in 1982 with his PhD. He joined AVC in 1985, the year before the College accepted its first class of students, and retired in 2012.

The AVC community welcomed the Class of 2019 on Friday, August 28, at the College鈥檚 annual AVC-CVMA Blue Coat Ceremony. At the ceremony, the students are presented with blue lab coats, signifying the beginning of their four-year journey toward their doctor of veterinary medicine degrees. The students in the Class of 2019 settled into their studies quickly and are getting to know each other and their school. We are looking forward to a great year with all of our students! We thank the CVMA (Canadian Veterinary Medical Association) for supporting our incoming students at their Blue Coat Ceremony. 

The Atlantic Veterinary College at 秀色短视频 opened its doors to the public on Saturday, September 26, welcoming up to 2,800 people to its 27th annual Open House.During his first Open House as dean of AVC, Dr. Greg Keefe greeted visitors鈥攆rom infants to grandparents鈥攁t the main doors of the College.

鈥淥pen House was a wonderful success,鈥� says Dr. Keefe. 鈥淭he smiles on the faces of the children were contagious as they showed off their bandaged teddy bears. But it was not just the kids who enjoyed Open House; I overheard parents commenting about how interesting AVC is and how they wanted to come back to see it again. Open House is a great way to say thank you to the community that supports the College and our students so well throughout the year. Congratulations to Amy Bullerwell, student coordinator of Open House, and her army of student volunteers.鈥�

This year鈥檚 event featured the always-popular children鈥檚 activity centre with a teddy bear clinic, gowning and gloving like a surgeon, face painting and animal balloons; nail-clipping and clicker-training demonstrations; the parade of dog breeds, a wide variety of animals from poultry and pigs to hamsters and hedgehogs; and exhibits by community partners such as the PEI Humane Society, 4-H, the Cat Action Team, and Maritime Greyhound Dog Rescue. New this year were short seminars about first aid for pets and protecting pets from poisons. Let鈥檚 Talk Science and the 秀色短视频 Department of Physics also mounted interactive demonstrations and displays.

AVC鈥檚 Open House is one of the largest, most successful open houses in Atlantic Canada.
