秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation will host the ninth annual Shoot for the Cure fundraiser this Friday, January 15 when the Women鈥檚 Basketball Panthers take on the Acadia Axewomen. The tip-off time is 6:00 pm.

Shoot for the Cure is a fundraising initiative of the CIS Women鈥檚 Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) that raises money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and other related charities. The national campaign, launched in 2007, has collected over $886,000 in donations.

The entire Panther team is involved in the local 秀色短视频 effort, led by captains Tamara Tompkins, Katie Donahoe, and Anne Kiberd.

鈥淲e鈥檙e so excited to be hosting this fundraiser as we all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer,鈥� says Tompkins.

鈥淥n behalf of 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball, I invite everyone to come out to watch great basketball action and help us with this worthy cause,鈥� she adds. 鈥淭here are numerous ways to give at the game鈥攜ou can buy Shoot for the Cure t-shirts, pick up a treat at our bake sale, or bid on some terrific donated prizes at our silent auction.鈥�

For the fifth year in a row, all 47 CIS women's basketball schools are participating in the program. This year's edition of Shoot for the Cure could prove the most special to date, thanks to the fast approaching $1,000,000 benchmark and the launch of a new coast-to-coast project, the Pink Ball Journey.
At the 2015 CIS women鈥檚 basketball championship in Quebec City last March, the WBCA presented a cheque for $102,312.05 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. An additional $23,049.71 was amassed by universities that elected to donate their fundraised money to local or provincial organizations, bringing the overall Shoot for the Cure total for the 2014-15 season to $125,361.76.

Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend!

 

秀色短视频 alumna Monica Elaine Campbell, Class of 鈥�78, was invested into the Order of Ontario yesterday by the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of the Order of Ontario.

Campbell, who lives in Ottawa, grew up on PEI and moved to Ontario after graduating with her Bachelor of Science, Honours in Mathematics (Minor in Biology). It is believed that Campbell was the first profoundly Deaf student to graduate from 秀色短视频, a remarkable feat at a time when technological supports were limited. She took all her notes through lip reading.

The Order of Ontario recognized Campbell as 鈥渁 pioneer in the development of palliative care services for the Deaf in Ontario. She has worked tirelessly to break down communication, cultural, and institutional barriers that have long limited Deaf people's access to end-of-life care.鈥�

秀色短视频 President and Vice Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz said, 鈥淥n behalf of all of the entire 秀色短视频 family and friends network, I congratulate our alumna, Ms. Campbell, on her investiture to the Order of Ontario. We are so very proud of her success and contributions to society.鈥�

The current dynamics of population change in Prince Edward Island will be the subject of a public symposium at 秀色短视频. The event begins at 7:00 pm, January 21 in the Alex H. MacKinnon Lecture Theatre, Room 242, Don and Marion McDougall Hall.  The storm date is January 22.

Population change has always been at the core of the development of small islands, and it is no different on Prince Edward Island. Every day, the public media deliver news about some aspect of population: youth outmigration, rural depopulation, an aging workforce, temporary foreign workers, refugees, wealthy immigrant investors, or numerous other trends. The symposium will provide an opportunity for the public to hear about and contribute to the debate on several of the population issues that are crucial to the future of Prince Edward Island.

This event is sponsored by 秀色短视频鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies, in conjunction with 秀色短视频 Research Services.

Speakers:

Dr. Jim Randall is a geographer by training and a professor in the Island Studies program at 秀色短视频. He is also Chair of the Institute of Island Studies and Co-ordinator of the Master of Arts in Island Studies. Dr. Randall will provide an overview of the major population changes taking place on PEI from a 鈥渟mall islands鈥� perspective.

Katie Mazer is a PhD Candidate in Geography at the University of Toronto. She researches the movement of workers between the Maritimes and natural resource industries 'out west.' Ms. Mazer鈥檚 presentation will focus on Islanders going west and migrant workers coming into the province through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Looking at government policies and economic forces that pressure people to leave home for work, her presentation asks: Why do so many workers have to go so far to make a living?

Tony Wallbank is a retired business owner and draft-horse enthusiast who has spearheaded the upcoming migration of two communities of Amish farmers from southern Ontario to eastern Prince Edward Island. The first Amish settlers will arrive next spring. He will tell us about the Amish, explain why they find rural PEI attractive, and review some of the challenges in this process of community resettlement.

Members of the public are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free. Following the presentations, there will be ample time for discussion and questions from the floor.

For further information, contact Laurie Brinklow, Co-ordinator, Institute of Island Studies at brinklow@upei.ca or 902-894-2881.

Water is a precious necessity that shapes and sustains our lives, yet current and potential watershed problems are a serious challenge on PEI and globally. The Island is the only Canadian province to rely solely on groundwater for drinking water. To ensure the continual sustainability and potability of our water, province-wide hearings are currently being held for the Water Act.

In a timely visit to PEI, Dr. Rita Wong鈥攑rofessor, watershed researcher, activist,  and poet鈥攚ill deliver the inaugural 秀色短视频 Don Mazer Arts and Science Lecture February 4 at 7:00 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242, of 秀色短视频鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall.

Dr. Wong鈥檚 talk, entitled 鈥淗umble Autonomy: Renewing Culture through Participatory Water Ethics,鈥� will focus on Vancouver, with ample time afterward for the audience to discuss parallels with PEI. A reception with refreshments will follow.

In addition to research presentations on watershed issues, Dr. Wong uses poetry to reflect on human relations with water. Her poetry book Undercurrent reminds humanity that 鈥渨e are water bodies,鈥� and that we need to honour this reality.

秀色短视频 is also honoured to to be host Dr. Wong on February 5 at 7:30 pm for a public reading of her poetry, in the Dawson Lounge (Room 520) in SDU Main Building. The reading is sponsored by the 秀色短视频 faculties of Arts and Science, with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts.

Dr. Wong grew up in Calgary. She is currently an associate professor in Critical and Cultural Studies at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. Living and working in Vancouver, she became interested in water ethics because she learned how many salmon streams have been buried and lost to urban development. She lives on the path of a buried salmon stream that she and her neighbours aim to reconnect with and bring back to memory and daylight.

In the earlier part of her career, she was known for her work in Asian Canadian studies and her inter-disciplinary research. For this work, Dr. Wong received a doctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanity Research Council of Canada. As her focus has shifted more on water issues as a cultural nexus, she has also received a major SSHRC research-creation grant for this collaborative work with filmmaker Dorothy Christian.

She has won the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize and the Asian Canadian Writer鈥檚 Workshop Emerging Writer Award, and is renowned for examining relationships among contemporary poetics, social justice, ecology, and decolonization.

Dr. Wong鈥檚 water talk and poetry reading come at a vital time for development of PEI鈥檚 understanding of water ethics and sustainability. As many Islanders work to modernize our water laws, those who want to gain new perspectives on water鈥檚 value will have the opportunity to listen to one of Canada鈥檚 important investigators of participatory water ethics and watershed issues.

The 秀色短视频 Don Mazer Arts and Science Lecture is presented by the 秀色短视频 faculties of Arts and Science.

Atlantic University Sport (AUS) and Bell Aliant have joined forces for the sixth annual Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Day on January 27. Everyone is invited to join the conversation with 2,200 student-athletes from 11 Atlantic universities to help end the stigma around mental illness.

鈥淏y partnering with Atlantic University Sport, Bell Let鈥檚 Talk is reaching student-athletes all across Atlantic Canada to encourage conversations about mental health,鈥� said Dan McKeen, Bell Senior Vice President and Vice Chair, Atlantic. 鈥淚ncreasing awareness and improving attitudes about mental health is the key to reducing the stigma around mental illness that keeps so many from seeking the help they need.鈥�

This sentiment is shared by 秀色短视频 Panthers men鈥檚 soccer coach, Lewis Page: 鈥淪tepping out of the silence and talking about mental health is so important in fighting stigma. The Bell Let鈥檚 Talk campaign lets student-athletes and coaches know that it鈥檚 ok to reach out and talk, it鈥檚 ok to ask for help, and it鈥檚 ok to help others.鈥�

鈥淲hile competition and rivalry is the nature of sport, Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Day is a great opportunity for all our schools and teams to come together in support of mental health,鈥� said AUS executive director Phil Currie. 鈥淭he slogan we developed with Bell Aliant for this partnership is 鈥極ne Team For Mental Health鈥� and that really encompasses what we鈥檙e doing.鈥�

Mental illness is an issue that hits home for many students and their peers with suicide accounting for 24% of all deaths among 15-24 year olds.

Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Day AUS men鈥檚 hockey games

With 4 AUS men鈥檚 hockey games taking place in 3 provinces on Bell Let鈥檚 Talk Day, fans around the conference are invited to come out and show their support on January 27.

AUS mental health video

Student-athletes from all 11 campuses have stepped forward to share their personal experiences with mental illness in a video which will be viewed conference-wide starting January 18 on the Bell Aliant FibreOP YouTube page.

鈥淭he AUS video delivers a powerful message that athletes experience mental health issues like anxiety and depression like everyone else,鈥� said Hannah Currie, member of the UNB Varsity Reds women鈥檚 basketball team. 鈥淗opefully hearing athletes speak out about mental health will give others courage to open up and reach out for help without fear.鈥�

Dr. Karen Murphy, Memorial University athletic director, agrees: 鈥淚t鈥檚 fantastic to see student鈥揳thletes come together to support all students on our respective campuses. This initiative is starting important conversations about mental health in classrooms, residences and sport facilities on campuses across the Atlantic provinces.鈥�

Join the conversation to drive mental health funding

Dr. Anne Muckle is fascinated by bugs, but not the kind that we see crawling on the ground or flying around our heads. She is interested in bacteria, those 鈥渢iny but mighty鈥� bugs鈥攇ood and bad鈥攖hat live in our external and internal environments.

An associate professor at the Atlantic Veterinary College at 秀色短视频, the quiet-spoken Muckle has guided hundreds of veterinary students through the intricacies of bacteriology. For her dedication to teaching and to her students, she has been awarded the Student American Veterinary Medical Association鈥檚 (SAVMA) 2016 Community Outreach and Education Award.

Through this award, students at veterinary colleges in Canada and the United States publicly acknowledge how faculty members, clinicians, and other people in the veterinary profession have gone above and beyond their professional responsibilities and duties to interact with, and make a difference in, the community鈥攆rom local to global.

Muckle was nominated for the award by SAVMA member Veronique Savoie-Dufour, a student in AVC鈥檚 Class of 2018.

"Dr. Muckle is the sort of professor you dream of as a kid,鈥� says Savoie-Dufour. 鈥淪he is not only incredibly knowledgeable in bacteriology, but she has an ease of explaining key concepts and their importance. Her upbeat personality makes it a joy to attend each of her classes, and she encourages active learning, requesting students to participate and ask questions.鈥�

Muckle鈥檚 presentations are concise and easy to understand, Savoie-Dufour says, and she adds an element of fun to her classes, using humour to help students learn and retain the material she is teaching. As well, Muckle expresses genuine concern for her students.

鈥淲hether it is in class or in the lab, her openness is engaging, and every student feels very comfortable approaching her for help.鈥�

Savoie-Dufour, who also works in Muckle鈥檚 lab, considers her professor to be a role model.

鈥淚 have learned so much from her, both in class and my time working in her lab.鈥� I am forever grateful to her for not only imparting important information for my veterinary career but also inspiring me, giving me a glimpse of what I aspire to be one day 鈥� a veterinary professor.鈥�

Muckle says her goal as a teacher is to optimise her students鈥� learning and to make a difference in their education鈥攖o give them a basic understanding of bacterial and fungal disease relevant to veterinary medicine. She credits three people with helping her to improve her presentations and teaching style: Dr. Mike Collins, University of Wisconsin鈥檚 School of Veterinary Medicine; Dr. Alfonso Lopez, now professor emeritus at AVC; and Dr. Susan Dawson, AVC Dept. Biomedical Sciences. In particular, she is indebted to Sally Goddard, educational consultant, AVC Office of Academic and Student Affairs, for her advice and support in developing "The Bare Bones Lecture."

Muckle will accept her award at the 2016 SAVMA Symposium in March at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames, Iowa.
