New AVC Winter Webinars to begin in February

Euthanasia is one of the most difficult issues facing veterinarians and their clients. Starting on February 23, the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) will launch a new webinar series that will provide continuing education (CE) credits to veterinarians and animal health technicians.

Presenter Dr. Caroline Hewson will share practical and evidence-based training and resources that she has developed for end-of-life care for animals and for minimizing stress in animals when they are hospitalized.

After six years in mixed practice in the United Kingdom (UK), Hewson obtained her PhD from the University of Guelph in 1997. From 2000 to 2006, she served as the first Research Chair in Animal Welfare at AVC. During her tenure as chair, she initiated the animal welfare column in the Canadian Veterinary Journal, AVC鈥檚 annual Animal Welfare in Practice conference, and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association鈥檚 practical posters on analgesia.

After returning to the UK, Hewson was nominated Pet Plan Vet of the Year in 2008. In 2013 she created 鈥淭he Loss of Your Pet鈥 client-care packs, which are designed to help veterinary practices to assist their clients in dealing with euthanasia. She delivers evidence-based webinars, in-person training, and resources to help veterinary practices bridge the support gap with bereaved clients and minimize the risk of vet-client disputes about patients鈥 end-of-life.

Participants will receive three hours of continuing education (CE) credits for the complete series, or one hour of CE for each webinar. There is a small registration fee for veterinarians and animal health technicians. Veterinary students can participate free of charge. For information and to register, please visit

Strings Attached II

秀色短视频 Clarinet Professor Karem J Simon will collaborate with the Atlantic String Machine in an intimate evening of chamber music on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 7:30 pm in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall at 秀色短视频. This performance will present two of the most revered chamber works for clarinet and string quartet by Carl Maria von Weber and Johannes Brahms.

The von Weber is a virtuosic work for clarinet exploiting both its technical capabilities and expressive potential. It happens to be among the first works composed for this medium, written for von Weber鈥檚 friend, clarinetist Heinrich Baermann, a leading player of the early nineteenth century. In contrast, the Brahms is more introspective, filled with technical, rhythmic, and harmonic complexity. Brahms, who was inspired to write this work for clarinetist Richard M眉hlfeld, treats all five parts equally in producing a highly expressive and emotional work that has been deemed to be among the finest chamber pieces. 

Formed in 2015, the Atlantic String Machine is comprised of some of the finest string musicians in Atlantic Canada. The quartet from this ensemble consists of Sean Kemp and Karen Graves, violins; Jeffrey Bazett-Jones, viola; and, Natalie Williams Calhoun, cello. Since its inception, the ASM has been very active infusing the island with classical and contemporary chamber music with considerable dynamic flare. That they are integrating their practice with leading Atlantic Canadian artists 鈥 Duane Andrews and Sirens, among them 鈥 is indicative of the esteem with which this ensemble is held.

Karem J Simon is known for his wide body of work as a clarinetist, conductor, and educator.

Tickets for this recital [$15 Adults & $10 Seniors/Students] may be acquired at the 秀色短视频 Music Department and at the admissions desk prior to performance.

 

秀色短视频 case team repeats success at international competition

Luke Gaudet (fourth-year BBA with accounting specialization) and Hannah Dawson (third-year BBA) have added to the growing list of successes for 秀色短视频 case students this season. The two students recently won third place in the final round of the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC) at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, from January 14鈥16. ICBC is Canada's longest-running undergraduate business case competition, which features eight different events in which students can compete (accounting, strategy, ethics, debating, finance, human resources, marketing, and management of information systems).

In October 2015, 秀色短视频 competed in the preliminary round of ICBC in the marketing category against over 60 teams from business schools around the world. Students analyzed a case detailing real-world problems that a business was experiencing and provided a written case analysis. 秀色短视频鈥檚 strong showing in the preliminary round earned them an invitation to the final round to compete against Okanagan College, Queen鈥檚 University, University of Regina, University of Toronto (St. George campus), and Trent University.

鈥淭he preliminary round competition is extremely fierce. With over 60 Canadian and international schools competing, securing a spot in the top six is already an amazing accomplishment,鈥 said Case Competition Program Coordinator and Coach Mary Whitrow.

During the final round in Kingston, students were again tasked with assessing a case they had never seen before, analyzing available information, and crafting a strategic marketing solution in only 5.5 hours. They then had 15 minutes to present their solution to a judging panel of academic and industry professionals, and then an additional five minutes to answer the judges鈥 questions and defend their recommendations. This process is rigorous and forces students to think quickly and critically about their solutions. 鈥淚CBC was an incredible learning experience,鈥 said Hannah Dawson.

Luke competed in ICBC last year in the strategy event, where he and his teammates received third place. 鈥淚CBC was a fantastic experience once again. It was a pleasure to work alongside such a great teammate, and I cannot thank our coach and advisors enough for their tremendous support.鈥

Juergen Krause, Dean of the 秀色短视频 School of Business, knows that the case team is an important program for not just the School of Business, but all of 秀色短视频. 鈥淭hese students are representing 秀色短视频 and improving our reputation worldwide. We are proud of our students.鈥

The students appreciate all the support they have received from faculty and staff at the 秀色短视频 School of Business. 鈥淲e are very thankful for this program and to have been given such an opportunity.鈥 said Luke.

Congratulations team!

President's Message: 秀色短视频 School of Sustainable Design Engineering update

Dear Members of the University Community,

A New Year brings new, exciting challenges and opportunities, and 2016 is promising to be a year of monumental achievement in the history of both 秀色短视频 and the province of Prince Edward Island.

It is with great excitement that I write with the latest update on the construction of 秀色短视频鈥檚 new School of Sustainable Design Engineering. I invited the 秀色短视频 Board of Governors to tour the facility yesterday prior to their regular meeting. Associate Dean of Engineering Nicholas Krouglicof and I donned our steel-toed boots to show off a point of pride and innovative development at 秀色短视频. I know it is safe to say that our board members were duly impressed.

from our tour, as well as a previous visit by the Honourable Richard Brown, Minister of Workforce and Advanced Learning.

It is easy to be awestruck with the pace of construction, and if you drive or walk by the site regularly, I am sure you have seen firsthand how quickly our state-of-the-art 76,000 square foot building has been progressing. The exterior is now complete and trades are well along on the interior. And, I am pleased to report that the building is on budget and on schedule to welcome students in September 2016.

This facility, and the progressive teaching and learning it houses, will be where innovation meets action. Once completed, there will be many fascinating features including a green roof, roof-mounted wind energy array, and photovoltaic (solar panel) array. The interior will include industry partner labs, ideation spaces, design studios, and a signature 鈥渓earning stairwell.鈥

The project is also remarkable because approximately 96 per cent of the labour force tasked with design and construction is local. I would like to thank the PEI companies who have contributed to date:

  • Island Coastal Services
  • Southern Kings Construction
  • MacDougall Steel
  • Arsenault Brothers
  • A49 Architecture
  • MCM Bricklayers
  • Ashe Roofing
  • Bevan Brothers
  • Hansen Electric
  • Island Steel
  • Tile Master
  • Constable Painting
  • MCA Consultants
  • Richardson Associates

Please also join me in thanking and congratulating the hardworking teams who made this achievement possible: 秀色短视频 Faculty of Science and 秀色短视频 School of Sustainable Design Engineering faculty and staff, administrative staff from across campus, students, the industry advisory committee, and our government partners. So many have worked diligently to build this inspiring facility that will positively affect countless lives through the design of sustainable solutions for challenges in our local, regional, and global communities. The 秀色短视频 School of Sustainable Design Engineering will lead to immeasurable benefits in the fields of science and engineering for many years to come.

I am so excited and look forward to sharing more 秀色短视频 School of Sustainable Design Engineering success stories with you, the country, and the world.

Best wishes,


Alaa

Panther Sports Medicine has new physiotherapist team

秀色短视频 Director of Athletics and Recreation Chris Huggan welcomed Marc MacDonald last week as the new operator of Panther Sports Medicine. The entire 秀色短视频 community was rocked last year when the Panthers beloved chief physiotherapist Ralph Manning passed away suddenly.

"It has been a challenging few months for all of us (coaches, athletes and staff) as we have grieved Ralph's death and tried to carry on without his services. We are so pleased that Marc MacDonald acquired Ralph鈥檚 business in December and welcome him and his reactive health team to the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre,鈥 said Huggan. 鈥淚 know they are excited about the opportunity and are committed to providing high quality services at the clinic and for our student-athletes."

A Registered Physiotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience across a wide scope of the rehabilitation profession, MacDonald and his wife Lana, also a Registered Physiotherapist, worked throughout Florida for many years with one of the largest healthcare companies in the United States, focusing primarily in sports orthopaedics and rehabilitation. Their tender with this company allowed them to work closely with many orthopaedic surgeons servicing NHL, NFL, PGA, university, and community athletes.

The couple and their two children returned to PEI in 2009 to be closer to family and opened their private practice, reactive health, shortly thereafter. Marcel MacDonald, a 秀色短视频 alumnus, joined them in 2012 as a partner. His first position as a Registered Physiotherapist was at the 秀色短视频 Sports Centre.

Trevor Dunphy, Resident Physiotherapist, is also a 秀色短视频 alumnus and former varsity athlete who will begin work at Panther Sports Medicine as part of the reactive health team. Dunphy is extremely excited to 鈥済ive back鈥 to the community that treated him so well when he was playing soccer for 秀色短视频.

鈥淥n behalf of everyone at reactive health, we are extremely excited to represent Panther Sports Medicine and to continue to provide rehabilitative services to the University,鈥 said Marc MacDonald. 鈥淲e all have a deep respect for Ralph Manning and what he contributed to the scope of our profession as well as to the Panther community. We hope to build upon his legacy.鈥

秀色短视频 Founder, beloved professor and alumnus Joseph 鈥淛oe鈥 Revell dies

The 秀色短视频 extends its condolences on the passing of 秀色短视频 Founder John Joseph 鈥淛oe鈥 Revell after learning of his death yesterday after a brief illness. He was 80 years old.

The name 鈥淛oe Revell鈥 is one that is very familiar to those who know 秀色短视频. Professor Revell had a distinguished and memorable career in the 秀色短视频 School of Business acting as the first Dean and Chair. He easily stepped into the role of a university professor and as a former graduate of both Prince of Wales College (1955) and Saint Dunstan's University (1957), he was no stranger to the campus.

秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz said, 鈥淥ur University has lost a great friend in Joe. Not only was he a long-time Professor and former Dean of the 秀色短视频 School of Business, he also continued to support 秀色短视频 in retirement. He was a champion of many community causes and served on the 秀色短视频 Board of Governors for many years. I remember when I first arrived at 秀色短视频, Joe welcomed me and provided such great support. I will always appreciate his generosity of spirit and wisdom.鈥

鈥淥n behalf of the entire 秀色短视频 community, I pass on my most sincere sympathies to Joe鈥檚 wife Jeanie; children Jim, Dan, and Janice; family, friends, and colleagues,鈥 added President Abd-El-Aziz.

Professor Revell retired from the 秀色短视频 School of Business in 2000 after 35 years as a teacher and administrator with both SDU and 秀色短视频. He served as chair of the department from 1968-78, Dean from 1981-87, and again from 1996-98. Professor Revell served as a member of the University Senate and was Chairman of the University Athletic Board鈥攁nd up until recently, he never missed a 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey home game. He was on the 秀色短视频 Board of Governors from 2005 until 2012 and was named a 秀色短视频 Founder in 2001.

As was noted during the 2001 Founders Ceremony, Joe led 秀色短视频 and the School of Business through its developing years with dedication, vision, hard work, and a general interest in the well being of his students. He believed that positive communication was key and said, 鈥渟tudents bring an enthusiasm and inquisitiveness which can be a great deal of fun.鈥 Professor Revell was often heard encouraging his students, calling them by name, helping out in any way he could, and as one colleague recalled, "he was always up for a friendly game of golf.鈥

Memorial donations may be made to the J.J. Revell Business Scholarship at 秀色短视频 by phoning 902-894-2888; visiting 秀色短视频's secure, online (please note the award name in the "Designate Your Gift" section); or mailing Kim Roach, 秀色短视频 Development and Alumni Engagement, 秀色短视频, 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4P3.  are entrusted to the Belvedere Funeral Home in Charlottetown. 秀色短视频 will lower its flags to half-mast in his memory.

 

秀色短视频 President Abd-El-Aziz signs MOUs while on trade mission to India

秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz signed two memorandums of understanding so far this week, with Chitkara University and Punjab Agricultural University, as part of an Ontario-PEI trade mission to India.

The 秀色短视频 is accompanying provincial government and Island business representatives to four cities: Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. During the six-day mission, President Abd-El-Aziz and Director of International Relations Barbara Campbell will visit 12 universities in these four cities to develop new partnerships in research and teaching.

President Abd-El-Aziz says he is encouraged by the signing of MOUs with the first two universities that he has met with, and expects more agreements could be signed before the end of his visit.

鈥淥ur overall goal on this mission is to begin the process of recruiting both undergraduate and graduate students to 秀色短视频,鈥 commented President Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淎s the country with the fastest-growing GDP and the world鈥檚 second-most-populous country, we cannot ignore India. 秀色短视频 has almost doubled its percentage of international students in the last five years to twenty per cent of our student body. We now have close to 860 students from 70 countries, but there is tremendous growth potential with India as we currently have only nine Indian students studying at 秀色短视频.鈥

The 秀色短视频 and Chitkara University, in Chandigarh, renewed an MOU for the purposes of furthering cooperation in education and academic fields to explore the establishment of exchange programs and collaborative research/study opportunities for both students and faculty members. They agreed to work together in the areas of engineering, business, science, mathematical and computational sciences, nursing, environmental studies, and leadership and culture.

The University Prince Edward Island and Punjab Agricultural University, in Ludhiana, signed an MOU to collaborate in programming and research for sustainable design engineering and plant biology.

President Abd-El-Aziz and Dr. Campbell have joined Premier Wade MacLauchlan and Minister Heath MacDonald along with representatives from Aspin Kemp and Associates, Coles Associates, Portsmouth Atlantic on the mission to India. The joint mission with Ontario is intended to confirm recent Indian business investments in Prince Edward Island and generate new investment as part of ongoing efforts to promote Prince Edward Island goods, services, and expertise.

鈥淭his opportunity to participate with the Province of PEI on this mission to India is a great boost to our recruitment and partnership development efforts in this emerging market,鈥 added President Abd-El-Aziz.

Panthers push for playoff spot against playoff-bound teams

With only four games remaining in the regular season, the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey Panthers face a tough test this weekend, as they look to solidify their playoff positioning.

Having clinched postseason berths already, the Acadia Axemen (17-5-2) and the Saint Mary鈥檚 Huskies (15-7-2) travel to the Island鈥檚 capital with hopes of spoiling 秀色短视频鈥檚 chances to compete for an AUS title.

鈥淲e鈥檙e still fighting and we have to scratch and claw for everything just to get in,鈥 said head coach Forbes MacPherson of the Panthers鈥 pursuit for a playoff spot.

With three teams jockeying for the two remaining spots, every point matters. The fifth-place Panthers hold a slim two-point lead over Universit茅 de Moncton, while Dalhousie trails by only six.

鈥淭here is so much parity in this league that we鈥檙e not taking anything for granted,鈥 said MacPherson.

The Panthers are hoping to build off a weekend split where they lost a close 2-1 battle against the first-place UNB Varsity Reds, but came back the following day to defeat the St. Thomas Tommies 6-3.

On Friday night, 秀色短视频 hosts a powerful Acadia squad that features three top-10 scorers in forwards Mike Cazzola (27 points), Brett Thompson (26 points) and defenceman Matthew Pufahl (25 points).

At this point in the season, MacPherson said his team has to fight through fatigue and come out focused and energized if they want to stay competitive against the league鈥檚 best.

鈥淵ou wait 11 months a year to get to this part of the season and we expect our group to be ready to go every game.鈥

Completing the back-to-back weekend, the Panthers face the red-hot Saint Mary鈥檚 Huskies in Saturday evening鈥檚 matchup.The Huskies won nine of their last 10 games and field a strong defensive unit led by goaltender Cole Cheveldave, who is 10-7 with a 2.20 goals against average 鈥 good for second best in the league.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e built to win this year and they鈥檙e really coming into their own in the second half of the season.鈥

Puck drops Friday at 7 pm against the Acadia Axemen and again Saturday versus the Saint Mary鈥檚 Huskies. Both games are at MacLauchlan Arena.

Saturday, February 6, also marks the annual 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Hockey Alumni Night.

The four-team mini-tournament begins at 4 pm at MacLauchlan Arena and will feature alumni players competing against one another for bragging rights. Each game is 20 minutes long.

Leading up to the 秀色短视频-SMU game that night are on-ice introductions of former Panthers, followed by a reception at the south end of the arena.
