Dr. Sarah Gallagher, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario, will be at 秀色短视频 as part of the 2017 Canadian Association of Physicists Lecture Tour. Her talk, 鈥淭he Biggest Blowhards: Windy Supermassive Black Holes,鈥� is Wednesday, March 22 at 4:30 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of 秀色短视频鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall. All are welcome.

Supermassive black holes reside in the centres of every massive galaxy including our own Milky Way. In relatively brief spurts, black holes grow as luminous quasars through the infall of material through an accretion disk. Remarkably, the light from the accretion disk can outshine all of the stars in the host galaxy by a factor of a thousand, and this radiation can also drive energetic outflows. Mass ejection in the form of winds appears to be fundamental to quasar activity and can be directly observed in many objects with broadened and blue-shifted UV emission and absorption features.

Dr. Gallagher will describe our model of the dusty wind and evaluate its successes and shortcomings in accounting for observed properties of quasars such their mid-infrared power and the fraction of hidden objects.

Sarah Gallagher is currently an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Western Ontario. Prior to that, she was an assistant research astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on investigating the nature of winds from luminous quasars (accreting supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies) using observatories covering the infrared to the X-ray, including two of NASA鈥檚 Great Observatories, Spitzer and Chandra.

Four faculties at the 秀色短视频 have announced a joint initiative that will support efforts to indigenize the curriculum. This is another step being undertaken by the University to honour its commitment to the recommendations and calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.

The Faculty of Education, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, and School of Nursing will create The Sisters鈥� Teaching and Knowledge Garden, a place where ancient seeds of knowledge are planted and where new knowledge is sown and grown.

鈥淭his new knowledge,鈥� says President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, 鈥渨ill be centred on infusing Indigenous 鈥榳ays of knowing鈥� into the academy, as well as supporting Indigenous students on their journey to and through post-secondary education.鈥�

As with Indigenous ways of knowing鈥攚here silos of understanding do not exist since everything is connected鈥斝闵�短视频鈥檚 Garden will be interdisciplinary and inclusive in nature.

President Abd-El-Aziz adds, 鈥淭he Garden will nourish many aspects of 秀色短视频 and will be tended to by the Faculty of Education鈥檚 Dr. John Doran, along with three new faculty members who will be cross-appointed to the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, and School of Nursing, as well as by students, faculty, and staff from across campus.鈥�

The 秀色短视频 Faculty of Education has a long tradition of dedicating energy and resources to create programming to support Indigenous students and conducting research for the sake of Indigenous peoples. The Faculty recently hired Dr. Doran as assistant professor of Indigenous Education and Social Studies. Along with the three new faculty to be hired, he will engage in activities to rethink and reimagine how the University鈥檚 curriculum can change to include Indigenous ways of teaching, learning, living, and knowing.

Many First Nations peoples believe that life is a circle, and a garden, along with the metaphor of sisters, is often given as an example to demonstrate this cyclical pattern. Traditionally, the "sisters" were themselves corn, squash, and beans who came to the support and aid of one another. Just as the Indigenous sisters nourished one another, the four 秀色短视频 faculty 鈥渟isters鈥� will join together to grow the collective vision for the University to enhance programming and deepen and spread the engagement of Indigenous ways of learning throughout the campus.

BACKGROUNDER: Federal budget highlights for post-secondary education

Research and innovation
鈥� Canada鈥檚 universities look forward to the release of the final report of the Review of Federal Support for Fundamental Science. This report is expected to provide the government with an important opportunity to send a clear signal to all Canadians, and to the world, of its commitment to regain leadership among OECD countries for investments in university research.
鈥� Last year, the granting councils received the highest amount of new annual funding for discovery research in over a decade. The Review of Federal Support is expected to lay the groundwork for future federal budgets with respect to reinvestments in the granting councils.
鈥� The Canada Foundation for Innovation, based on the major investment made in Budget 2015, is able to continue its current programming with no impact on the university community. The Review of Federal Support will be very important in setting expected directions on sustained investment in research infrastructure in Budget 2018.
鈥� Health researchers will benefit from new funding to CIHR to partner with federal departments on climate change and the effect of the opioids crisis.
鈥� Canada鈥檚 universities welcome the federal government鈥檚 commitment to fund the Canada 150 Research Chairs program. This program will help attract 25 top researchers from around the world to Canada鈥檚 universities and enhance Canada鈥檚 reputation as a global centre for innovation, science and research excellence.
鈥� Recent events in the United States and United Kingdom provide an unprecedented opportunity to attract leading researchers to strengthen our skills, research and innovation performance.
鈥� We welcome new investments in Canada鈥檚 Innovation and Skills Plan. Canada鈥檚 universities play a key role in driving our innovation ecosystem for an inclusive and prosperous future. We are pleased that the role of universities as partners with business is reflected in Budget 2017 strategy for innovation superclusters.

Talent mobilization
鈥� Global Skills Strategy: The work-permit exemption for brief academic stays under the government鈥檚 Global Skills Strategy is a welcome initiative that will facilitate the arrival of leading international researchers to our campuses.
鈥� Skills development: The launch of a new organization to support skills development and measurement in Canada reflects the importance of preparing Canadians to meet future labour force needs. Universities play a vital role in equipping all Canadians, through continued education and lifelong learning, with the skills they need to adapt to shifting economic demands and make a meaningful contribution to unlocking innovation and driving Canada鈥檚 growth.
鈥� Work integrated learning: Funding of $221 million over five years towards Mitacs鈥� goal of providing 10,000 work-integrated learning placements for Canadian postsecondary students and graduates each year is an important step in providing more Canadian students with valuable hands-on experience outside the classroom and research labs.

Indigenous higher education
鈥� Indigenous education continues to be an urgent national priority. The federal government will increase funding to the Post-Secondary Student Support Program by $90 million over two years to support over 4,600 Indigenous students access higher education.
鈥� Canada鈥檚 universities strongly welcome new federal investments of $5 million over five years to support Indigenous students across the country through Indspire scholarships and bursaries.

秀色短视频鈥檚 Faculty of Business sent two teams to the Alberta Not-For-Profit Association (ANPA) Case Competition, and one came home with second-place honours. The competition was the faculty鈥檚 fourth competition of the season.

Hosted by the University of Alberta School of Business in Edmonton, the ANPA competition is the only international, not-for-profit-focused case competition for undergraduate students in Canada. Similar to other case competitions, it encompasses elements of strategy, marketing, finance, accounting, etc., but it focuses on the unique challenges of the not-for-profit world. Students must consider and balance the social mission of the organization, as well as its financial goals. Competitors must find creative, resourceful, and practical solutions鈥攁nd do it with the limited resources of a not-for-profit organization.

Team one from 秀色短视频 was made up of Alex Dunne, Andrew Chapman, Kate Kinsman, and Sydney Gallant. Team two included Carter MacDonald, Shanna Blacquiere, Krista Lee Oliver, and Brodie Watts.

鈥淎NPA was a great opportunity to apply our knowledge to a real-life not for profit organization,鈥� said Gallant. 鈥淧reparing for this competition challenged us to learn about the concepts we study in class apply to not-for-profit organizations.鈥�

On the first day of the competition, students attended a panel presentation and learned about the not-for-profit sector in Alberta. They took part in a poverty simulation, which educated participants about the day-to-day realities of life with little money and an abundance of stress.

The 鈥榗ase partner鈥� for the competition was the YMCA of Northern Alberta (YNAB). Students toured the YMCA facilities in downtown Edmonton, where they were able to interact with employees and get acquainted with the organization before participating in a 鈥榣ive鈥� case competition, working on a real and current problem of the YNAB.

鈥淜nowing that the organization was currently looking for our help made the experience that much more exciting and worthwhile,鈥� said Oliver.

Students had 24 hours to analyze and prepare a solution to the case. During that period, they had access to the Internet and textbooks, but were allowed no communication outside of the members of their respective teams. Teams were given 15 minutes to present their solution, and an additional seven to answer judges鈥� questions and defend their recommendations.

秀色短视频鈥檚 team one successfully made it to the final round, where they gave their presentation again, this time with ten minutes for questions and defense. The team took a respectable second place, finishing behind a team from the University of Regina.

鈥淭he students understood that they needed to shift their mindset when working with a non-profit organization,鈥� said Mary Whitrow, case competition program coordinator and coach. 鈥淭hey were able to create insightful and practical solutions for the YNAB that also achieved an excellent result for 秀色短视频.

鈥淲e can all be proud of our case teams and the results they were able to achieve at the ANPA Case Competition,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, dean of the Faculty of Business. 鈥淐ongratulations to the team for representing 秀色短视频 so well.鈥�

As part of the prizes for the ANPA Case Competition, teams who finish first, second, or third are given the opportunity to donate $5,000, $3,000, or $1,000 respectively to the charity of their choice. The unrestricted grant is provided by the event鈥檚 title sponsor, the Muttart Foundation.

秀色短视频鈥檚 team chose to direct its donation to Parkinson Canada, because a member of Kate Kinsman鈥檚 lives with Parkinson鈥檚 disease. Her teammates chose to donate to this charity in advance of the competition, but didn鈥檛 tell her until after their win.

鈥淚 want to thank all the ANPA organizers and the Muttart Foundation for the opportunity to give this generous donation to Parkinson Canada,鈥� said Kinsman.

The 秀色短视频 Wind Symphony presents its final performance of the 2016-2017 academic year featuring a diverse set of pieces designed to showcase the colour of the modern wind band. The performance will be held Friday, March 31 at 7:30 pm at Park Royal United Church in Charlottetown. Following the success of last semester鈥檚 recital at Park Royal, the Wind Symphony returns for its acoustic beauty and to ensure that all of its supporters can be accommodated.

The program will open with a fanfare, Through the Looking Glass, by the American composer Jess Turner. Another feature, Summer Dances by Englishman Adam Gorb, is a joyful work in three short movements celebrating his favourite season. Phillip Sparke鈥檚 Sunrise at Angel's Gate is a programmatic work which attempts to describe the sounds at dawn at the Grand Canyon.

The centrepiece of the program will be an electro-acoustic piece by American Eli Fieldsteel titled Singularity. This piece is inspired by the idea of technological singularity as explored by Ray Kurzweil, Isaac Asimov, and other scientific writers. The piece outlines a narrative of interaction between organic life, as represented by the acoustic instruments, and non-organic life, represented by the electronic sound. The recital will conclude with Australian Percy Grainger鈥檚 Handel in the Strand, a multi-layered work based on folk songs.

This year鈥檚 Wind Symphony is in fine form having recently presented this program to a capacity audience at the Halifax Central Library鈥檚 Paul O'Regan Hall. Two graduating seniors, Aidan Tremblett (trumpet) and Daniel MacDonald (trombone), have had distinguished tenures with the Wind Symphony, for which this will be their final 秀色短视频 recital.

Tickets at $15 Adults/Seniors and $10 Students may be acquired at the music department, at the admissions desk prior to the performance, or online at .
