秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz issued a statement today on the passing of 秀色短视频 Founder and professor emeritus, Reverend Francis W.P. Bolger.

鈥淥n behalf of 秀色短视频 students, faculty, staff, and alumni, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Father Bolger,鈥� said 秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz.

During his career, Father Bolger was widely recognized as the unofficial "Dean of Island history," in large part because of his leading role in popularizing the academic study of Prince Edward Island history at the university level. At a time when only national histories were seen to matter, he lobbied 秀色短视频 to offer a course in the history of PEI.

鈥淭he entire 秀色短视频 community is saddened by Father Bolger鈥檚 passing, but is heartened that his tremendous contributions through his teaching, service, and dedication to Island history will be remembered forever. We are also so pleased that he was recognized and celebrated as a 秀色短视频 Founder just a week before his death,鈥� added President Abd-El-Aziz.

Father Bolger passed away at home in Charlottetown on September 28. Flags at the University will fly at half-mast until after his funeral on Tuesday, October 3 at St. Ann鈥檚 Church in Hope River.

秀色短视频 joined schools across the country recently to mark on September 29. Orange Shirt Day is an annual day of commemoration to continue the discussion about residential schools and their impacts.

鈥溞闵�短视频 students, staff, and faculty are really stepping up these days to recognize past injustices in Canada,鈥� said Dr. Ron MacDonald, dean of the Faculty of Education at 秀色短视频, which took the lead in the Orange Shirt Day events at 秀色短视频. 鈥淢ore than 350 people from 秀色短视频 and the community donned orange shirts as a way to honour residential school survivors during Orange Shirt Day. It is important to tangibly represent this support in this small way, as well as to keep this support every day of the year."

PEI oysters are popular worldwide and harvested year-round. But, what only insiders know is that hard labour is essential for growing healthy oysters.

Farmed oysters, which are grown in cages weighing up to 200 pounds each, need to be turned once to twice per week during the growing months for an average of five years. Oyster farms vary in size, from a couple of hundred cages to thousands of them.

Growers need employees who are physically strong enough to turn these heavy, awkward cages for up to 10 hours a day. Their cage-turning efforts discourage mussels, barnacles and algae build-up, which lets water circulate better and more food reach the oysters. This results in more appealing oysters that can garner higher prices.

As part of their studies at the 秀色短视频, a team of students has engineered a solution for oyster growers and producers. Jordan Sampson, Brett McDermott, and Dylan MacIsaac designed the answer: specially designed equipment that gently guides the oyster cages in a rollercoaster-like flip.

Their invention removes back-breaking labour from the equation. This is welcome news for the oyster industry, not only to save time and money, but also to address staff shortages by opening the labour pool to applicants who are less suited to physically demanding work.

As of winter 2017, Synapse Inc.鈥攚hich turns 秀色短视频 ideas into solutions for real-world problems鈥攕tepped up to help the students. Synapse evaluated the team鈥檚 technology, and having determined its merit, Synapse has worked closely with the team ever since. This included filing for a patent, and applying for and securing proof-of-concept and patent funding from Springboard Atlantic as well as startup funds from Innovation PEI鈥檚 Ignition Fund. Synapse will continue to support the team鈥檚 startup business, Island AquaTech, providing advice and mentorship as the business is formed and grows.

Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, 秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor, said, 鈥淪ynapse has been instrumental in protecting and advancing this Atlantic Canadian innovation. By supporting these students and the 秀色短视频 School of Sustainable Design Engineering, Synapse increases the likelihood that this engineering design will move into production to meet the needs of the economically important oyster industry.鈥�

The team created a true Maritimes solution. For the prototype, the team worked with numerous Island and Atlantic Canadian businesses, and intends to continue this approach as they move into production.

Next, the students plan to incorporate their company and refine their design for a production version. At this rate, the students will graduate with a degree, an invention to their name and a ready-made business. The world is their oyster.

鲍笔贰滨鈥檚 is hosting a two-day international symposium, October 5 and 6, entitled Adapting to a New Human Health Reality under Climate Change. The media are invited to the keynote presentation by the Honourable David MacDonald at 2 pm, October 5, in the Grafton Room, Rodd Charlottetown Hotel, 75 Kent Street, Charlottetown.

Global climate change is seen as one of the greatest threats to the future of humankind and the world. While climate mitigation strategies are necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from human-created sources, those alone are unlikely to be sufficient to eliminate the negative impacts of climate change. The impacts of climate change from emissions of greenhouse gases over the past 150 years will have to be confronted by all jurisdictions. Therefore, pursuing a complementary strategy of enabling jurisdictions to adapt to climate change and negate many of the expected adverse impacts is equally, if not more, urgent.

This symposium will examine the state-of-the-science with regards to climate change and human health, and allow discussions that will hopefully guide jurisdictions to develop and implement adaptation policy and build resilience to the effects of climate change. The symposium is organized around the key themes of emergency and disaster management; nutrition and food security; indigenous peoples鈥� health; perinatal health; vector-borne diseases; and air quality. It will bring together climate experts who may not have considered the significance of human health, and human health experts who may not have focused their attention on climate change. Together with an invited group of audience participants from government, industry, and non-governmental organizations, this symposium will address the pressing issue of climate change and human health in an action-oriented and policy-focused series of dialogues.

The Honourable David MacDonald grew up in Prince Edward Island. He is a graduate of Prince of Wales College, Dalhousie University, and Pine Hill Divinity Hall. He also holds several honorary degrees in law and divinity. He was ordained as a United Church Minister in June of 1961, serving as pastor of the United Church in Alberton, Prince Edward Island, from 1962 to 1965.

He was elected as a Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament in 1965, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1979, and 1988; first, as the representative for western PEI, and second, for Rosedale (Toronto Centre). In 1979, he was appointed Secretary of State, Minister of Communications, and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women. In June 1997, he was the NDP candidate for Toronto Centre鈥揜osedale. In 1984, he was appointed Canadian Emergency Coordinator/African Famine and, in 1986, Canadian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Sudan, and Djibouti.

From 1989鈥�1993, he chaired the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Environment, the ad hoc Parliamentary Committee on AIDS, and the House of Commons Liaison Committee. Since the early 1990s, he has been actively involved in a number of national and international organizations committed to just and sustainable communities, human rights, and peace. Since 2008, he has been a member of the Board of Directors for Faith and the Common Good, a national interfaith network and charitable organization. Since December 1998, he has served as Special Advisor on Indian Residential Schools for the United Church of Canada and, more recently, on Climate and Ocean Change.

鲍笔贰滨鈥檚 Department of History and the 秀色短视频 Faculty of Arts will present the documentary film Nasser's Republic, the Making of Modern Egypt at a screening Thursday, October 12 at 7 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of Don and Marion McDougall Hall. Director Michal Goldman will be on hand to present the film and field questions after the screening.

Nasser's Republic, the Making of Modern Egypt is the first film for North Americans to focus on Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of the Arab world鈥檚 most transformative and controversial leaders. In 1952, as an unknown young Egyptian colonel, Nasser led a coup that became a revolution. Over the next 18 years, he reshaped the Arab world, facing deep divisions among the Arabs and emerging as a titanic figure鈥攁 champion of Arab progress and African liberation. But what he could not offer was democracy; instead, he established the region鈥檚 first and much emulated military authoritarian regime. A man of enormous charisma and ambition, Nasser became caught in the coils of his own power, dying at 52 with his revolution uncompleted. The Arab Spring and its aftermath are his legacy.

Michal Goldman is an American documentary filmmaker. Her interest in Egypt goes back to the 1990s when she lived in Cairo for several years to produce her film 鈥�Umm Kulthum, A Voice Like Egypt.鈥� Several of her films have been nominated for Academy Awards. Her love for PEI dates back to 1970, when her parents bought a small farm in Mermaid.

The Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU) -  - in partnership with Medavie Health Foundation (Medavie) -  - has created a full-time Regional Coordinator position dedicated to supporting student mental health initiatives for post-secondary education (PSE) institutions across Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Elizabeth Cawley (see below for bio) has been appointed as the Regional Coordinator and was introduced by the AAU and Medavie representatives today at 鈥楩rom Survive to Thrive鈥�, a regional student mental conference hosted by Mount Allison University.

Medavie鈥檚 investment to create the Regional Coordinator position, which is also supported by the region鈥檚 16 universities and six community colleges, will increase capacity for further collaboration on challenges related to student mental health. Dr. Cawley serves the region鈥檚 PSE institutions from Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John鈥檚, NL.

鈥淔or the past five years, Medavie Health Foundation has been a highly supportive partner helping our universities and community colleges improve student mental health services鈥�, said Dr. Alaa Abd-El Aziz, President, 秀色短视频 and Chair, AAU.

He added that, 鈥淢eeting student mental health needs is one of the most pressing issues on our campuses.  With Medavie鈥檚 generous support, the AAU is fortunate to have attracted someone of Dr. Cawley鈥檚 background and experience to help our institutions meet student needs as efficiently and effectively as possible.鈥�

鈥淲e recognize that post-secondary life can be challenging for students鈥�, commented Bernard Lord, CEO, Medavie. 鈥淭his new position will help enhance mental health initiatives at campuses across the region, helping our students not just survive, but thrive. It鈥檚 also an example of a different kind of health care - one that begins on campus in helping students stay in school and live their best lives. Ensuring people receive the right support at the right time aligns with the way Medavie thinks about health care.鈥�

Dr. Peter Cornish, Director, Associate Professor, and Director of Memorial Counselling and Wellness Centre, Memorial University and Co-Chair, AAU student mental health committee, summarized the value of the newly created position to universities and colleges:  鈥淭hrough the synergy of our Atlantic-wide collaboration, we are poised to lead the country with innovative, highly engaging wellness programming. This aligns very well with the collective academic mission to prepare the next generation to thrive and lead with passion, purpose and an ethic of care.鈥�

Dr. Elizabeth Cawley is currently the Regional Mental Health Coordinator for the Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU). Dr. Cawley received her PhD in Psychiatry from McGill University. Her research focuses on help-seeking behaviour in post-secondary students and developing online strategies to increase early help-seeking via mental health literacy and self-assessment. Dr. Cawley has consulted at a number of top Canadian universities, assisting them with the development and implementation of their mental health strategies. In addition, Dr. Cawley was recently selected to participate in a Kids Help Phone Advisory Group. This Advisory Group was designed to be multidisciplinary and acts to inform the Board of Directors on relevant topics; Dr. Cawley specializes in the area of Service Design.

Students from 鲍笔贰滨鈥檚 Faculty of Business have kicked off the 2017鈥�18 case competition season with a win. Teams from 秀色短视频 took first and third place at the Atlantic Schools of Business (ASB) Case Competition, which is part of the 47^th annual ASB Conference: one of Canada鈥檚 longest running academic business conferences, this year held at Acadia University.

秀色短视频 competed against teams from Dalhousie University, Saint Mary鈥檚 University, Crandall University, Cape Breton University, and Acadia University. The first-place team consisted of Alex Dunne (fourth-year BBA, accounting specialization), Sydney Gallant (fourth-year BBA, finance specialization), and Callum Wood (fourth-year BBA, accounting specialization). The third-place team included Shanna Blacquiere (third-year BBA, accounting specialization), Jacob Ezeard (third-year BBA), and Zach Geldert (fourth-year BA, sociology major).

鈥淚t was great to be able to compete with the other 秀色短视频 team and to have such a good team-building experience,鈥� said Sydney Gallant.

Friday, September 29 at noon, students received a business case (a narrative about a real business and the problems it faces) they had never seen before. They then had 18 hours to analyze the case and create a solution with the option of using the Internet and textbooks as research aids. At 8:00 am the next morning, students submitted their presentations. Each team then presented their solution to a panel of academic and industry professionals for 15 minutes, directly followed by a five-minute question period.

Feedback from the judges panel indicated 秀色短视频 students showed an excellent understanding of the concepts and problems presented in the case and their presentations stood out for being comprehensive and creative. This great finish marks the third consecutive first-place win for 秀色短视频 at the ASB.
