The Association of Atlantic Universities (AAU) announced the recipients of its region awards for excellence in teaching and education leadership. Among the honourees was Dr. Greg Doran, chair and associate professor of English at 秀色短视频 and coordinator of 秀色短视频鈥檚 theatre studies program.

Dr. Doran received the 2018 AAU Distinguished Teaching Award recognizing outstanding teaching over a number of years. From the award citation:

Dr. Greg Doran has influenced and inspired countless students with his energy, enthusiasm, and passion. Anyone who knows him knows that what he believes about his work 鈥� that his 鈥榮uccess as a teacher lies in the success of [his] students鈥� 鈥� is precisely true. Despite the glowing comments his students make about him as a teacher, and even though a number of his students have gone on to prestigious theatre programs, Greg humbly disavows doing anything other than leading students in the right direction. But, of course, he does much more than that.

In Dr. Doran鈥檚 fourteen years at 秀色短视频, he has developed, revised, and taught an impressive number and range of courses in both the English and Theatre programs. As the sole member of the Theatre Studies Program, he is responsible for all theatre education at the university, and his excellent student productions are highlights of every academic year. And, as he himself says, his experience directing student actors has influenced his teaching as well: 鈥楯ust as no two actors can be directed the same way,鈥� he says, 鈥業 try to find the best ways to encourage the success of students, which often means being very flexible and trying different approaches in the classroom.鈥� This flexibility is one of the qualities most often praised in his student evaluations.

鈥淚 congratulate Dr. Doran on receiving this prestigious award,鈥� said President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淕reg is a wonderful example of what we strive to be as professors. His enthusiasm, passion, and creativity, along with his tireless commitment to improving learning for students, are to be commended. The entire 秀色短视频 community is extremely proud to see him recognized in this deserving manner.鈥�

Congratulations, Dr. Doran!

Sophie Carragher is a second-year kinesiology student from Stratford, PEI and a second-row flanker on the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Rugby team. The Panthers beat Saint Mary鈥檚 University over the weekend in a 25鈥�12 game, where Carragher scored a try. 鈥淪ophie had a strong game for us,鈥� said coach John LaBoyne. 鈥淗er line-breaks and speed set the team up for further play down the field. Her try came off a very dominant Panther scrum鈥擲ophie picked from her #8 position and dove over the line.鈥�

Ignacio Sanchez is a fourth-year business administration student from Cornwall, PEI and is captain of the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Soccer team. The Panthers dropped a pair of games over the weekend to Cape Breton University and St. Francis Xavier University, but coach Lewis Page said Sanchez showed leadership on and off the field. 鈥淣acho Sanchez was excellent in both road games this weekend,鈥� said Page. 鈥淗is tireless running enabled him to contribute both on the attached and defense with a box-to-box performance.鈥�

The Honourable Catherine Callbeck will be installed as the ninth Chancellor of the 秀色短视频 on Saturday, September 29. Dr. Callbeck is a retired business leader and senator, and former premier of the province of Prince Edward Island. The native of Central Bedeque, PEI, was unanimously elected to the volunteer position earlier this year by 秀色短视频鈥檚 Board of Governors.

As Chancellor, Callbeck will preside over the University鈥檚 Convocation ceremonies each spring, conferring degrees, diplomas, and certificates.

Callbeck has had a long and active involvement in business, politics, and charitable and public service groups at all levels, and has received many honours for her contributions.

She received her early education in Central Bedeque and Summerside, and went on to earn commerce and education degrees Mount Allison University and Dalhousie University respectively. After a period of teaching, Callbeck returned to PEI where she became involved with her family鈥檚 business鈥擟allbeck's Limited and Callbeck's Furniture.

She was the second woman ever elected to the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island and, from 1974-78, served as the first female Minister of Health and Social Services, Minister Responsible for the Disabled, and Minister Responsible for Non-Status Indians. In 1978 she left politics and returned to her family鈥檚 business.

In 1988, she re-entered politics, this time on the federal level. She was the first woman elected as the Member of Parliament for Malpeque, making her the second woman ever to be elected to the House of Commons from PEI. She returned to provincial politics in 1993 when she was elected Leader of the Liberal Party of PEI, and soon after, became the first woman in Canada to be elected as premier of a province. In 1997, she was called to the Senate of Canada where she served until her retirement in July 2014.

Callbeck was named a member of the Order of Canada in 2015 and Order of PEI in 2017 and holds honorary doctor of laws degrees from both Mount Allison University (1996) and the 秀色短视频 (2015).

Callbeck replaces 秀色短视频鈥檚 eighth chancellor Dr. Don McDougall. She is the second woman to hold the post; Doris H. Anderson was 秀色短视频鈥檚 first female University Chancellor from 1992鈥�96.

The 秀色短视频 prides itself on people, excellence, and impact and is committed to assisting students reach their full potential in both the classroom and community. With roots stemming from two founding institutions鈥擯rince of Wales College and Saint Dunstan鈥檚 University鈥斝闵�短视频 has a reputation for academic excellence, research innovation, and creating positive impacts locally, nationally, and internationally. 秀色短视频 is the only degree granting institution in the province and is proud to be a key contributor to the growth and prosperity of Prince Edward Island.

The following is released by the 秀色短视频, in co-ordination with research institutions across the country, as participants and co-investigators on the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL)

The results from a large national research project led by the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group (HALO) at the CHEO Research Institute shows that about two-thirds of Canadian children haven鈥檛 achieved an acceptable level of physical literacy. Physical literacy moves beyond just fitness or motor skill; it includes the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.

Fourteen articles that looked at different aspects of physical literacy and the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL) were published today as a special supplement in the journal . More than 10,000 children, aged eight to 12, from 11 sites across the country participated in the study through the CHEO Research Institute and research partners. Using the CAPL, children were assessed on a number of different areas.

The results demonstrate that more needs to be done to ensure Canadian children are physically literate. 鈥淲e hear about increasing obesity rates in kids, falling rates of physical activity and more time spent in front of screens,鈥� says Dr. Mark Tremblay, Senior Scientist at the CHEO Research Institute and Director for HALO. 鈥淧hysical literacy looks at different domains in children to give a better overall picture of children鈥檚 healthy active living and future health. Physically literate children become more active and healthy children, which sets them up for life.鈥� 

Two of the articles published today were led by 秀色短视频 researchers. Dr. Travis Saunders, assistant professor of applied human sciences, examined the relationship between sedentary behaviour and physical literacy.

鈥淲e found that children who spend more time watching TV or playing video games had lower physical literacy,鈥� said Dr. Saunders. 鈥淭his suggests that minimizing screen time may help promote the development of physical literacy.鈥�

Dr. Dany MacDonald, associate professor and chair of applied human sciences, used CAPL data to explore the roles adequacy and predilection for physical activity play in a child鈥檚 physical literacy.

鈥淭he findings suggest that children鈥檚 perception of adequacy and predilection need to be considered to fully understand how physical literacy develops in this age group,鈥� said Dr. MacDonald. 鈥淚n addition, it was also found that a child鈥檚 cardiovascular fitness had the strongest association with adequacy and predilection to physical activity, suggesting a complex relationship a children鈥檚 physical and psychological states and physical literacy.鈥�

The HALO Research Group has been developing and refining the CAPL for the past 10 years.  It鈥檚 a robust tool that is valid, reliable and feasible and is being used across the country and internationally. The results of this research provide the first comprehensive assessment of the physical literacy of Canadian children.

鈥淭hrough this project, we provide comprehensive evidence that Canadian children aged eight to 12 years are falling short of standards for components of physical literacy,鈥� said Dr. Mark Tremblay. 鈥淔or example, boys and girls across Canada have aerobic fitness levels at the 30^th percentile of global norms and only 20% are meeting physical activity guidelines.鈥�

鈥淭hese results show us that more needs to be done,鈥� continues Tremblay. 鈥淓very organization concerned with the well-being of children, whether provincial governments, municipal public health and recreation departments, boards of education and sports or recreation groups, should allocate increased resources to increase children鈥檚 physical literacy. Addition education campaigns, greater priority in school curricula and increased numbers of physical education specialists could have a real impact in the health of Canada鈥檚 children.鈥�

Findings from this project have led to further refinements of the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy and the release of the second edition of the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy, or CAPL-2. 鈥淓nsuring that we have the right tools for coaches, educators and parents is an important way to increase physical literacy in Canada,鈥� says Pat Longmuir, Scientist with the CHEO Research Institute, HALO Research Group. 鈥淭he CAPL-2 is a shorter, easier to administer series of tests that can be used to assess and monitor physical literacy in Canada. The materials are available in both English and French, free of charge at .鈥�

This research study was made possible in part with support from the RBC Learn to Play Project, an initiative funded by RBC and the Public Health Agency of Canada and delivered in partnership with ParticipACTION, with additional support from Mitacs.

The 秀色短视频 held its nineteenth annual Recognition of Founders ceremony on Friday, September 28, today in Don and Marion McDougall Hall to acknowledge those who have contributed to the University in a significant way.

Recognized as 2018 Founders during the ceremony were Daryl Guignion and Dr. Ian MacQuarrie, both retired faculty members from the 秀色短视频 Department of Biology. Dr. Pierre-Yves Daoust, Professor Emeritus, was awarded the Atlantic Veterinary College鈥檚 2018 Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award, which pays tribute to individuals who have made an exceptional impact on the College.

As the official party entered Schurman Market Square, students Taylor Donald, Melissa Lewis, Tara Llewellyn, and Alexandra Sorensen sang O Canada. Sister Sue Kidd, University Chaplain, delivered the invocation, and Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, 秀色短视频 President and Vice-Chancellor, delivered welcome remarks. Will McGuigan, President of the 秀色短视频 Student Union, brought greetings from the organization. Biology student Kali Ross read the citations for Mr. Guignion and Dr. MacQuarrie, and retired wildlife pathologist Dr. Scott McBurney the one for Dr. Daoust. A reception was held immediately following the ceremony.

About the Founders:

Mr. Daryl Guignion and Dr. Ian MacQuarrie

Mr. Guignion and Dr. MacQuarrie have made impressive and significant impacts on ecological and wildlife conservation efforts in Prince Edward Island. They taught courses which instilled a conservation ethic, collaborated on land use and conservation initiatives, and raised public consciousness in these areas. As a result, their legacy is generations of students who went on to prominent positions helping to make changes towards sustainable use of natural resources. Both inspired generations of students to make land and water conservation their life鈥檚 work. They were also instrumental in the establishing of the Island Nature Trust and active in other conservation organizations.

A number of years ago, a scholarship was established by past students, colleagues, friends, and family to honour the work of Mr. Guignion and Dr. MacQuarrie. The Daryl Guignion and Ian MacQuarrie Graduate Scholarship in Science is granted to a first-year student in a Master of Science program at 秀色短视频 who will conduct a research program focused on the ecology and status of natural habitats and/or native wildlife.

秀色短视频 recently held a ceremony to recognize the recipients of the 2018 Distinguished Alumni Awards and the 2018 Inspiring Young Alumni Awards.

The Distinguished Alumni Award is presented to one or more of our alumni for their outstanding contributions to knowledge, the arts, the community, the university, or humanity. The criteria for these awards are based on the 秀色短视频鈥檚 motto, faith, knowledge, service. The two recipients for 2018 are Jo-Anne Doyle Knysh (Business, 1980) and Thilak Tennekone (Adult Education certificate, 2001; Master of Education in Leadership and Learning, 2006).

The Inspiring Young Alumni Award was established in 2011 to honour alumni under the age of 40 who have shown outstanding determination in achieving success at a young age. The two recipients for 2018 are Laura Archer (Nursing, 2001) and Dr. Peter Hooley (Science, 2000).

Following graduation, Jo-Anne Doyle Knysh moved to Toronto to work for Clarkson Gordon (now Ernst and Young) and became a Chartered Accountant in 1982. She continued to work in public accounting until moving to the San Francisco Bay area in 1988. She joined Apple鈥檚 finance team in early 1989 and worked in a variety of positions. After some turbulent years at the company, she participated in the dramatic transformation that took place when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, becoming a 鈥榗hange manager鈥� with the sales and marketing teams as they launched the Bondi Blue iMac, the Think Different campaign, the iPod, and iTunes, all cutting-edge technology at the time. Jumping off of the amazing success in the iPod market, Knysh was part of the team that launched iPad in the United States to overwhelming success.

Knysh is currently the Senior Finance Manager responsible for the Beats by Dr Dre business unit. Apple purchased Beats Music and Beats Electronics in July 2014 and she was an integral member of the due diligence and integration team. Beats Music has since been integrated into iTunes as Apple Music while the headphone business has maintained the separate Beats by Dr Dre brand, which she continues to help lead.

Outside of work, Knysh is a committed community volunteer and breast cancer awareness advocate. Following a family health scare in 2015, Jo-Anne and her family have dedicated themselves to raising the awareness of breast-cancer screening and women鈥檚 health. She recently became a member of the board of directors with the US Friends of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation and has been a dedicated member of the home and school foundation in her local community for many years.

She has spoken about her experiences to students of 秀色短视频鈥檚 EMBA program and is readily available to offer any mentorship she can to 秀色短视频 students. 

Knysh currently lives with her husband Brian in Saratoga, California while her two daughters Sara and Alison live in Chicago, Illinois. Although they are so far away, they all consider PEI to be home and can be found here every summer at their Stanley Bridge cottage.

Thilak Tennekone arrived in Prince Edward Island from Sri Lanka in 1992. As the first Sri Lankan family on the Island, the Tennekones saw firsthand the need for diversity and inclusivity in our communities. He has spent the better part of the last 25 years doing something about it. In 1993, he was one of the founders of the International Tea House on PEI, which was a series of multicultural education programs intended to promote cultural diversity in our community and designed to raise awareness across the Island. Tennekone continued to lead and build upon these programs until 2015.

Tennekone is a dedicated community volunteer, undertaking roles such as chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee with the Town of Stratford, member of the PEI Immigration Task Force, president of the PEI International Friendship Association, a founding member of the PEI Association for Newcomers to Canada, member of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO Advisory Committee on Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination, and many other groups and organizations representing local, provincial, and national interests.

Since 2000, Tennekone has worked diligently as the diversity consultant for the Government of Prince Edward Island, strategically developing policies, practices, and programs on diversity and inclusion management in the public service.

During his time with the PEI government, Tennekone completed his diploma in Adult Education from 秀色短视频 in 2001 and completed his Master of Education in Leadership and Learning in 2006. His educational training has helped in the design, development, and facilitation of the diversity training and cultural awareness education he has been creating over the past 18 years.

Tennekone鈥檚 efforts have been widely celebrated over the last number of years. In 2014, he was the recipient of the Community Appreciation Award presented by the PEI Association for Newcomers to Canada. In 2015, he was recognized with the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Award for being a diversity champion, and in 2016, he received the PEI Human Rights Excellence Award for the Advancing of Human Rights in PEI.

Away from his volunteer and professional work, Tennekone is often found onstage sharing his unique Sri Lankan music at one of the many cultural events taking place throughout the year. Tennekone lives in Stratford with his wife Hema, and sons Gayan and Jayoda, both 秀色短视频 alumni.

Laura Archer from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island graduated from 秀色短视频 in 2001 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  From 2001 to 2004, Archer honed her skills in emergency rooms and hospitals across North America. In May of 2004, Archer sold all of her belongings, bought a backpack and a plane ticket, and took off on a global adventure that would change the course of her life.

After visiting several countries in Asia, India, the Middle East, and Africa and experiencing a natural disaster in Thailand, Archer knew she wanted to make a difference in some of the most devastated parts of the world. When she returned home in 2005, Archer applied and was accepted to work for M茅decins Sans Fronti猫res (MSF).

Her work with MSF took her around the world and back again. She provided emergency medical humanitarian services responding to natural disasters, epidemics, famine, conflict, and other complex health emergencies. Working in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, North Darfur, Sudan, Niger, and many others, there was always danger present, whether from disease or local groups that didn鈥檛 support the work of MSF. Despite the dangers she faced, Archer continued to work with MSF until 2012 when she was the Emergency Medical Team Leader in southeastern Chad.

Since 2016, she has been with the Global Health Unit of the Canadian Red Cross in Ottawa as the Health in Emergencies Advisor, providing operational and technical support to a wide variety of emergency medical humanitarian programs.  She has been deployed to Haiti following Hurricane Matthew, Somalia during the recent cholera outbreak, Antigua and Barbuda following Hurricane Irma, and Uganda in response to the South Sudanese refugee crisis. Archer is an experienced keynote speaker and facilitator and is often found in the front of a room filled with people looking to learn from her experiences and expertize.

When Archer is not providing humanitarian services around the globe, she will most likely be found in her art studio. Archer uses her art as a medium to tell the stories of the people she meets through her work and travel. She has appeared in many solo art exhibitions as well as juried group art exhibitions. One of her works is permanently on display in 秀色短视频鈥檚 Applied Health Sciences building, which is home to the Faculty of Nursing.

Archer is currently completing her Advanced Master of Science in Disaster Medicine.  She lives in Ottawa with her husband Sjors and her two children Calvin and Adele.

Dr. Peter Hooley from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, graduated from 秀色短视频 in 2000 with his Bachelor of Science degree. He received the 秀色短视频 Class of 2000 Spirit Award, which is given to the student who made an outstanding contribution to the graduating class. Following his time at 秀色短视频, Dr. Hooley proceeded to Dalhousie where he completed his medical degree in 2004 and was also awarded the Lourdes Embil prize for the top medical student in cardiovascular research.

Dr. Hooley completed his residency in June of 2006 and immediately began taking regular shifts in the emergency department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. In July of 2006, he took over for Dr. Harry Callaghan at the Parkdale Medical Clinic with a patient load of more than 2,500 Islanders.

As an associate professor in the family medicine departments at both Dalhousie University and Memorial University of Newfoundland, Dr. Hooley has been a mentor and teacher to many doctors completing their residency programs on PEI. In 2010, he was named Preceptor of the Year by the Dalhousie University Department of Family Medicine鈥檚 residency program. In 2011, Dr. Hooley was named PEI Family Physician of the Year by the College of Family Physicians.

In 2014, he was the co-founder of the Queen Street Recovery Centre offering support services for Islanders struggling with addictions. He currently serves as the medical director and is a practicing physician at the Recovery Centre. In 2015, Dr. Hooley was the recipient of an Award of Excellence from the College of Family Physicians for his role in leading the establishment of the addiction clinic. He is a leader and highly sought after speaker on addiction as well as sport medicine.

In Dr. Hooley鈥檚 spare time, he is a community volunteer serving on several boards and government committees. He is heavily involved in the Pownal Minor Hockey Association, and has served as the team physician for the Charlottetown Islanders since 2007. Outside of the rink and office, you鈥檒l most likely find Dr. Hooley spending time with his wife Melissa and three children Jack, Elise, and Brennen.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the release of two juvenile bald eagles by the Atlantic Veterinary College鈥檚 Wildlife Service on Saturday, October 13, at 2 p.m., at Macphail Woods Ecological Forestry Project in Orwell, P.E.I. Prior to the release of the eagles, there will be a Mi鈥檏maq smudging ceremony and drumming.

Both eagles spent a month at AVC under the care of the College鈥檚 Wildlife Service before going to the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Nova Scotia for rehabilitation.

One eagle was found in a field in Orwell on June 19, unable to fly. The young eagle possibly left the nest early because of strong winds. Students and staff built a nest in the flight cage where the bird spent its first few weeks, eating and recovering from its ordeal. Eventually it left the nest and explored the perches in the enclosure. After a month, it was transported to Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre to interact with other eagles and gain flight muscle strength in the 鈥淏ig Jeezley,鈥� the centre鈥檚 huge oval flight cage.

The other eagle, also a young one, was found on July 24 in North Bedeque, P.E.I., with a stick protruding from either side of one of its wings. The stick was removed by Dr. Peter Moak, small animal surgeon at AVC, and the bird was treated with antibiotics and pain medication. It is thought that the eagle was probably still learning how to fly when it had a mishap, resulting in the stick being driven into its wing. After receiving medical care at AVC for a month, it also was taken to the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre where it continued its rehabilitation.

In releasing these two eagles, the AVC Wildlife Service is honouring the late Dr. Helene Van Doninck, AVC Class of 1991. During her veterinary career, she dedicated her life to caring for injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife. She and her husband, Murdo Messer, established the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2001. In addition to her remarkable record as a veterinarian, Dr. Van Doninck passed on her knowledge and expertise in the care of wildlife to AVC students. In April she was presented with AVC鈥檚 Award of Excellence in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Care and in July the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association鈥檚 Humane Award for her dedication to caring for injured wildlife.

Should the weather be inclement, the release will take place on Sunday, October 14, at the same time and place.
