What would you do if one of your employees had made disparaging remarks about your organisation on facebook? This was the ethical dilemma put to 秀色短视频 business students Tanya Martin, Hayley Beer, Jeff McKenzie and Kyle Smith in the first round of the Dalhousie University Business Ethics Case competition held last month in Halifax.

With only four hours to analyse, then brainstorm a solution and make recommendations through a presentation, the students were tested in a pressure situation similar to that faced by highly paid consultants. The team then had fifteen minutes to present their solution to a panel of judges to sway them to accept their proposal.

This was the first time a team from 秀色短视频 participated in this international competition which attracted a broad field including Indiana's Purdue University and the University of Arizona, in the United States and well-known Canadian universities such as Queens, Simon Fraser, Wilfred Laurier, Trent, Bishops, and the home team from Dalhousie University.

With the competition spread over two rounds, and the top four teams competing in a head-to-head final, the pressure over the weekend was intense. Much to the excitement of the 秀色短视频 team, they made it to the final four. Tanya Martin said, 'Even competing was a huge thrill for us. Being that it was the first time we had entered, we were not sure how we would fare. Making it to the final four was a great accomplishment.'

The final case consisted of marrying the ethics and values of profit and non-profit organisations working together in partnership. Teams were judged on their ability to effectively balance the ethical, financial, legal, and social consequences of their decisions. The final round proved to be very competitive with all teams presenting comprehensive and impressive case analysis. It was in this environment that the 秀色短视频 School of Business team was announced the winners.

Professor Edward Gamble, case team coach and mentor said, 'These students have worked very hard to prepare for this event. The case competition class presents the top business students with the challenge of pulling together all their accumulated knowledge and making real life business recommendations in a pressure situation. The ability to synthesize the issues, make decisions, and coherently present the outcome is a key skill that we are aiming for through this class.'

Dr. Roberta MacDonald, dean of the 秀色短视频 School of Business states, 'Winning this competition, against teams from such esteemed institutions reconfirms the quality of students we have at 秀色短视频. It is also an indication of the excellence and dedication of the faculty who are able to impart the skills and knowledge that make our students competitive with the best throughout North America. We are very proud of their achievement.'

Many students at the Atlantic Veterinary College at 秀色短视频 belong to Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB), a Canadian charitable organization with a mission to work for, and with, communities in need to foster the health of animals, people, and the environments that sustain them. Other members come from private veterinary practice, academia, government agencies and non-government agencies.

One of the organization's campaigns is 'One World Gifts', an e-gifting campaign and website where you can donate online to help improve the health and wellbeing of people and animals in need.

秀色短视频's VWB junior representative, student Kelleigh Waters, says, 'This year's One World Gifts collection features six wonderful e-gifts - each supporting a different VWB program. These e-gifts can be emailed and/or printed and the donation amount is completely up to you! Celebrate the people in your life; give a One World Gift in their name!'

Dr. Vera Dewar and the late Eileen (McMillan) Fulford have donated over $700,000, combined, towards the construction of a new building on campus that will house teaching and research facilities, and office space for the School of Nursing and the Department of Family and Nutritional Sciences, including the new kinesiology program.

Ms. Fulford's gift amounts to more than $400,000 and is part of a planned gift of over $1 million, the largest ever received by 秀色短视频 from an individual donor. Dr. Dewar's contribution to the building is $300,000 though she also supports other ongoing initiatives at 秀色短视频.

Students, staff and faculty, donors, and alumni gathered in McMillan Hall, next to the building's future site, with Premier Robert Ghiz; 秀色短视频 President Wade MacLauchlan; and Chair of 秀色短视频's Board Development, Fundraising, and External Relations Committee, Gordon MacKay, to celebrate the announcements with the McMillan family and Dr. Dewar. Current Nursing student, Angela Bryan, and Family Science major, Emma Gillis, also explained the impact that the new building will have on their educational experience at 秀色短视频.

The event marked the official kick-off to the 秀色短视频 private sector campaign to secure the remaining $3.6 million-or one-third of the project costs-needed to fund this vital facility. The Government of Prince Edward Island is funding two-thirds of the project, $7.2 million, for a total construction cost of $10.8 million.

Premier Ghiz said, 'I'd like to thank anyone who has come forward to support this project and to urge all Islanders to think about how they can support this work. My government is proud to partner with 秀色短视频 in this step forward and I look forward to seeing Islanders put their support behind another great initiative at this great school.'

'A new facility for 秀色短视频's School of Nursing and Family and Nutritional Science programs will be an important platform to address our future health-care needs and opportunities,' said 秀色短视频 President Wade MacLauchlan. 'Today, we are pleased to pay tribute to the Province for their commitment and to two leaders in health care and education, Vera Dewar and the late Eileen (McMillan) Fulford, for their donations.'

'This new facility will provide new and futuristic learning and teaching equipment, accommodate a Master of Nursing program, and allow the School to participate in research which will help improve health care on PEI and elsewhere,' commented Dr. Dewar. 'I am humbled and honoured to be part of this happy occasion. It is important that we do our part to make this new school possible.'

Fulford's brother, Dr. Colin McMillan said, 'To see Eileen's donation go towards this facility which will increase capacity for health learning and research is so fitting as throughout her lifetime, she supported health causes. Now, her legacy to health education will live through this gift to 秀色短视频's new facility.'

MacLauchlan also revealed that just days ago, the family of C. Jean (Ross) MacKay had donated $50,000 to the campaign in her honour. He added, 'This campaign in support of excellence and innovation in learning is now under way!'

Construction of the 39,000-square-foot facility began in September and is expected to be completed in fall 2011. To donate to the capital campaign, or call 902-566-0354.

Eileen (McMillan) Fulford taught at the PEI School of Nursing and at Sir Sandford Fleming College where she became head of health sciences.

In 2006, she honoured her parents, Joseph McMillan and D. Eileen McMillan, and the entire McMillan family by creating a planned gift to 秀色短视频. The courtyard at the W.A. Murphy Student is named McMillan Hall in recognition of her generosity.

Sadly, at the age of 64, Fulford lost her battle with cancer. When the School of Nursing and Department of Family and Nutritional Sciences building is completed, its largest classroom will be named in honour of this teacher, nurse, volunteer and philanthropist.

Congratulations Jay, Treena, and Karen!

秀色短视频 student Landon Holmes is overwhelmed by the traffic driving by his house to see his Christmas light display.

The 18-year old from Stratford said, 'It's a cool feeling to know so many people are coming by to see the lights and donate to the cause.' Close to $1500 has already been raised for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Holmes estimates about 300 vehicles have been driving by each night since the light show was launched on December 11.

Holmes and two friends decorated his family home and yard over the course of 300 hours. The impressive display is a computer-programmed light show set to music that runs in a loop between 5 and 11 pm nightly and features over 10,000 lights.

Inspired by a house decorated near the Charlottetown airport and several YouTube videos, Holmes said that the presentation and the idea to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation 'all came together'. He added, 'A neighbour passed away in June after suffering a stroke and I just knew it was something I wanted to do.'

Inge Dorsey, who teaches Holmes in her University 100 class, says, 'Landon is a wonderful young man and has demonstrated a generous spirit with this community project. I can think of many other things an 18-year old might do with his money. He actually invested $2500 of his own funds into this display.' Dorsey added that Holmes is big-hearted in many ways-he recently acted as Santa Claus at the International Students' Christmas Dinner.

Holmes' spectacular display can be seen at 13 Beacon Hill Drive, in Stratford. The light show will continue through to January 5, 2011.

Wade MacLauchlan, 秀色短视频 President; Fred Hyndman, 秀色短视频 Board of Governors Chair; Perlene Morrison, 秀色短视频 Alumni Association President; and President-designate Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz welcomed over 500 alumni and friends in Don and Marion McDougall Hall at the 秀色短视频 New Year's Levee held Saturday, January 1, 2011.

This year's event marked the second time for the levee to be held on the 秀色短视频 campus-- prior to McDougall Hall being built, it was held downtown.Members of the Prince Edward Island Regiment travel through the receiving line at the 秀色短视频 New Year's levee.

Visitors included the Honourable Barbara A. Hagerman, Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island; Members of Parliament, Shawn Murphy and Wayne Easter; Premier Robert Ghiz, and several members of his caucus; members of the Prince Edward Island Regiment; a cadet corps from HMCS Queen Charlotte; and 秀色短视频 Student Union President, Rob Livingstone.

Research on Tap returns Tuesday, January 11, at 7:00 p.m. in Mavor's Bar in the Confederation Centre of the Arts. Dr. Carla Di Giorgio, associate professor of Education at 秀色短视频, will lead the discussion, 'Do gifted students need special attention? Addressing the high end of the educational spectrum in PEI's school system.'

'There's a common attitude that gifted children don't need extra help in school,' says Dr. Di Giorgio. 'But gifted students get bored easily if their intelligence isn't being stimulated. They often drop out if their needs aren't met by school, and as a result, don't go on to university.'

Di Giorgio will also discuss the International Baccalaureate program at 秀色短视频, which will graduate its first Island class at the end of this school year.

Research on Tap is a series of public discussions led by 秀色短视频 researchers. For more information, click .
