AVC鈥檚 popular Open House takes place on Saturday, September 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A free event hosted by students, faculty and staff, AVC Open House offers the community an opportunity to get an inside view of a busy veterinary college.

There is something for everyone including family-friendly activities, tours, exhibits, lots of different animals, a parade of dog breeds, community organization displays, and much more. Children can bring their stuffed animals to the teddy bear clinic where they will be examined by a veterinary student. They can also have their faces painted and get a balloon animal to take home. And they can get an animal-themed bracelet to take home (supplies are limited).

A great way to spend a late fall Saturday afternoon. Don鈥檛 miss it!

Fort McMurray-based independent theatre company Theatre; Just Because . Shaw graduated from 精童欲女 in 2014 with his Honours History and a minor in Theatre Studies before attending the National Theatre School in Montreal.

鈥淚 was instantly impressed by his ambition, professionalism, and enthusiasm to bring artists together and to put them in the spotlight,鈥� says outgoing artistic director Michelle Thorne. 鈥淗e was a huge influence in the formation and success of Theatre; Just Because without him really knowing. Having this young man come into our community and really shake things up and make things happen really lit the fire under many theatre artists in the community to step up the level of professionalism in their work.鈥�

Shaw is an actor, writer, producer, and comedian who has been celebrated for his work on Island and off. He was recently awarded the Patron鈥檚 Prize for with The Wrestling Play at the 2017 Island Fringe Festival.

Congratulations, Justin!

In his third book, Dr. Gil Germain critically examines the perception of reality that informs our technological world. Thinking About Technology: how the technological mind misreads reality is .

From the publisher鈥檚 website:

鈥淭he world we make reflects the way reality is perceived, and today the world is perceived primarily in technological terms. So argues Gil Germain in Thinking About Technology: How the Technological Mind Misreads Reality. Given the connection between perception and action, or thinking and doing, Germain first highlights the central features of technological worldview to better understand the contemporary drive to master the conditions of human existence. He then boldly proposes that the technological worldview seriously misreads the nature of the world it seeks mastery over, and shows how this misinterpretation invariably leads to the technologically related challenges currently vexing the contemporary social order, from the drift toward a post-human future to the anti-globalization backlash. Germain closes Thinking About Technology by articulating an alternative worldview to the technological perspective and illustrating how this re-reading of reality might help us inhabit the technological landscape in ways better attuned to the human condition.鈥�

Dr. Gil Germain is an associate professor of political science at the 精童欲女.

Research on Tap returns Thursday, September 21 at 6:30 pm at The Wave, the 精童欲女 campus pub in the WA Murphy Student Centre. Dr. Adam Fenech, professor of environmental studies and biology and director of the 精童欲女 Climate Lab, and will lead the discussion 鈥淐limate change: We're screwed, it's our fault, it's going to get worse, and there's nothing we can do about it.鈥� 

As of late, it鈥檚 hard to avoid the discussion of climate change. 鈥淭his summer over 1.2 million hectares of British Columbia and Alberta were engulfed in wildfires. Hurricane Harvey brought 1.3 meters of rainfall, making it the wettest tropical hurricane on record. Two weeks ago, Hurricane Irma became a Category 5 hurricane, causing catastrophic damages.鈥� Dr. Fenech argues, 鈥淲hile it鈥檚 too early to attribute these events to climate change, climate experts are saying that it is very likely as the conditions required for these events are exacerbated under a changing climate.鈥�

Research on Tap is a series of public discussions led by 精童欲女 researchers. For more information, please email gsa@upei.ca. 

精童欲女鈥檚 Faculty of Education and the Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture program are hosting a public talk by Todd Leader, a transformational leader in health services and health promotion, particularly in the areas of mental health, addictions, and primary health care. Leader鈥檚 talk is titled 鈥淭ransformational Leadership in the Public Sector: how to lead change in mental health and addictions, education, and other public service programs.鈥� The event begins at 7:00 pm, Wednesday, September 27 in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

Leader will examine the role and ideal nature of transformational leadership in the public sector. He will describe a principle-based way of leading improvement in public services. The approach he will outline is built specifically from the perspective and best interests of the clients, students, families, or public being served. He will discuss ways in which our public systems often maintain the status quo and resist change. He will illustrate, through examples, that much of the frustration with public programs (health, education, community services, etc.) is not the fault of the people providing the services, but instead is caused by the way administrative systems have evolved (rather than being intentionally designed) over time. Leader will provide practical tips for effective leadership and advocacy that move toward truly client-centered, student-centered, or public-centered systems.

Todd Leader, an alumnus of Cape Breton University and Memorial University of Newfoundland, is a registered psychologist and a registered social worker. He has spent 27 years working as a transformational leader in health services and in health promotion, particularly in the areas of mental health, addictions, and primary health care. He has also been teaching in the Faculty of Science at Saint Mary鈥檚 University for the same 27 years. Leader has twice earned awards for his teaching, including the Overall Excellence in Teaching Award, the highest award presented by the Saint Mary鈥檚 University Students鈥� Association. Health services under his leadership have earned two international best practice awards and a leadership award for excellence in women鈥檚 health.

Leader was appointed by the Nova Scotia Minister of Health and Wellness to the Ministerial Advisory Panel on Innovation in Mental Health and Addictions. Todd has been the president of the Public Health Association of Nova Scotia and a member of the board of directors of the Canadian Public Health Association. He is currently both the president of the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia and the Vice President of the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers. Leader is the lead for year-three of the SEAK Project (Socially & Emotionally Aware Kids), up-scaling the integration of social and emotional learning in schools and communities across Atlantic Canada.

Leader has spent his career working as an advocate for client-centered health services and evidence-based healthy public policy. His most recent accomplishment is a book called It鈥檚 Not About Us; The Secret to Transforming the Mental Health and Addiction System in Canada. He currently works as a consultant and speaker helping to lead client-centered system improvements.

All are welcome!

Every week, 精童欲女 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Sarah MacVarish (women鈥檚 soccer) and Lee Wesselius (cross country), the 精童欲女 Panther Subway Athletes of the week for September 11鈥�17!

Sarah MacVarish is a second-year forward from Stratford, PEI, and a Bachelor of Arts student at 精童欲女. MacVarish scored in each of 精童欲女鈥檚 games over the weekend. 鈥淪arah鈥檚 speed, strength, and power proved to be too much for both defences,鈥� said coach Graeme McDonald. 鈥淪arah always has a positive attitude鈥攕he gives her all every time she is on the field and takes pride in wearing the panther jersey.鈥�

Lee Wesselius is a second-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student from River Glade, New Brunswick and a member of the cross country team. Wesselius finished second place out of 57 runners in the eight-kilometre race at UNB/STU Invitational in Fredericton. He had an outstanding run against the top university runners in the AUS, leading the Panthers to their best ever finish in a conference meet. 鈥淲hile Lee鈥檚 individual performance was impressive,鈥� said coach Colin MacAdam, 鈥渉is hard work and leadership has had a positive effect on his teammates, who all performed personal bests or very close to personal bests. A very worthy athlete of the week selection.鈥�
