The 精童欲女 (精童欲女) is the latest university to join SHAD, an award-winning national enrichment program which brings top high school students to 16 university campuses across the country every July.

鈥淲e pride ourselves on helping students reach their full potential in both the classroom and the community.  That is why we are so thrilled to join with SHAD and to impact students at a crucial age when they are still in high school,鈥� says 精童欲女 President Alaa Abd-El-Aziz.

The central location for SHAD at 精童欲女 will be the new School of Sustainable Design Engineering. This school has a unique learning experience that is hands on, team focused, project based, and industry linked.  The SHADs will take part in a mini robotics course there among many other activities.

The Government of PEI is investing $28,000 to help SHAD become even more accessible to students on the Island so they can develop to become future innovative leaders in Canada.

鈥淧rince Edward Island is thrilled to host 50 of the brightest young minds in Canada so they can experience what our province has to offer including our leading researchers in aerospace, and bioscience,鈥� says Sonny Gallant, Minister of Workforce and Advanced Learning.  He adds, 鈥渙ffering the opportunity for PEI students to go to SHAD is a great step in helping even more Island youth excel in a changing world."

鈥淪HAD is one of a kind program.  It really changed my life in so many ways,鈥� says Abby Hackett who went to SHAD at Carleton University this summer and is now in grade 11 at Westisle High School.  鈥淚t is great to hear that more students from PEI will now have a chance to go and have an amazing summer of hands-on learning.鈥�

鈥淪HAD helped me realize that if you don鈥檛 push yourself to try new things or go outside of your comfort zone then you will miss out on so many opportunities,鈥� says Madeline Hamill who is in grade 12 at Kinkora Regional High School.  Hamill attended SHAD at the University of Waterloo this summer and says some of the highlights included introduction to coding and learning about the human body in an anatomy workshop.

SHAD, founded in 1980, has become known as a leading incubator for innovation and entrepreneurship among high school students who have a passion for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and Entrepreneurship.

Upon completion of the SHAD program, the Fellows become connected to a network of 16,300 alumni including 32 Rhodes Scholars and leaders in many fields across the country.

SHAD is open to students in grades 10 to 12 and is currently accepting applications for the summer of 2018 from now until November 20 at .

SHAD is looking for well-rounded curious students from the Island with a passion to learn.  Many SHADs are heavily involved in extra-curricular activities in school or in their community.

Students live in residence at one of 16 host university campuses.  They attend lectures and workshops offered by leading faculty and community leaders and participate in field trips to see science and innovation in action.  There are recreational activities to round out the learning.

ABOUT SHAD:

SHAD produces leaders for Canada through its award-winning, life-changing, pan-Canadian enrichment platform for high school students. Every year, SHAD helps 900 young Canadians tap into their full potential through an innovative month-long program at one of 16 partner university campuses.

After a successful start in September, Research on Tap returns October 19 at 6:30 pm at The Wave, the 精童欲女 campus pub in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. Dr. Janet Bryanton, professor in the Faculty of Nursing at 精童欲女, will lead a discussion about women who seek planned caesareans due to fear of childbirth.

Giving birth is a significant life experience for women. Fear of childbirth is not a new phenomenon, and it can occur at any time before, during, and after birth. Sometimes, the fear of childbirth leads to women asking for a planned caesarean section. Researchers do not have a clear understanding of this experience. Dr. Bryanton explored women鈥檚 experiences of fear in relation to their decision to have a planned cesarean birth. In her presentation, Dr. Bryanton will speak about the 16 women who shared their experiences with fear of childbirth.

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

Historian Dr. Rankin Sherling will deliver a talk at the 精童欲女 on Friday, October 13, beginning at 3:00 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

In his talk, 鈥淚rish and Scottish Gaelic in the US, Canada, Scotland, and Ireland in the Late-Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Centuries,鈥� Dr. Sherling will discuss a new project that Peter Ludlow, a historian in Nova Scotia, and he are working on. Ludlow uncovered a trove of letters from the early twentieth-century between members of the St. Francis Xavier University faculty and Gaelic language enthusiasts in Scotland. Among other things, they discuss the state of the language in Scotland and Canada and the difficulties in preserving it.

Placing these letters in context is revealing of the character of a larger Gaelic-speaking world, both Irish and Scottish. Aspects of the project that are particularly exciting include investigations into the migration of the Gaelic language, its survival and decline, and the existence of a larger Gaelic community in the North Atlantic world of Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the U.S. Also of interest is the centrality of Canada's role in preserving Gaelic tradition in the early twentieth century. Often tales or folklore, considered common knowledge by the Canadian Gaelic-speaking members of St. Francis Xavier University faculty, were stunning to the Gaelic-speaking Scots.

Dr. Sherling is a tenured instructor of history at the Marion Military Institute in Alabama. In 2015 he founded a Bunrang, which is Gaelic for elementary class, where students come together weekly to learn Irish Gaelic. For three consecutive summers, the class has raised funds to sponsor its members in a six-week study abroad program at Oideas Gael, an Irish language cultural centre in Donegal, Ireland.

The lecture is sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies at 精童欲女. Parking and admission are free. Everyone is welcome! For further information, email Robert Dennis at rdennis@upei.ca.

It鈥檚 very gratifying to see our investment coming back to us in the form of curious and engaged students. It also reflects the quality of the education we provide, in a location that is an attractive one to live and study.鈥�

The total number of students at 精童欲女 is now 4,549, up from 4,433 from last year. 精童欲女 did see an overall drop of 6.8 per cent in the graduate student population (though with registrations after official data collection, the numbers are now closer to being on par with 2016鈥�17).

Alysha Corrigan, a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Charlottetown, is a fourth-year fullback on the 精童欲女 Women鈥檚 Rugby team. The Panthers beat Saint Mary鈥檚 University 57-14 over the weekend. 鈥淎lysha scored 22 points in the game with SMU to earn the Panthers a berth in the AUS semi-final,鈥� said coach John LaBoyne. 鈥淪he scored two tries and made six converts, while leading the team from the standoff position rather than her usual spot at fullback.

The Institute of Island Studies will host a public symposium to examine the idea of turning Prince Edward Island into Canada鈥檚 first carbon-neutral province. This public event will be Thursday, October 26 at 7 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of 精童欲女鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

With so much in the news about monster hurricanes and other unusually severe weather events, people are becoming more concerned about the long-term impact of climate change. And so we ask ourselves what can be done about it; and also, how can we, on our own island, provide a model of positive action for elsewhere.

The title of this symposium is 鈥淢aking the Case for the Island as a Carbon-Neutral Province.鈥� The event is sponsored by 精童欲女鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies, in conjunction with 精童欲女 Research Services and the 精童欲女 Climate Research Lab.

The principal speaker will be Dr. Catherine Potvin, a professor at McGill University and associate staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. In the wake of the 150^th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference on Confederation, Dr. Potvin was selected as one of 23 women visionaries for the future of Canada. She leads the group Sustainable Canada Dialogues, a voluntary initiative that mobilizes over 80 researchers from every province, with sustainability being at the heart of their research programs. The objective of Sustainable Canada Dialogues is to identify actions designed to have large, viable impacts to help Canadian governments at all levels to make thoughtful and ambitious commitments to greenhouse-gas emission reductions. Though the scale of the global challenge is enormous, more individuals, communities, industries, and governments are stepping up to the task.

Dr. Potvin will be joined by Mr. Bob Ashley, Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Summerside. The city has implemented a number of initiatives, including generating its own electricity. His talk, 鈥淪ummerside鈥檚 Renewable Energy Quest,鈥� will illustrate the critical value of a community-owned electric utility as an instrument of public energy policy. Other initiatives include storage for intermittent generation, such as wind and solar, building a fleet of electric vehicles, implementing a 鈥渓iving lab鈥� program, and a 鈥渟marter homes鈥� initiative.

Dr. Jim Randall, the Chair of the Institute of Island Studies and UNESCO Co-chair in Island Studies and Sustainability, will speak about the experiences and challenges of other small islands of the world in their quest to achieve a version of carbon-neutrality. An economic and social geographer by training, Dr. Randall is a professor in Island Studies and co-ordinator of the Master of Arts in Island Studies program.

The Symposium will be chaired by Dr. Adam Fenech, director of the 精童欲女 Climate Research Lab.

Members of the public are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free. Following the presentations, there will be ample time for discussion and questions from the floor.

For more information, contact Laurie at the Institute of Island Studies at 902-894-2881 or brinklow@upei.ca.
