精童欲女鈥檚 Centre for Education Research (CER) is hosting a presentation by Dr. Dawn Wallin, professor and associate dean of undergraduate programs, partnerships, and research in the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan. Her talk, 鈥淐hanging Tides: Perspectives, Problems and Possibilities,鈥� begins at 5:30 pm, Thursday, November 2 in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of 精童欲女鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

The pace of change in schools and post-secondary institutions has increased significantly in the last two decades, affected by restructuring efforts on provincial, national, and global fronts. This presentation will discuss how some of these efforts have impacted teaching, learning, and leading in local environments. Though some succumb to the seduction of the 鈥渄ark side鈥� of change through negative paralysis or bitterness, it has always been in the perceived 鈥渄arkest of days鈥� that active engagement and advocacy for a better future assert themselves with each single action of hope. This presentation is one of 鈥渞ealistic optimism鈥� for the education profession, one that keeps at its centre the value of human dignity, the importance of community, and the privilege and responsibility we hold as educators to learn with, and from, the children and youth who will inherit a world filled with the consequences of our actions鈥攐r inactions.

Dr. Dawn C. Wallin specializes in educational administration and leadership, and her areas of scholarship include educational leadership, rural education and governance, and equity issues in education. Dr. Wallin has held a number of leadership and administrative positions in K-12 and post-secondary contexts and has worked extensively with ministries of education and leadership/teaching organizations in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Texas. She has served as the vice-president of the Canadian Society for the Study of Education, and president for the Canadian Association of Educational Administration and the Canadian Society for the Study of Women and Education. She is the co-author of the book Understanding Canadian Schools and co-editor of a book to be released this spring entitled Transforming Conversations: Feminism and Education in Canada Since 1970.

The following is .

Halloween can be fun for everyone if safety is top of mind.

While Prince Edward Island law enforcement will be on patrol on Halloween next Tuesday (October 31) to keep Islanders safe, they are also reminding everyone about steps they can take. These include watching out for trick or treaters, driving sober, and reporting malicious fires by calling 9-1-1.

鈥淲e can all play a part in keeping our communities safe. Drivers need to slow down and be aware of the increased number of young pedestrians on Island streets over the weekend and on Halloween,鈥� said Charlottetown Police Deputy Chief Gary McGuigan. 鈥淭here are so many young people out after dark that drivers must take extra precautions, especially in neighbourhoods. Drivers should eliminate distractions like cell phones so they can react quickly if needed.鈥�

Trick-or-treaters should always venture out with an adult and:

• make sure that masks have large-enough eye holes to ensure good peripheral vision so kids can look both ways before crossing the street;
• have a flashlight or glow stick to be more visible to traffic; and
• avoid costumes with long, trailing fabric that can cause kids to trip and are a fire hazard.

Although Halloween is on a Tuesday this year, many Islanders will start their celebrations the weekend before. 精童欲女 Security Services manager Mark Pharand tells Islanders to party responsibly.

"We encourage all adults, and especially 精童欲女 students, to follow responsible drinking tips like drinking slowly, having a non-alcoholic drink for each alcoholic drink, and having a plan for getting home safely,鈥� said Pharand. 鈥淭he risk of car accidents and accidental overdose increases when alcohol is combined with other drugs. If you have drugs and/or alcohol in your system, you should not be driving.鈥�

Malicious and nuisance fires during the Halloween season endanger people and property and these unnecessary and dangerous fires put first responders at risk. If Islanders see any suspicious activity, they should call 911.

鈥淎rson puts real people in real danger and it ties up valuable lifesaving resources that could be needed elsewhere,鈥� said RCMP S/Sgt. Kevin Baillie. 鈥淪tart a conversation in your community and households about these dangers, so everyone knows that arson is not a prank. A strong adult presence in communities can deter mischief; it could be as simple as walking with your kids while they are trick-or-treating or keeping an eye out from your front porch.鈥�

More than 200 police officers serve Prince Edward Island with the RCMP and three municipal police departments 鈥� Charlottetown, Summerside, and Kensington -- in addition to specialized policing services provided by security police officers at 精童欲女 and Prince Edward Island鈥檚 conservation officers.

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 Rachel Colle and Mohammad Jaber, the 精童欲女 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for October 23鈥�29!

精童欲女 Women鈥檚 Hockey hosts Dalhousie University Friday evening at 7:00 pm in MacLauchlan Arena.

鈥淒al is the only team we have not played against this year, and they are averaging a goal a game better then we are,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e a great leader in their captain Lisa MacLean. If we are going to be successful, we need to limit her and her teammates鈥� scoring opportunities. We need to compete for a full 60 minutes, do a much better job in defending in our zone, and be a lot more willing to block shots, especially on the penalty kill.鈥�

Charles Waddell and Kyle Robertson say the Panthers will hit the road for Fredericton first thing Saturday morning to play University of New Brunswick in Fredericton at 2:30 pm.

鈥淲e鈥檝e spent the last two weeks working hard on our defensive structure and organization,鈥� said Waddell. 鈥淚f we can identify when to press, when to shift, and stop UNB's first-phase attack, I鈥檓 very optimistic of our chances.鈥�

If the Panthers win Saturday, they鈥檒l host the Nova Scotia champions the following weekend for the Maritime Championship. The winner of that game is invited to the Canadian University Championship in Guelph, Ontario.

The Panthers finished the regular season with a record of 4-2-0, scoring 245 points and only conceding 119. Mark Lloyd led the charge on offence with 59 points; James Coyle led the team in tries, averaging an impressive one try per game.

Waddell also highlights the regular-season efforts ofBen Whalen, Ben Fradsham, Aidan Smith, and Ryan Cheverie, who all finished the season with three tries a piece. Alex 鈥淢eatball鈥� Hall chipped in a further 21 points.

Best of luck in Fredericton! Go Panthers Go!

A favourite event among Island writers and literature lovers, the annual public reading by 精童欲女鈥檚 Creative Writing Master Class, will take place on Monday, November 20 at 7:00 pm in the Faculty Lounge of 精童欲女鈥檚 SDU Main Building.

The reading will showcase emerging and seasoned writers: Colleen MacQuarrie, Louise Burley, Kandace Hagen, Lorraine Clements, Michelle Barton, Hailey Hennessey, Allysha Leuschen, Rose Henbest, Morgan Sewell, Lorraine Rumson, Elaine Graham, and Victoria Jewells.

Several writers will read from their memoirs鈥攁bout growing up in a boarding house in downtown Charlottetown, of witnessing decades of transformations in an eastern PEI rural community, of coming of age on a Saskatchewan farm amidst the richness of the Prairie landscape, of being the parent of a transgendered child, and of dealing with physical disabilities and corrective surgery.

Fiction writers and poets will give us glimpses of a passionate affair between a puritanical man and a sensual woman; a friendship between a young prince and a stable boy in a medieval kingdom; the challenges of gender identity, sexuality, and amorous relationships in the 21^st century; the blessings and tribulations of childhood and parenting; the vortex of substance abuse and rehabilitation; the spectrum of longings, sorrows, revelations, and joys that rainbows our lives.   

The reading is sponsored by the 精童欲女 English Department. Admission is free. All are welcome.
