*We've planned two, half days over the break to introduce you to some of the
possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you
what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a
sense of what services you can use to help you get started.
The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am-12:30 pm
on the morning of February 20. The workshops will be held in
McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided.
There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register
with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email: Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at
lmmackinnon@upei.ca
We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and both are meant to be attended.

Similar to last year, we will be having a "Pie Your Prof" event on
Thursday, January 31, as part of the Student Union's Frost Week 2013 .
Students have the chance to place bids on the prof they would like to pie,
and the highest bidder gets to pie their prof. Money raised goes towards a
"Pimp My Lounge" contest.
Frost Week is an important week for the Student Union, as it brings
students, faculty, and staff together in a friendly, interfaculty rivalry.
If you'd be interested in or willing to be pied in the face, please email
Jon at vpactivities@upeisu.ca. We would really appreciate your support!

The elevator in the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre will be shut down today,
January 24 for the majority of the day. This is required to perform
necessary repairs.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
Drs Kathy Ling and Anne Marie Carey, veterinarians with AVC’s Community Practice Clinic, will give a community workshop entitled “Overweight Pets: An Expanding Problem” on Tuesday, January 29, from 7-8:30 pm in the Atlantic Veterinary College’s Lecture Theatre A.
Overweight pets are prone to weight-related illnesses that can shorten their lives, such as diabetes, arthritis, or kidney disease. Drs Ling and Carey will discuss causes of weight problems in pets, health problems that overweight pets may face, and ways to help pets lose weight.
Weight control and management has been cited by veterinarians as one of the most important things pet owners can do to increase the length of the lives of their pets, says a pet wellness report published in 2011 by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and Hill’s Pet Nutrition. According to veterinarians, overfeeding is the most common mistake pet owners make in feeding their dogs or cats.
Sponsored by AVC Friends and Family, the workshop is part of AVC’s Community Workshop Series, which won a silver medal from the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education in 2011 for Best Community Outreach Initiative.
Everyone is welcome. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. For information, contact (902) 566-0589 or visit upei.ca/avc
