Reflection is the mediator between knowledge and experience and is a vital skill for instructional professionals in order to continuously improve their teaching. In this workshop, participants will be provided with exercises to practice reflection daily over a 30 day period. This is a collaborative learning experience as workshop participants will share between them and comment on their daily reflections. This workshop consists of two face-to-face sessions (July 31 and August 31, 12:00-1:00 PM, Rm 292 Robertson Library) with the remainder of events, occurring between those sessions, online. Register early as space is limited for this workshop. REGISTER

Dr. Kathleen MacMillan, AVC Equine Ambulatory Service, will give a community workshop on Wednesday, July 11, about strangles, a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the upper respiratory system of the horse. The presentation will take place in AVC’s Lecture Theatre A at 7:00 pm.

She will talk about the symptoms of strangles, diagnosis and treatment, and ways to reduce the risk of infection. Last month, several cases of strangles were diagnosed in horses in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI. The bacteria causing the illness is easily transmitted by nose-to-nose contact between horses or from things that come in contact with nasal discharge from a sick horse, such as clothing, hands, or equipment.

Everyone is welcome. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. For more information, call (902) 566-0589.

The UPEI Faculty Association Office will be closed from Monday, July 16 to Friday, July 27, inclusive. The office will re-open on Monday, July 30.
If you require immediate assistance, please contact FA President Nola Etkin at netkin@upei.ca or FA Vice-President Michael Arfken at marfken@upei.ca.
