Join us Friday, January 24 at 2:30 pm in the 2nd floor lounge of the Kelley Building to celebrate the first recipients of the Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards. Dr. Schultz, who served as UPEI's first Vice-President Research, established these awards to honour UPEI faculty, staff, and volunteers who play a critical role in supporting research endeavours. The research success of an institution rests fundamentally on the excellence, dedication, and insights of its researchers and their teams of collaborators, trainees, students, and technicians. However, their success also rests on the work of those who might be labelled the “unsung heroes” of the research enterprise – that is, those whose work behind the scenes make it all possible. Without the dedication, professionalism, and commitment of these individuals, our researchers and their research endeavours would be seriously constrained. Please join us for the awards; a small reception will follow.

The International Relations Office will host the thirteenth annual International Development Week February 3-7. The 2014 theme will be: "International Storytelling," and will encompass events such as an evening international coffee house, international/Olympic trivia, an international opportunities fair for students, an international themed hockey game, and a fundraising reception starring master storyteller Laura Simms. For a full schedule of events, and to purchase tickets to the fundraising reception visit upei.ca/idw.

UPEI student group, the Mindfulness Club, will host an introductory session on transcendental mediation on Friday, January 24 at 7:30 pm in Main Building’s Faculty Lounge. The session will be led by Peter Cameron, certified transcendental mediation instructor with over 40 years of teaching experience in Atlantic Canada.

All are welcome to attend. For more information on the event or on the Mindfulness Club, contact Derrick Biso at dbiso@upei.ca
