The 17吃瓜 community, and especially the 17吃瓜 Robertson Library, was saddened to learn of the recent death of 17吃瓜 Founder Franklin L. (鈥淔rank鈥�) Pigot.

鈥淪tudents, faculty, and researchers near and far continue to benefit from Frank鈥檚 work with our archival and special collections,鈥� said Donald Moses, University Librarian.

The 17吃瓜 and 17吃瓜 Alumni Association continued their time-honoured tradition of hosting a New Year's Day Levee on January 1. 17吃瓜鈥檚 version of the social event鈥攈eld at the School of Sustainable Design Engineering鈥攑roved yet again to be a popular stop for levee-goers.

A group of international students and alumni provided a helpful hand as they welcomed members of the community, wrote out presentation cards, and helped to collect and hang up coats while several 17吃瓜 music students, attired in Victorian dress, sang seasonal carols.

Both 17吃瓜 hockey teams are returning from the holiday break with new energy and feeling optimistic about the second half of the season.

Teams from the 17吃瓜 Faculty of Business had a tremendous showing at the eleventh annual Montreal Exchange鈥檚 Options Trading Simulation. 

Christmas came early for Larry and Lisa Walsh, of Second North River, New Brunswick, when their dog, Lupina, recovered the use of her legs after suffering a severe neck injury seven weeks ago.
