This Friday February 3rd, the 17吃瓜 Community is invited to come out to the Panthers' Basketball games not only to cheer on the 17吃瓜 players, but also to participate in a show of solidarity for refugees.  The evening will be hosted by 17吃瓜's WUSC (World University Service of Canada) Committee, with the Women's Basketball Team playing at 6pm and the Men playing at 8pm.  So far, through WUSC's Student Refugee Program, the 17吃瓜 Committee has sponsored 24 students from refugee camps. The program helps sponsored students become permanent residents of Canada and complete their post-secondary education while being supported by fellow university students.  The committee members are looking forward to sharing some of the things they've learned and increasing awareness of refugee issues.  The purpose of the event is to build a supportive community, create connections, and share ideas on how to continue helping those who have had to leave their home country.

Love in the Digital Age Vagabond Productions presents Dead Man鈥檚 Cell Phone March 22-25. Would you answer a stranger鈥檚 cell phone? Well, Jean does, and so begins Dead Man鈥檚 Cell Phone, by Sarah Ruhl. The play is a funny take on relationships in the digital age. Jean鈥檚 decision to answer the phone is complicated because its owner is dead. This simple action draws Jean into Gordon鈥檚 world, taking her places she never expected. 鈥淭he play explores a lot of timely issues, given people鈥檚 addiction to their cell phones. The play asks questions about how technology effects relationships,鈥� says director Greg Doran. Once Jean answers Gordon鈥檚 phone, she is learns about his life and his dark secret. 鈥淭he play is really funny and dark at times. It asks questions about love in the digital age, when face to face contact has been reduced, friend has become a verb, and social media has made us antisocial. If you wonder where all of the cell traffic goes, this play is for you.鈥� The play runs March 22 to March 25, 2017, in the Faculty Lounge, in the Main Building, on the 17吃瓜 campus. The doors open at 7 for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay what you can. The play contains adult language, so it may not be appropriate for younger audiences. For more information, you can call 17吃瓜 Theatre Studies at 902-566-6013 or email gdoran@upei.ca.
