17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Camille Scherger and Matthew Mancina, the 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 28 to February 3!

Camille Scherger is a second-year science student fro Lloydminster, Alberta and a goalie on the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Hockey team. Scherger gave up just a single goal in the last three games stopping 64 of 65 shots, as the Panthers defeated Mount Allison and St. Francis Xavier University, but lost 1鈥�0 to Dalhousie University. 鈥淪huggs has been playing with a lot of confidence, strong rebound control, and gives us an opportunity to put points on the board,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson.

Matthew Mancina is a second-year business student from Windsor, Ontario and a goalie with the 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Hockey team. Mancina had a .949 save percentage in the Panthers 4鈥�2 victory over Universit茅 de Moncton. 鈥淢atthew was very good and made key saves in key moments,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淓arly in the game, U de M had a five-on-three penalty plan. There were a couple of big saves, we killed the penalties, and even scored a short-handed goal. It was a big boost, and Matthew was dialled in the rest of the game.鈥�

The 17吃瓜 Music Department Recital Series will present 鈥淰ariations鈥� featuring David Rogosin on piano. The concert is Saturday, February 9 at 7:30 pm in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall of 17吃瓜鈥檚 Steel Building.

Rogosin divides the program into three sections: a central part consisting of tonal music by Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin, flanked on either side by non-tonal works. Two late Renaissance composers precede: the Englishman Orlando Gibbons, and Jan Pieters Sweelinck from the Netherlands. The program will close with post-tonal contemporaries: first the American composer (and Tin Pan Alley aficionado) Milton Babbitt, followed by Kevin Morse of Mount Allison University.

鈥淭he groundwork for the variations concept was laid by the earliest keyboard composers, and in many ways, their methods prevailed even through the twentieth century,鈥� said Rogosin. 鈥淏abbitt鈥檚 1956 Semi-Simple Variations鈥攁ll two minutes of it鈥攕tands out from the others in almost every way, yet even there the variation principle is alive and well. As for 鈥榮emi-simple,鈥� Babbitt is characteristically tongue-in-cheek. They are insanely complex, though I hasten to reassure you鈥攖hey are delicate and harmless, and I have come to love playing them as much as the others.鈥�

Pianist David Rogosin has performed across Canada, in the American Midwest, the Caribbean and France. Praised for the brilliance, clarity, and passion of his performances, he is highly regarded as a performer, adjudicator, and clinician. Aside from solo recitals, Rogosin is a frequent collaborator and chamber player with a particular passion for the two-piano repertoire. He has released two solo recordings, Incandescence (2005) and Evocation (2012), the latter nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at that year鈥檚 ECMAs.

Professor at Mount Allison University since 2001, he was awarded that institution鈥檚 Paul Par茅 Excellence Award in 2013. His first sabbatical in 2007鈥�08 was spent in Paris preparing a recital program based on Messiaen鈥檚 Visions de l鈥橝men for two pianos. A second sabbatical in 2015鈥�16 was used to prepare two new solo programs, Variations and Ludus Tonalis, a program centered around Paul Hindemith鈥檚 contrapuntal opus of the same name, a kind of twentieth-century Well-Tempered Clavier. A month of this time was spent as artist in residence at The Banff Centre.

Rogosin holds a master鈥檚 degree from the Universit茅 de Montr茅al and a doctorate in performance from the University of British Columbia. Apart from classical music he enjoys jazz, world music, cooking and woodworking, and holds the rank of shodan in aikido, a martial art that he has taught on the Mount Allison campus since 2015.

Admission is $25 for adults and $10 for students. Tickets are available at the door.

Dr. Susan Dawson, professor of anatomy at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC), 17吃瓜 (17吃瓜), has been named a 2019 3M National Teaching Fellow by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) and 3M Canada.

Each year, STLHE and 3M Canada reward exceptional teaching and learning at Canadian universities by selecting ten teaching fellows. Dr. Dawson was nominated for the prestigious award by Dr. Etienne C么t茅, professor of cardiology at AVC.

In his nomination letter, Dr. C么t茅 says that Dr. Dawson believes in allowing students to develop their own aptitudes and skills within a framework she provides as their professor rather than prescribing the path they follow. She empowers students to drive their own education, providing guidance when needed.

鈥溾�� Sue is a deeply respected, outstanding teacher of veterinary anatomy. However, it is Sue鈥檚 courageous and innovative work outside the anatomy classroom that explains her outsize impact on 17吃瓜鈥檚 Faculty of Veterinary Medicine鈥攖he Atlantic Veterinary College鈥攖he broader 17吃瓜 community, and the world at large.鈥�

She is well-known for innovation and leadership in the classroom and beyond. In 1997 she created and implemented a course called Veterinary Integration of Structure and Function at AVC; this case-based learning approach is now the norm in most veterinary colleges. She also uses innovative methods and tools to teach her students and has championed the importance of teaching communication, ethics, interpersonal skills, and wellness in veterinary education. She is AVC鈥檚 inaugural director of instructional design and teaching innovation and an ex-officio member of the College鈥檚 curriculum committee.

Dr. Dawson has influenced teachers at 17吃瓜 and other institutions through presentation of her work on teaching and learning at 14 regional, national, and international pedagogical conferences; creation of a mentorship platform for new faculty across 17吃瓜; and peer review of manuscripts submitted for publication in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education. She has won numerous teaching and leadership awards.

鈥淥n behalf of 17吃瓜, I congratulate Dr. Dawson on this great accomplishment,鈥� said 17吃瓜 and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淲ith her dedication and passion for teaching and learning, she is most deserving of this honour. She is a leader in the development of innovative teaching strategies as well as with her service to the University. I am so very pleased to see her recognized as a 3M National Teaching Fellow.鈥�

Dr. Greg Keefe, dean of AVC, also congratulated Dr. Dawson on her achievement. 鈥淒r. Dawson鈥檚 exemplary work as a teacher, mentor, and leader has helped us improve the way we teach veterinary medicine and enhance the strength of our program. As director of instructional design and teaching innovation, she has had a positive impact across the College.鈥�

Dr. Dawson is the seventh faculty member at 17吃瓜 to be named a 3M National Teaching Fellow. Other 3M National Teaching Fellows at 17吃瓜 are Dr. Shannon Murray and Dr. Brent MacLaine, Department of English; Dr. Brian Wagner, Department of Chemistry; Dr. Philip Smith, Department of Psychology; Dr. Fiona Walton, Faculty of Education; and Dr. Etienne C么t茅, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

Congratulations, Dr. Dawson!

Students from 16 of the world鈥檚 top international business schools have converged on 17吃瓜 for the 24^th Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) Worldwide Case Competition championship. Over a week of intense competition, students will draw on every ounce of skill, training and teamwork they have to prove they are the best of the best. This is the first time in the competition鈥檚 24-year history that an institution in the Maritimes has been chosen as host.

NIBS is a worldwide association of business schools united by a belief in the importance of global perspective, cultural insight, and international experience in management education. Founded in 1993, the organization has more than 70 member institutions in over 30 countries.

鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be holding this year鈥檚 competition in Charlottetown, and grateful to the 17吃瓜 organizing team for making it possible,鈥� said Hans van Oudheusden, president of NIBS. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a testament to the excellence and international reach of the 17吃瓜 Faculty of Business. These students are some of the best and brightest anywhere in the world. The NIBS Case Competition gives them an opportunity to connect with their peers from other countries and see business from different perspectives. It鈥檚 a transformative experience that will connect them to PEI for the rest of their lives.鈥�

Since 1996, a key component of the NIBS portfolio has been the Worldwide Case Competition. The process begins with a qualifying round, involving more than 30 top business schools from across Canada and around the world. Participants compete in teams of four鈥攐ne team per school鈥攁nd have eight hours to analyze a case and prepare a report with their recommendations.

17吃瓜鈥檚 Faculty of Business has enjoyed tremendous success over most of the last decade in case competitions around the world, including NIBS, punching well above its weight and drawing the attention of The Globe and Mail鈥檚 Report on Business. This track record of success, wrote the Globe, 鈥渞aised the profile of a business school that offers a four-year undergraduate business administration degree and an executive MBA program. The school has scored top-three finishes in at least four competitions a year over the past five years.鈥�

The top 16 teams advance to the championship round, hosted this week at 17吃瓜, where the winner is determined through a series of head-to-head matches. With as little as three hours between the time they receive their cases and the moment they present their solutions to expert judges, teams need every ounce of insight, training and teamwork they can muster. In each match, the deliverable is a 20-minute presentation, followed by 10 minutes of Q&A.

A key element of the NIBS case competition is judging. While some competitions rely primarily on academics to evaluate the ideas and solutions proposed by students, NIBS also reaches out to senior managers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers who understand the realities of doing business. 17吃瓜鈥檚 Faculty of Business has tapped its extensive network of alumni and industry mentors to ensure that teams are being judged by the best minds in Canadian business.

鈥淲e are very proud to be hosting this prestigious business competition as part of the celebrations for 17吃瓜鈥檚 50th anniversary,鈥� said Jurgen Krause, dean of the Faculty of Business at 17吃瓜. 鈥淚t gives us the unique opportunity to showcase the excellent work being done at the Faculty of Business on the global stage. The success of this competition would not be possible without our NIBS organizing committee, chaired by Mary Whitrow, our devoted faculty and staff, and all the volunteers who are helping us ensure that the competition runs smoothly this week.鈥�

PLEASE NOTE: ALL SPACES FOR THIS PROJECT ARE NOW FILLED

A 17吃瓜 Faculty of Education research project is seeking children in grades 4 to 8 who need a little extra help with math, or simply enjoy doing math. Beginning March 5, students will be invited to a free, eight-week after-school program. In these one-hour sessions, students will have an opportunity to develop foundational skills in key areas which act as building blocks for higher-level math.

The program will begin with strategies for addition and subtraction and move onto multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals.

This after-school program is part of a 17吃瓜 Faculty of Education research project. Students will complete short pre- and post- assessments for each lesson and provide feedback on the different strategies used to teach mathematics.

For more information, or to sign up your child, contact Dr. Tess Miller at tsmiller@upei.ca. Please indicate your child鈥檚 grade level and ability as struggling, doing okay, or excelling. Parents will be emailed a letter of information describing the study and a letter of consent giving your child permission to participate.

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Jane McLaughlin and Milorad Sedlarevic, the 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for February 11 to 17!

Jane McLaughlin is a fifth-year nursing student from Fortune, PEI and a forward on the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Basketball team. The Panthers won their final two home games of the season over the weekend, completing the first perfect home record for the women in 30 years. McLaughlin notched five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes of play on Saturday鈥檚 Senior Day win over Acadia University. 鈥�Jane had a great weekend for us, specifically helping pull us out of a tough stretch on Friday night with her shooting,鈥� said coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淚n the bigger sense, Jane has had a great season and a exemplary career with the Panthers. I鈥檓 just happy to have been a small part of it in this, her final year of eligibility.鈥�

Milorad Sedlarevic is a fifth-year business student from Jesenice, Slovenia and a forward on the 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Basketball team. The Panthers split a pair of games against Acadia University over the weekend to close the season. Sedlarevic had an outstanding game Saturday, putting up 25 points, shooting six for seven from the three-point line. He also pulled down a season-high eight rebounds. 鈥淥n his final night as a Panther at home, in front of the home-town crowd, Mickey pulls off his best performance of the season in a must-win game against Acadia to keep the Panthers鈥� playoff hopes alive,鈥� said coach Darrell Glenn. 鈥淢ickey is very deserving of high praise. He has an unbelievable work ethic and leads by example in that regard every day at practice.鈥�

This year, Vagabond Productions takes its audience back to the Renaissance, but not for a visit with the familiar playwright you might expect. It isn鈥檛 very often directors and theatre troupes venture into the realm of the Renaissance without Shakespeare being involved in some respect. This year, however, Dr. Greg Doran and the cast and crew are presenting a show that has no known author.

Don鈥檛 mistake that for meaning there won鈥檛 be familiarity. The classic Renaissance comedic stylings and flowing iambic pentameter are still very much present and accounted for. Vagabond is looking to take this show and run with it in an over-the-top fashion so uproarious laughter will be an unavoidable pleasantry. If you liked The Princess Bride, you鈥檒l love A Most Pleasant Comedy of Mucedorus.

If you would like to catch a classic, family-friendly Renaissance-style show you have never seen before, make sure to head over to the Faculty Lounge in the SDU Main Building at 17吃瓜 from March 12 to 16. Doors open at 7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay-what-you-can, but space is limited. There are no pre-sale tickets available.

For more information, contact Vagabond Productions at gdoran@upei.ca, (902) 566-6013, or through its .
