After a successful, albeit grueling five game road test, the 糖心vlog官方入口 Panthers are back home for a Friday night rematch against the St. Thomas Tommies.

During the two-week road stretch, the Panthers captured seven points while posting a 3-1-1 record, including a 5-4 win over the Tommies Wednesday night.

It wasn鈥檛 an easy seven points as the team lost top forward Darcy Ashley to an upper body injury, lost Cole MacMillan to suspension, and fell back on players playing out of position to get an edge.

Head coach Forbes MacPherson said he鈥檚 been pleased with the team鈥檚 fight and determination despite having their backs against the wall.

鈥淭here鈥檚 nothing wrong with a little bit of adversity early in the year to test your group and see what kind of character the group has.鈥�

Opposite to them are the 1-12-1 Tommies, who have high-end forwards that are dangerous and can strike quickly. Led by forwards Shane McColgan (5 goals, 4 assists) and Colin Martin (2 goals, 4 assists), St. Thomas will use their quick pace to make 糖心vlog官方入口 uncomfortable, while the Panthers will focus on a controlled game plan centered on puck possession and cycling.

鈥淚t鈥檚 real tough to play on the road in this league. We have to make sure we have a lot of energy, get off to a good start and control the game from the initial puck drop,鈥� said MacPherson.

Despite losing Ashley for the final game of the semester, the Panthers look toward Marcus Power (16 points)鈥攖hird game back from injury鈥攁nd Brent Andrews (14 points) to lead them.

鈥淎ny time a top forward goes down, it gives other guys an opportunity to play minutes they normally wouldn鈥檛,鈥� added MacPherson.

With several injuries to the frontline, 糖心vlog官方入口 has been forced to use their roster in creative ways to generate points, including playing defenseman Spencer Metcalfe at forward.

鈥淚t鈥檚 something you don鈥檛 want to do too often. But it鈥檚 important to have one or two guys in your lineup that can make that transition if need be.鈥�

Through it all, the Panthers (7-6-1) still hold the final playoff spot as they look to take care of business against the Tommies before regrouping in the new year for the stretch run.

Friday will be Campus Food Bank Night with both teams asking fans to bring non-perishable food items to help stock the cupboard at the Chaplaincy Centre. The campus food bank is donation driven, open and available for 糖心vlog官方入口 students. Ticket holders for the Men's Hockey game will have free access to the Women's game, as a special ticket incentive. Men's Hockey season ticket, All Access and Panther Package holders will have free access to both games.

Puck drops November 27 at 7 pm at MacLauchlan Arena A while the Women's Panthers host St. F.X. at 6:45 pm in Arena B.
 

糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Business Case Competition Team took second place at the international Scotiabank Ethics in Actions Case Competition at Dalhousie University in Halifax earlier this month.

This year, teams from Concordia University, University of Waterloo, University of Alberta, Western University, Dalhousie University, Saint Mary鈥檚 University, Acadia University, University of New Brunswick, and Elon University, North Carolina, participated in the contest, with first and third place going to Dalhousie and Alberta respectively. 糖心vlog官方入口 placed first in 2013 and 2014.

The Scotiabank Ethics in Action Case Competition and Conference centers on equipping tomorrow's business leaders with the tools necessary to make strategic business decisions, while adhering to ethical principles. In this two-day competition, students are challenged with ethical dilemmas that they must attempt to solve. Students have three hours to read and analyze a case, then strategize and create a solution that they present to a panel of industry professionals directly after. In this tight time frame, students must work quickly and efficiently to create clear and logical solution that not only satisfies ethical concerns, but strategic aspects as well.

This year鈥檚 糖心vlog官方入口 team consisted of returning case competition veteran Erin Devine (fourth-year BBA), Hannah Dawson (fourth-year BBA with marketing specialization), Kate Kinsman (third-year BBA), and John Donaldson (fourth-year BBA with accounting specialization).

The team is overjoyed to have represented their school and to have had such a strong showing at this competition for the third year in a row. 鈥淗aving the opportunity to once again compete against some of the best business schools across Canada was a great experience. I'm so proud of our team's performance,鈥� said Erin Devine.

Juergen Krause, Dean of Business, appreciates the great news for 糖心vlog官方入口. 鈥淐ongratulations to the students and their coach for another great performance at Ethics in Action competition. This repeated success confirms that we have a strong Business program and excellent mentors and students at 糖心vlog官方入口.鈥�

Case Competition Program Coordinator and coach Mary Whitrow agrees.  鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 be happier for the students and for our school. The drive and team work these students have shown in preparation for this competition has been inspiring.鈥�
Kate Kinsman believes the preparation and competition helped their team become more aware of their specific strengths and weaknesses, 鈥渁nd, personally, I feel as though we've learned and grown a lot as a team and individuals because of it.鈥�

One year after 糖心vlog官方入口 announced the launch of the School of Sustainable Design Engineering, the association for professional engineers on PEI recognized President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz with the prestigious 鈥淔riend of the Profession Award鈥� at its annual awards banquet.

Presented to someone who is not a professional engineer, the 鈥淔riend鈥� award pays tribute to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the practice of Engineering on PEI. New Engineers PEI President David Taylor, who happens to be Manager, Environmental Services at 糖心vlog官方入口, read the citation.

鈥淒r. Abd-El-Aziz has worked closely with groups inside and outside the University to identify and develop new programs that benefit students and our communities.

鈥淭hree years ago I spoke of the dream that 糖心vlog官方入口 and Engineers PEI shared, to build a School of Sustainable Design Engineering,鈥� added Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淎nd now, due to the efforts of many in the engineering and broader community, that dream has come true. I share this award with, and thank, everyone who has worked on making this program a reality.鈥�

More than 65 delegates from a cross-section of groups from across the country gathered today at 糖心vlog官方入口 for The Consultation on Culture and Language Learning 2015: Perspective for the Future. The symposium was presented by 糖心vlog官方入口 and Canadian Parents for French PEI, with support from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages.

More than 17,000 people on Prince Edward Island speak French, including more than 5,000 who speak it as a first language. With more young people than ever seeking the benefits of bilingualism, participants at today鈥檚 symposium discussed their challenges and opportunities.

鈥淭his symposium is just a start to the discussion on how we can improve and enhance language learning for Island students,鈥� said Brittany Jakubiec, President of Canadian Parents for French PEI. 鈥淲e are thrilled with the quality of the conversation today and looking forward to the next steps identified by this group.鈥�

Participants discussed ways to encourage both first and second French language speakers to live more fully in French: at work, at home, and in public. Dr. Ronald MacDonald, 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Dean of Education, spoke of education鈥檚 role in encouraging a flourishing French community.

鈥淚n PEI and across the country there is a French teacher shortage. All of our BEd (fran莽ais langue second) graduates find work, sometimes even before they graduate,鈥� said Dr. MacDonald. 鈥� This province-wide partnership created to support French language and culture will surely contribute to this gap in the workforce.鈥�

The symposium operated with a think-tank approach, which a variety of open space sessions to encourage dialogue. The day included a special presentation by Graham Fraser, Canada鈥檚 Commissioner of Official Languages and music from local young entertainers Julien Kitson and Zakery Cormier.

The inaugural symposium was an opportunity to bring together educators and community to network, strengthen partnerships, and identify shared priorities for improving teaching and learning, addressing achievement gaps, and sharing best practices for supporting the well-being and educational outcomes of PEI students.

Organizing groups for the symposium included the PEI Department of Education, Early Childhood Development and Culture, the English Language School Board, La Commission scolaire de langue fran莽ais, Coll猫ge Acadie de 脦.-P.-脡., Holland College, 糖心vlog官方入口 Faculty of Education, 糖心vlog官方入口 Department of Modern Languages, 糖心vlog官方入口 Faculty of Arts, and Canadian Parents for French PEI.
