Fellows of the CPA are members who have made a distinguished contribution to the advancement of the science or profession of psychology or who have given exceptional service to their national or provincial associations.

鈥淭he contributions of Dr. MacQuarrie and her collaborative research, teaching, and service have made tremendous impact in our province, region, and country,鈥� says Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, President and Vice-Chancellor of 糖心vlog官方入口. 鈥淭he entire 糖心vlog官方入口 community is proud to see her recognized as a Fellow of the CPA. I congratulate her on this great achievement and thank her for her leadership.鈥�

In her nomination letter to the CPA, Dr. MacQuarrie鈥檚 colleague Dr. Annabel Cohen writes: 鈥淒r. Colleen MacQuarrie has had an extraordinary impact in her province, in neighbouring provinces, and beyond, as an educator, researcher, and community advocate, giving voice to those who would otherwise be silent, and improving lives for women and for all. Her impact increases daily through her contribution in feminist research and advocacy as exemplified in her collaborative work and spirit, her co-authored and co-edited books, and roles as conference organizer, mentor, educator, and advisor. This kind of productivity, dedication, scholarship and example merits the honour of the CPA Fellow designation.鈥�

Dr. MacQuarrie received her undergraduate degree from 糖心vlog官方入口, her MA from Carleton University, and her PhD from Simon Fraser University. In addition to her teaching and research at 糖心vlog官方入口, she has held the position of chair of the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women.

Her colleague Dr. Philip Smith writes: 鈥淕iving voice to these women and finding solutions to their problems became Colleen鈥檚 passion and the focus of her research, community involvement, and student mentoring. Her feminist action research program was and continues to be directed to better understanding the multi-determined nature of health and wellness across the lifespan and within diverse community settings.鈥�

鈥淒r. MacQuarrie has been a tireless and extremely effective advocate for understanding and addressing women's issues, in particular those related to health and wellness,鈥� said Dr. Robert Gilmour, Vice-President Academic and Research. 鈥淗er impact has been felt both in the classroom and in the community and has importantly influenced the attitudes of academics, politicians, and the public at large. The University is delighted that her advocacy has been recognized by being named a Fellow of this prestigious organization.鈥�

Dr. MacQuarrie will be officially bestowed her fellowship at a ceremony in June at the opening Plenary Session of the Annual CPA meeting. Later at the conference, Dr. MacQuarrie will deliver an invited address to the Section on Women in Psychology (SWAP), as a consequence of having received its Distinguished Member Award last year. Dr. MacQuarrie has held several positions within SWAP, and becomes chair this summer.

Congratulations, Dr. MacQuarrie!

A team from 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 School of Business took first place at the Saint Mary鈥檚 Business Case Competition, held March 4 and 5 at the Sobey School of Business in Halifax. The students had just 18 hours to read, analyze, strategize, and come up with a solution to a business case they had never seen before. Other teams were from Acadia University, Dalhousie University, St. Francis Xavier University, and Saint Mary鈥檚 University.

The winning case team was made up of third-year School of Business students Hannah Dawson and Cullen Mullally. Dawson and Mullally presented to a panel of judges, which included representatives from the organization on which the case was based, the Anglican Foundation of Canada.

鈥淓xecutive director Dr. Judy Rois flew to the competition, giving us the opportunity to directly present our solutions for the Anglican Foundation of Canada and left extremely enthusiastic about our ideas for her foundation moving forward,鈥� said Mullally.

Mullally and Dawson, along with two other team members, competed in September at the Atlantic Schools of Business Case Competition and won first place. They also competed together at Concordia University鈥檚 John Molson School of Business Undergraduate Case Competition in February, where they made the final round.

鈥淭his has been a phenomenal season for our case team, achieving a top three finish in almost every competition we competed in,鈥� said case coach Mary Whitrow. 鈥淚t is exciting to cap off the year with another win.鈥�

鈥淐ongratulations to Hannah and Cullen on their showing,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, Dean of the 糖心vlog官方入口 School of Business. 鈥淭heir results are a testament to the strength of our students and the continuous strengthening of our case competition program here at 糖心vlog官方入口.鈥�

For the second year in a row, a team from 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 School of Business has taken home the silver medal at the Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) Case Competition. The case team from 糖心vlog官方入口, including Erin Devine, Robert McIsaac, Harrison Wood, and Megan Martin, competed in the qualifying round last November where they earned their chance to compete this winter at the championship round at the Greehey School of Business in San Antonio, Texas.

鈥淣IBS is a prestigious international competition, and dozens of schools around the globe compete in the qualifying round each year,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, Dean of the School of Business. 鈥淭o make it into the championship round and then to go on to win a silver medal two years in a row is an exceptional accomplishment. Congratulations to the students and their coach, Mary.鈥�

糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 team was one of only three universities from Canada to make the finals in Texas. Of the other 13 teams competing, two were from China, seven from countries in Europe (Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and the United Kingdom), one from Peru, and three from the United States. The four-day competition was organized in a divisional round-robin format. In each round, students receive a business case that they have never seen before, and they then have three hours to read, analyze, strategize, and come up with a solution and implementation plan for the business鈥檚 problem. Immediately after the three-hour preparation period, students presented their solution to a panel of industry and academic judges, who then questioned the students on their solution. The teams that advanced to the quarter- and semi-final rounds did two cases a day on the last two days. The final two teams that emerged after five rounds of competition were 糖心vlog官方入口 and Carleton University. The 糖心vlog官方入口 team took home its second silver medal.

鈥淚鈥檓 very proud of our team and the results we were able to achieve,鈥� said team member Harrison Wood. 鈥淚 thank the School of Business for preparing us and supporting us throughout this year.鈥�

鈥淣IBS was an invaluable experience,鈥� said Robert McIsaac. 鈥淣ot only did it assert the fact that 糖心vlog官方入口 provides some of the best business education in the world, but it provided the opportunity to see how other cultures approach business, and gave us a spotlight on an international stage.鈥�

Team coach Mary Whitrow said, 鈥淭hese students did some amazing work throughout their marathon of a week in Texas and their perseverance and hard work was rewarded. Thank you to all the professors and the Dean of Business who have supported and helped these students achieve outstanding results for 糖心vlog官方入口.鈥�

A team of four students from 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 School of Business made it to the final round of the 2016 John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition (JMUCC) held at Concordia University in Montreal. The team competed February 21-27 against two dozen teams from business schools around the world.

Members of the 糖心vlog官方入口 case team were Hannah Dawson, John Donaldson, Kate Kinsman, and Cullen Mullally. This was the team鈥檚 third competition together, having competed before at the 2015 Atlantic School of Business Case Competition (where they came in first) and the Scotiabank Ethics in Action Case Competition (where they came second).

JMUCC began with a divisional round-robin tournament. Teams received a score from judges after each match and the team with the most points in each division at the end of the round robin moved onto the final round.

In the first three rounds, teams had just three hours to read, analyze, strategize, and come up with a solution to a business case they had never seen before. They then presented to a panel of judges, who grilled the team with questions about their solution. The fourth and last round had a 24-hour preparation period, where students had access to internet and other resources, and even were able to interview a representative from the company featured in the case. The team achieved the highest score in their division and secured a coveted spot in the finals against the University of Alberta, Concordia University, University of Navarra (Spain), National University of Singapore, and Queensland University of Technology (Australia). In the final, the team re-presented their 24-hour case solution to a new panel of judges, which included the owners of the business. The team did not finish in the top three, but received excellent feedback from the judges.

"JMUCC gave me the opportunity to deal with and present to real, large-scale companies,鈥� said Cullen Mullally. 鈥淭his allowed me to apply my education in a practical setting, but also develop confidence around what I will be able to provide in the real-world of business. The knowledge and relationships I developed at JMUCC will be something I cherish forever."

鈥淛MUCC was an amazing competition,鈥� said Hannah Dawson. 鈥淲e networked with鈥攁nd competed with鈥攕tudents from the top business schools in Canada and around the world. Throughout the week, we were able to gain valuable feedback from industry judges. This experience helped us to raise our thinking to the next level.鈥�

鈥淛MUCC was the best experience of my academic career so far because I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people from around the world, and I was pushed harder than ever to produce some amazing work,鈥� said Kate Kinsman.

Mary Whitrow was the coach of the 糖心vlog官方入口 case team. 鈥淚 am so proud of the students for doing some of their best work at JMUCC. It is a rigorous competition, and they stepped up and showed that 糖心vlog官方入口 has strong students, a strong curriculum, and a strong case program.鈥�
