At a time when many young people are leaving PEI to pursue their education elsewhere, or to take jobs out west, it is refreshing to hear about the ones who come back. And according to Vianne Timmons, Acting Registrar at 糖心vlog官方入口, they鈥檙e coming back at a greater rate than ever before. 鈥淚t is due to the fact that 糖心vlog官方入口 now has the lowest tuition rate in the Maritimes, with the recent 10 per cent cut in tuition. And it is also because of our growing reputation as a quality school. It鈥檚 fabulous to see our students coming back, reversing the trend of out-migration, with transfers up over 30 per cent from last year.鈥�

Emily Campbell and Sara MacPhail are two such students. Both grew up in Prince Edward Island, and both felt the need to get away from home. But now they鈥檙e back. And glad to be here, too.

Emily Campbell graduated from Colonel Gray in 2005. She attended 糖心vlog官方入口 in first year and studied English. 鈥淏ut so many students get in the mindset of leaving. They think鈥攆or whatever reason鈥攖hat they have to get off the Island,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 was no different. I left for
Ontario after first year, thinking I鈥檇 be away for a number of years. But I soon realized how much I missed PEI. I missed it for the very
reasons that I left: home, family, friends. In March I made the decision to come back.鈥�

Daughter of Gordon and Barb Campbell of Charlottetown, Emily grew up quite aware of politics and has a passion for it. She says
she鈥檚 interested in pursuing a law degree when she graduates. 鈥淚 liked English,鈥� she says, 鈥渂ut I love political studies, and I love learning about it. I鈥檇 taken some political studies summer courses here, so I know a few of the professors and look forward to being in their classes this fall.鈥�

Often when students switch universities they tend to lose a credit or two. Emily says, 鈥淚 had no problem at all transferring the credit back. 糖心vlog官方入口 was very accommodating. And because I took some summer courses, I鈥檓 ahead on the number of courses I鈥檒l need to
驳谤补诲耻补迟别.鈥�

鈥淎fter being at university with close to 18,000 students, I鈥檓 looking forward to small class sizes,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t was quite shocking
to go into a lecture theatre with hundreds of students. Here I know I鈥檒l have more of a relationship with my professors.鈥�

Sara MacPhail graduated from Bluefield in 2003. She, too, attended 糖心vlog官方入口 for a year, then headed to Nova Scotia to pursue agricultural studies. 鈥淚鈥檓 from a farming family and I knew I wanted to do something in agriculture,鈥� she says, 鈥渂ut I wasn鈥檛 ready to spend the extra money to leave and then find I didn鈥檛 like it.鈥� She took science at 糖心vlog官方入口, before making the decision to follow her brother and cousin to Nova Scotia, where she studied animal science.

She says she really enjoyed her course work and profs, but decided that she really wanted to come back home. 鈥淭he expense was one of the reasons. This year it鈥檚 $100 less per course than what I was paying. Plus it was hard to find a part-time job and I didn鈥檛 really
like the location. Here I can live at home and save a lot of money, plus there鈥檚 more to do here.鈥�

Sara adds that some of her friends wonder why she鈥檚 coming back. 鈥淢any of them want to leave. But sometimes you just have to go away to realize what you鈥檙e missing.鈥� She鈥檚 now registered in the biology program, and hopes to pursue veterinary medicine when she graduates, with the ultimate goal of working in agriculture, like her parents Linda and Allan MacPhail, and her brother Brandon.

鈥淚鈥檓 so excited to start school in the fall,鈥� she says. 鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to meeting new people, and seeing old friends. And I think鈥擨 hope!鈥攖hat my folks are glad to have me back home, too!鈥�

Approximately 40 graduate students, researchers, and epidemiologists from around the world will participate in the Atlantic Veterinary College's Epi on the Island Workshop from August 15 to 24.

Hosted by AVC's Centre for Veterinary Epidemiological Research (CVER), the workshop features two high-level courses on methods and advanced procedures for analyzing health data, delivered by world-leading experts in the field. Participants from as far away as New Zealand, South Africa, and Norway are attending the event.

"The ongoing, strong international participation in Epi on the Island is very gratifying," says Dr. Ian Dohoo of AVC's Department of Health Management. "Having participants from all over the globe inevitably provides opportunities for future research collaborations and enables our graduate students to mix with veterinary epidemiologists from around the world."

The two-week session will be led by Drs. Henrik Stryhn, Javier Sanchez, and Ian Dohoo of AVC. Dr. William Browne of the University of Bristol, a developer of a software tool to analyze animal health data, will round out the workshop instructors.

"Once again, Epi on the Island is full to capacity, reflecting the strong international interest in the expertise that exists within the Centre for Veterinary Epidemiological Research (CVER)," says Dr. Dohoo.

The Centre for Veterinary Epidemiological Research conducts strategic research for food-producing industries and organizations and is one of the leading centres for animal health epidemiological research in the world. It also serves as a focus for human health researchers carrying out population based research in PEI.

Funded by the four Atlantic provinces, the Atlantic Veterinary College at 糖心vlog官方入口 is Atlantic Canada's centre of excellence for veterinary education, research and service.

How does music affect learning or the absorption of information? How is the ability to recognize new words influenced by age, bilingualism, musical ability and gender? These questions, and many others related to music and language, will be explored during the Department of Psychology's Second Summer Workshop in Auditory Perception and Music Cognition, on Wednesday, August 22, beginning at 1 pm, in the lower level of the Robertson Library.

Presentations will be made by student researchers Andy Gallant, Yee May Siau, Sarah Simpson, Mary Anne Welton, Robert Drew, and Kelti MacMillan, lab director Dr. Annabel Cohen, and guest Tony Reddin. They will focus on the role of music in film and video, a new system for surround sound, sensitive periods in language acquisition, the role of multilingualism in memory for new words, a new mapping approach to biography, and the contribution of music to well-being.

The workshop takes a lighter side between 4:15 and 5:45 pm when the presenters, several of whom are musicians, perform on guitar and voice. Stephen Newman of OCEAN and K-ROCK will emcee the event and present film and music trivia between the acts. Prizes include an original etching by Debra James Percival and a CD by Robert Drew, among many others. Light refreshments will be provided and everyone is welcome.

The 糖心vlog官方入口's Building a Legacy Campaign is $100,000 closer to its final goal of $50 million, thanks to a gift from Atlantic Turbines of Summerside. Atlantic Turbines is a division of Vector Aerospace, an internationally respected aviation repair and overhaul company with operations in Canada, the US, and the UK.

The $100,000 donation will be allocated to the new School of Business Administration building, which is under construction on the 糖心vlog官方入口 campus and scheduled to open by early 2008. John MacDougall and Brian Thompson, both School of Business alumni (BBA'83) who now hold senior management positions with Vector Aerospace, presented the gift. John MacDougall is President of ACROHELIPRO Global Services Inc. and Brian Thompson is President of Atlantic Turbines International Inc.

鈥淎s our company competes daily against strong competitors around the world, we increasingly need a strong link to an excellent institution like 糖心vlog官方入口,鈥� says Brian Thompson. 鈥淭he School of Business's emphasis on creating strong partnerships with private sector companies is an excellent approach. Our contribution to the Building a Legacy Campaign makes sense for the community and for our company.鈥�

鈥淚t's with great pleasure we give back to an institution that has provided so much to me personally, and so much toward making PEI such a great province,鈥� says John MacDougall. 鈥淚f this contribution to better learning facilities at 糖心vlog官方入口 helps to influence the decision of just one person to remain on PEI for their education and career pursuits, it's a success.鈥�

In thanking Atlantic Turbines for their generous gift, Dean of Business Roberta MacDonald noted that support from Island-based businesses is critical to the success of the new School of Business and the 糖心vlog官方入口.

"I am extremely grateful for this gift to our University and to our new School of Business in particular," she said. "The Building a Legacy Campaign has an ambitious $50 million target, but thanks to supportive companies such as Atlantic Turbines, whose managers recognize that 糖心vlog官方入口 plays a critical role in the economic development of PEI, we have reached almost 80 per cent of that goal."

The 糖心vlog官方入口 Building a Legacy Campaign has just entered its final phase and signs have been erected at both entrances of the University to track its progress. The current total stands at just over $38 million. The University has an ambitious strategy in place to raise the remaining $12 million by the end of 2008.
