The UPEI Healthy Campus Committee, in conjunction with the Fair Treatment Office, invites all students, staff, and faculty, and the broader community to wear pink on Wednesday, February 27, to raise bullying awareness and help make our campus a respectful and safe place to learn and work. In Canada, anti-bullying is promoted by wearing pink on the last Wednesday of February to symbolize a no-tolerance policy on bullying. Last year, 6.4 million people took part in “Pink Shirt Day.” Learn more about Pink Shirt Day by visiting http://www.pinkshirtday.ca/. For more information on UPEI’s Pink Shirt Day, contact Peggy Leahey at (902) 566-6498 or mleahey@upei.ca.

Thought of moving some of your teaching online but don't know where to start? We've planned two, half days over the break to introduce you to some of the possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a sense of what services you can use to help you get started. The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am-12:30 pm on the morning of February 20. The sessions will be held in McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided. There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at: lmmackinnon@upei.ca We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and are both meant to be attended.

In recognition of the outstanding performance of our faculty and staff and their dedication to students and community—on-campus, provincially, and globally— a number of annual awards have been created to acknowledge their efforts and achievements, and to celebrate their contributions to our success as an institution. Up to 10 Presidential Awards of Merit for UPEI Faculty and Librarians and four Presidential Awards of Merit for UPEI Staff will be awarded in 2013 and presented during a celebration of colleagues to be held on Monday, May 6, 2013. Location and time will be announced soon. Ryan Johnston, Director of Human Resources will lead the process and chair the committees to select award recipients. Nominations for both faculty and staff awards close on March 8, 2013. For further details on the awards and the nomination process, please visit: upei.ca/presidentialawards.
