On Friday, February 14, UPEI will take part in ONE BILLION RISING—the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls. The campus community is invited to dance together to support the movement. Join us in McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre from 12:15–1:00 pm. ONE BILLION RISING began as a call to action in 2013 based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. One billion women and those who love them will walk out, dance, rise up, and demand an end to this violence. Learn more at www.onebillionrising.org. Both the Advisory Council on the Status of Women and PEI Family Violence Prevention Services (PEI FVPS) will be present as community representatives and supporters. Donations will be accepted in support of PEI Family Violence Prevention Services.

Join us on Tuesday February 11 at 7:00 pm for the UPEI Climate Lab Lecture Series as Dr. Adam Fenech, director of the Climate Lab, presents results from recent coastal erosion research projects conducted on Prince Edward Island. The change in PEI’s coastline has been measured, mapped, and analyzed from 1968 to 2010. Buildings, roads and bridges have been assessed as to their vulnerability to future coastal erosion and sea level rise. Come see how our communities will be affected. Dr. Fenech will present the results of this research including the unveiling of a new interactive 3-D geo-visualization platform known as CLIVE. CLIVE allows stakeholders to interactively explore PEI's coastline, and scenarios of future climate change, sea-level rise and storm surges. The presentation will take place in the Amphitheatre in the Duffy Science Centre. For more information, contact the Climate Lab at 902 620-5221 or climate@upei.ca.
