Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research

On Friday, October 7, 2011 representatives from the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) will be on campus to meet with researchers interested in hearing about the work of CIMVHR and potential collaborative research opportunities. Susan Marlin, Queen’s A/VP Research, Dr. Stephanie Belanger, RMC, Associate Director CIMVHR, and Alice B. Aiken, Director of CIMVHR will all be in attendance. Please drop by or contact Jan Coffin, Strategic Research Initiatives Manager, Office of Research Development, UPEI. 566-6479 jdcoffin@upei.ca CIMVHR is building its website and as such would like to have a database of interested researchers from the network partner universities (UPEI being one of the partners). The “Researcher Template” is available from Jan Coffin jdcoffin@upei.ca for researchers at UPEI who may be interested in research relating to military and Veteran health. This information will be used to populate the database with interested researchers so you can find each other, and so that government partners know who you are.

Miss-representation screening

The PEI Coalition for Women in Government, in conjunction with the UPEI Political Studies Society and Interministerial Women's Secretariat is hosting a FREE screening of Miss-Representation to mark Women's History Month. Miss-Representation is a documentary about the difficulties for women to obtain leadership positions and for girls to reach their full potential. Everyone is encouraged to come to the screening. "As the most persuasive and pervasive force of communication in our culture, media is educating yet another generation that a woman’s primary value lay in her youth, beauty and sexuality—and not in her capacity as a leader." There will be FREE popcorn and beverages provided. Doors open at 6:40 pm.
