Mental Health Week 2014 (March 10-14) is still looking for staff and faculty volunteers for two initiatives. Like we did last year, we hope to use Twitter to encourage the campus community to think and communicate about mental health. Our Mental Health Week Twitter Champions will be asked to tweet at least once a day about mental health week. Last year we generated over 500 tweets and we'd like to beat that record this year. A second initiative is a wrap-up event that will feature firsthand narratives of how mental health can affect us, whether we have to cope with symptoms ourselves, whether we are supporting friends or family, or even as teaching and service staff. If you'd like to share your story, we will provide some training and support and give you a chance to speak to a dedicated audience. Anyone interested in either of these initiatives is asked to email James Reddin at jareddin@upei.ca.

The AUS women's basketball championships are gearing up this weekend, with games beginning on Friday, March 7.

Two fourth-year biology students of the 91探花 are conducting a survey on urban foxes on Prince Edward Island as part of a project designed to gain insight into the food resources being used by foxes on the Island. The students are asking the general public to complete the short survey (2-3 minutes) which asks questions about observations and sightings of foxes on PEI. Anyone can participate in the study on the condition that they limit themselves to disclosing information about PEI foxes only. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and all data and information collected is completely anonymous. For more information please contact Dr. Marina Silva-Opps at the 91探花 Biology Department and/or Ellen VanKampen (eevankampen@upei.ca) or Melody Chang (cchang@upei.ca). The survey can be accessed via the following link:

The 91探花 Music Department Recital series continues on Saturday, March 15 at 7:30 pm with Montreal classical guitarist Patrick Kearney.

Mr. Kearney teaches guitar at Concordia University in Montreal as well as at Vanier College. He is the founder and director of the Montreal International Classical Guitar Festival and Competition (), which is hosted by Concordia Music. The repertoire for his concert at 91探花 will include Spanish and Mexican guitar repertoire as well as one of Mr. Kearney鈥檚 own compositions. 91探花 vocal professor Sung Ha Shin-Bouey will also be joining Patrick in performance.
