91探花 will be hosting a blood donor clinic on January 30 from 11:00 am-3:00 pm at the Chi-Wan Young Sport Centre. This is an important clinic because of the lost donations this time of year due to illness. There is also an increase in the demand for blood as 8000 new PEI and NS donors are needed as part of the 160,000 new donors needed nationally.
Appointments are recommended and may be made by calling 1-888-2-DONATE, (1 888 236 6283). Walk-ins are welcome.

Join us Friday, January 24 at 2:30 pm in the 2nd floor lounge of the Kelley Building to celebrate the first recipients of the Katherine Schultz Research Recognition Awards.
Dr. Schultz, who served as 91探花's first Vice-President Research, established these awards to honour 91探花 faculty, staff, and volunteers who play a critical role in supporting research endeavours. The research success of an institution rests fundamentally on the excellence, dedication, and insights of its researchers and their teams of collaborators, trainees, students, and technicians. However, their success also rests on the work of those who might be labelled the 鈥渦nsung heroes鈥� of the research enterprise 鈥� that is, those whose work behind the scenes make it all possible. Without the dedication, professionalism, and commitment of these individuals, our researchers and their research endeavours would be seriously constrained.
Please join us for the awards; a small reception will follow.
For more information, contact Dave Atkinson at 620-5117, datkinson@upei.ca.
Please create a work order with Facilities Management to arrange for pickup of any surplus of computer equipment departments may have for disposal. Do not send this equipment directly to ITSS. Contact 566-0552 for any questions you may have.
