Island Studies Press will launch its newest book, Called to Serve: Georgina Pope, Canadian Nursing Military Heroine, by Katherine Dewar, in Summerside on Sunday afternoon, June 24, 2 p.m., at Eptek Art & Culture Centre.
Called to Serve documents the life and times of Prince Edward Island's Georgina Fane Pope (1862-1938), daughter of William Henry Pope and Helen DesBrisay Pope. Her journey takes us from Charlottetown, where, inspired by Florence Nightingale, she developed a "burning desire" to become an army nurse; to the Boston States where she trained; to the battlefields of Africa and Europe where she served as a nursing sister and Superintendent of Nurses―and helped establish the nursing corps of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Matron Pope was the first Canadian nurse decorated with a Royal Red Cross, 1st class.
In 2007 Georgina Pope’s bronze bust became one of the 14 heroic figures forming a part of the Valiants’ Memorial in Confederation Square, Ottawa. She also appears on the Canadian $5 coin.
Katherine Dewar is the author of the award-winning book, Those Splendid Girls: The Heroic Service of Prince Edward Island Nurses in the Great War, 1914-1918. Katherine is retired from a career as a nursing instructor at the PEI School of Nursing, and is now committed to researching PEI’s colourful nursing history. Those Splendid Girls was shortlisted for an Atlantic Book Award, won the Publication of Year award from the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and the City of Summerside’s Heritage and Culture department, and Katherine herself is the recipient of the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation Award of Honour for her outstanding contribution to Prince Edward Island Heritage.
The launch is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Laurie at iis@upei.ca or (902) 894-2881. Books will be on sale for $27.95 in bookstores and online through the UPEI Bookstore from mid-May onward.

With the retirement of Novell network on campus, IT Systems and Services has begun disabling the familiar Novell login screen on computers across campus.
What does this mean for you?
When you first turn on your computer, after you press "Ctrl" + "Alt" + "Delete" the screen will look a bit different.
If you still have the Novell software enabled, your login screen will have a red "N" and you will see the "Computer logon only" link below the password field.
Once ITSS disables the Novell client, your login screen will no longer have a red "N" and "Log on to:" field should now read "ADDS".
You will continue to use the same username and password to login as you always have.
There is no change in functionality to your computer once you have logged in. This only changes the way in which you log-in, and only if your computer still has the legacy Novell client software.
If you have any issues or questions regarding this change, please contact the ITSS Help Desk at 902-566-0465 or helpdesk@upei.ca.

The Institute will be held from the evening of July 23 to the evening of July 26. The venue is the lovely Stanley Bridge Resort in Stanley Bridge, PEI. The resort has set aside a block of rooms for workshop participants. You can reserve your room by contacting the resort: https://stanleybridgeresort.com/
When you reserve your room, mention that you are a participant in FDSI, and you will get a 10% discount. The resort asks that you book your room by June 22 at the latest.
Registration for the workshop will be $800.00 CDN, all taxes and fees included. That fee covers all learning materials; all breakfasts and lunches plus two nutrition breaks a day; the Monday-night reception; and the Thursday-night barbeque banquet. There will be an extra charge of $50.00 for each guest you bring to the banquet. If you are interested in the optional deep-sea fishing expedition, there will also be an extra charge (which you can pay once you have arrived).
The resort is a beautiful old Island venue that is not, unfortunately, wheelchair accessible.
Because there is a limit of 30 participants, please register as soon as possible and by June 15 at the latest. If you have any questions, please write to Gerald Wandio, Program Coordinator of UPEI’s Faculty Development Office, at gwandio@upei.ca.
