As a part of "Social Justice Week" arranged by the DSJS community of UPEI, Rants and Raves is HERE! These rants will be about anything folks believe in that they believe deserves to be said. The rants will be a diverse collection of happy, sad, angry, intellectual, goofy, funny, passionate and excited. This event is always a great time and we look forward to seeing you come out and support those who have something to say! Spread the word!

Have you heard of the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) committee at UPEI? We're doing what we can to sponsor student from refugee camps so that they can come study at UPEI, but most of the students who finish high school in the camps are boys. There are FOUR TIMES more boys than girls in schools in refugee camps! To actively help improve this ratio we are putting on a night of glow-in-the-dark UFIT to support the Shine A Light Campaign. Money from the event ($5 entry per person) will help girls in refugee camps through remedial classes, scholarships, and solar lights so that they can study after dark. The end of the semester can be overwhelming and so can the refugee crisis. This event will give you the chance to take an evening to de-stress and, at the same time, do something practical to help refugees.

In July 2011, the family of Harry and Marjorie MacLauchlan of Stanhope, PEI made another leadership gift to UPEI to create a substantial program of awards to encourage and recognize student writing achievement. The gift is to honour H. Wade MacLauchlan’s twelve years of service as UPEI president and vice-chancellor, and to recognize the importance of effective writing as a foundational skill for academic success and lifelong learning. The MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing is the largest such student-oriented program in Canada. There are up to 57 prizes available for returning undergraduate students who produced outstanding written work in the previous academic year (September 1 – August 31), as a substantive role in their academic course work or for the broader community audience, and who showed most improvement through a writing support program coordinated through the Webster Centre. Dr. Robert F. Gilmour Jr., Vice-President Academic and Research, cordially invites you to attend the 2016 edition of the MacLauchlan Prizes for Effective Writing Celebration. Please join members of the MacLauchlan family, guest author Deirdre Kessler, and the UPEI community on Friday, November 18, 2016 at 1:30 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall to celebrate the achievements of UPEI students.
