A major concern of horse owners, colic is a common disorder of the equine digestive system, resulting in abdominal discomfort and often severe pain.

On Tuesday, November 19, 7:00–8:30 pm, Dr. Kathleen MacMillan, Equine Ambulatory Service, Atlantic Veterinary College, will share her knowledge about this painful and potentially deadly condition in horses. She will present information about the different types of colic, recognition of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and reduction of risk of the illness. The event will take place in AVC Lecture Theatre A. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Donations to the AVC Friends and Family gratefully accepted. For information, contact (902) 566-0589 or avc.upei.ca.

Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches around the world. Through the power of the moustache, vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges. Movember encourages men to join the movement by growing a moustache for the 30-days of November. Movember’s not just for Mo Bros. Mo Sistas are an important part of Movember’s success. Once registered, Mo Sistas raise funds and encourage the men in their lives to get involved. Essentially, Mo Sistas do everything that Mo Bros do, without a Mo. Students, faculty and staff are invited to drop by the W.A. Murphy Student Centre, to learn more about the Movember cause and the various issues found in men's health. Start your Movember month off right by getting your Movember progress picture taken (also known as your "Mo-Shot") and be entered into the Biggest Mo on Campus (BMOC) challenge. Movember merchandise will be available for purchase, as well.

Drop by the concourse of the W.A. Murphy Student Centre to get your stache photographed for the Biggest Mo on Campus (BMOC) or participate in a Movember themed challenge!
