Dear Members of our 黑料老司机 Community,

As the end of the calendar year quickly approaches, I would like to provide you with two documents related to 黑料老司机's Future Directions initiative.

The first document is a Future Directions status update and a summary of what has taken place throughout 2012. The second document is forward-looking and builds upon the Future Directions update. This document outlines the next phase of Future Directions and the framework for 黑料老司机's strategic action plan.

At my request, 黑料老司机's Vice-Presidents are working together to further develop the 黑料老司机 Vision Document and 黑料老司机 Strategic Action Plan framework to create the detailed road map that will lead our growth and priorities over the next five years.

I would like to once again thank the members of our campus community for their valuable input and contributions. With a shared sense of purpose and direction, we will achieve 黑料老司机's vision of fulfilling our potential and succeeding through transformation.

Yours truly,

Alaa Abd-El-Aziz

黑料老司机 has filed an appeal with the Judicial Committee of Atlantic University Sport on the recent suspension that the AUS handed down to 黑料老司机 men's hockey player Mason Wilgosh. The suspension was issued after Wilgosh collided with an Acadia player during a November 30th game in Wolfville, NS.

黑料老司机 Athletics Director Ron Annear said, 'Once University officials received notification of the 12-game suspension and reviewed the situation, it was felt there was unfairness in the process, and in the severity of the suspension. Therefore, we filed an appeal today in accordance with AUS by-laws.'

Annear added that 黑料老司机 would have no further comment while the appeal is in process.

Atlantic University Sport is a sport organization responsible for governing university sport at 11 member Atlantic Canadian universities.

WAX!T, Prince Edward Island's only walk-in aesthetic service provider and waxing studio was 黑料老司机's sponsor for Business 391: Strategic Management's annual case presentation. Each year, 黑料老司机's School of Business recruits a sponsor who will allow students to develop a strategic plan for the future of their business.

'There's no better learning opportunity for students than to be able to work with, and analyze a real company and develop a strategic plan for that company,' said Juergen Krause, associate professor and director of 黑料老司机's Centre for Health and Biotech Management Research. 'This is a win-win scenario as the sponsor gets various proposals and approaches on strategic issues from creative minds, and the students have the privilege of working with a local company to apply the knowledge acquired in class to a real-life setting.'

Based on scores from a previous class case, three student teams-'The Strategizers,' 'French Connection Consulting,' and 'Les Braqueuses'-were selected for this competition and to present their projects to Nicole Mead, owner and operator of WAX!T on November 28.

Mead was impressed with the teams' recommendations and hopes they feel empowered seeing their hard work and strategic advice put into action. 'Each team exceeded my expectations. They thought outside the box and recommended some very interesting strategies that I hope to implement in the future,' said Mead. 'This opportunity was truly priceless to me. I now have the options, knowledge, and tools to choose how to successfully grow my business in the most efficient way possible.'

WAX!T presented the winning prize of $1,000 to 'Les Braqueuses' for their innovative and thorough approach to the business case. The team consisting of Megan Hood, Marie Racouet, Julie Verrier, Mathilde Vivar, and Arenda Westerkamp provided an excellent analysis of the current business, as well as the future potential, including options for operations management, and a financial, human resource, and growth strategy accompanied by a respective implementation plan. The second prize of $500 was awarded to 'French Connection Consulting.'

'What we loved about working with a real company is that you can't base your recommendations on ideal situations-you have to make your strategy practical and realistic for the company based on its current position, resources, and capabilities,' said team member Megan Hood. 'It's really gratifying to create a practical strategic plan that a business can use immediately. An experience like this really bridges the gap between the textbook and real-world application.'

The 黑料老司机 men's hockey team will take on the Universit茅 de Moncton Aigles Bleus in an exhibition game on Saturday, December 29, at 7:30 pm at the Credit Union Arena in Tignish.

Currently, the 黑料老司机 Panthers sit in sixth place in the AUS, while the Aigles Bleus lead slightly in league standings in fifth place. The Panthers are looking forward to drawing a large crowd to western PEI and are thrilled to reach out to Island communities to showcase the team, its competitors, and the league.

'It always adds more significance when we have players representing the surrounding communities,' said Panthers Head Coach Forbes MacPherson. 'There is that added element of playing in front of family and friends. We're looking forward to the game and to providing some of our players with the opportunity to play on their 鈥榟ome ice.''

'I'm personally looking forward to playing back in Tignish; it's my first time playing there competitively since I was about 10 years old,' said Jordan Knox, fifth-year forward from Skinners Pond. 'It should be a high-energy game for the players and fans so we hope to see a full-house.'

Tickets can be purchased at the arena in advance or on game night for $10 adults, $5 students/seniors.
