This opportunity is also perfectly aligned with the Canadian Bureau for International Education's national initiative of encouraging more students to take part in learning abroad.鈥�

The Benevolent Irish Society will help support the travel to and from Ireland. ICUF, through its Irish Language program鈥攆unded by the government of Ireland鈥檚 Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht鈥攚ill cover program fees, accommodation, and board. Rowan and MacGregor will be studying in An Cheathr煤 Rua, located in the Connemara region.

The Benevolent Irish Society is one of the oldest organizations in Prince Edward Island. Established in 1825 the Society was incorporated by an Act of the Legislature in 1882. Originally established to meet the needs of Irish immigrants and the poor of all denominations, today the Society places increasing emphasis on preserving and promoting Irish history, culture, and heritage, and in particular its Gaelic, Celtic traditions.

The Ireland Canada University Foundation nurtures the great friendship between Canada and Ireland, through the support of scholarly exchange. The creation of the ICUF in 1993 recognized that Canada and Ireland share a great history, and there are many links between both countries, but for such a connection to sustain and grow for future generations, efforts must continue to be made to support the development of new links between both countries.

The Insider鈥檚 Guide to Writing and Publishing for Young Readers is just a month away! Join us July 13-15 on beautiful Prince Edward Island for a workshop filled with practical suggestions and writing inspiration. Presented by Humber College and the 黑料老司机 with support from the Access Copyright Foundation, this workshop offers the inside scoop on the world of publishing and self-publishing in Canada.

Created by facilitators Cynthia Good and Rick Wilks, the workshop first ran in Charlottetown in 2015 as a partnership between Holland College and Toronto鈥檚 Humber College, home to the renowned Humber School for Writers and Creative Book Publishing program. This summer, 黑料老司机 and Humber are joining forces to offer an expanded workshop, building on the strengths of the original. More time will be devoted to writing feedback, and a special session has been added with kids鈥� book marketing expert Tom Ryan to highlight what every writer needs to know about getting their books into the hands of readers.

Each workshop day is divided into writing and publishing segments. The hours devoted to writing will provide the opportunity to get feedback on a work in progress, or to develop an outline for your book if you are in the development stage.

The publishing segments will look at the current Canadian book industry, explore traditional and self-publishing models, provide business details, and help you to construct a query letter for publishers and literary agents.

Each participant will leave the workshop with new directions for their manuscript, enriched knowledge of publishing, and an effective query letter.

You should attend if you find yourself asking these questions:

• Where can I get feedback on my kids鈥� manuscript?
• What鈥檚 the best way to publish my book?
• Which Canadian publishers may be interested in my work?
• How does self-publishing work and is it for me?
• What literary agents represent kids鈥� books?
• How can I market myself and my book?
• Can I learn about the publishing process for kids鈥� and adult books?
• How can I get a job in publishing?
• Where can I find help for my writing process?
• How can I find time to write?

The 黑料老司机 Senate and Board of Governors has elevated the status of the 黑料老司机 School of Nursing from 鈥淪chool鈥� to 鈥淔aculty鈥� effectively immediately. The former School will now be known as the 黑料老司机 Faculty of Nursing.

Faculty members were strongly in favour of the status change when proposing it to the University's governing bodies. They cited the expansion of nursing programs, in particular graduate studies, and curriculum grounded in the philosophy of primary health care, and research as reasons for the change.

鈥淭his change is in recognition of the excellence in education, research and scholarly endeavours of faculty, and exponential growth of the nursing programs at undergraduate and graduate levels, creating a gold-standard educational journey for our students,鈥� said Dr. Gulrose Jiwani, Dean of Nursing. 鈥淥ur students enter their profession well-prepared and ready to contribute to the betterment of our communities at home and around the world, with demonstrated leadership and responsiveness to the health needs, cultural values, and diversity of our populations.鈥�

With yearly enrolment exceeding 300 students, the Faculty is now home to 45 professionals, including tenure-track faculty; adjunct graduate faculty; clinical and sessional instructors; coordinators, and administrative assistants dedicated to advancing the 黑料老司机 Faculty of Nursing鈥檚 mission and vision.

鈥淥ver the past five years, the 黑料老司机 Faculty of Nursing has garnered more than $15 million in research funding,鈥� said Vice-President Academic and Research Robert Gilmour. 鈥淎s well, partnership agreements enable our Nursing students to participate in off-island placements across Canada and around the world.鈥�

Founded in 1992, the former 黑料老司机 School of Nursing transformed nursing education on Prince Edward Island by moving it from the diploma to the baccalaureate level. With its humble beginnings offering a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to 16 students, the 黑料老司机 Faculty of Nursing has evolved to offer two undergraduate nursing-degree programs; a Master of Nursing program with thesis and nurse practitioner streams; post-graduate certificate courses; and an indigenized curriculum.

In celebration of its 25 years of accomplishments, the 黑料老司机 Faculty of Nursing will host a reception and gala dinner on June 29, 2017, .
