Camosun College: British Columbia Announces Expanded Camosun College Business Degree
Camosun College is offering two new business degree majors, in marketing communications management, and human resource management and leadership, Advanced Education Minister Murray Coell announced today.
“Our thriving, knowledge-based economy means there is intense demand in almost every industry for people trained in human resources and marketing communications,” said Coell. “Camosun’s commitment to providing students with relevant training for today’s marketplace will help ensure British Columbia’s competitiveness.”
British Columbia Work Futures projects that to the year 2011 there will be an average employment growth of two per cent in communications, and above-average employment growth of 2.6 per cent in human resources and 3.8 per cent in business services like advertising and promotions.
“These new majors provide students with lots of options, including the opportunity for diploma students to continue studying towards a degree,” said Camosun College president Elizabeth Ashton. “Our students have the reputation of being able to hit the ground running as they enter the workforce, and I am confident that graduates of this program will be successful.”
The two new degree majors complement a bachelor of business administration program in accounting. All three majors will include co-op programs that provide students with practical training in their chosen fields.
“New degrees give students more choice and prepare them for real needs in today’s economy,” said Coell. “It means students don’t have to leave the province to study and it builds on our plan to expand our post-secondary system by 25,000 seats.”
Since 2003, more than 150 undergraduate and graduate degrees have been approved that complement government’s Pacific Leadership Agenda, helping B.C. improve its competitiveness and productivity through education and skills training.

University of Prince Edward Island Has Lowest Tuition Fees in Maritime Provinces
Good news for UPEI students! The Island's university has the lowest tuition fees in the Maritime provinces, according to Statistics Canada. Statistics Canada released its annual survey of tuition fees for full-time students attending Canadian universities on October 18. The survey, which was administered from April to June 2007, included 102 post-secondary degree-granting institutions this year, up from 60 last year. The survey indicates that fees paid by UPEI students in the 2007/2008 academic year declined by 9.8 per cent. The average tuition paid by full-time undergraduate students attending UPEI is $4,440, below the national average of $4,524. Only one other province showed a decline in undergraduate tuition. Full-time graduate students at UPEI paid $2,750, well below the national average of $5,447. Prince Edward Island was one of only two provinces that did not show an increase in tuition fees for international students. At UPEI, international students paid $8,760, in contrast to the national average of $13,985. The lower tuition fees are considered an important factor in the increased numbers of students coming to UPEI from out of province. Full and part-time students transferring from other universities increased by 60.5 per cent this year. UPEI has 23 per cent more first-year students coming from New Brunswick than last year and an increase of 50 per cent from Nova Scotia. As well the number of international students attending UPEI this year rose by 4.1 per cent over last year.

University of Prince Edward Island: Business Professor Publishes Second Edition of Finance Textbook
Professor Sean Hennessey, who teaches at the UPEI School of Business Administration, has released the second edition of his popular textbook, Principles of Corporate Finance, which he co-authored with Dr. Lawrence Gitman, a professor of finance at San Diego University. The first edition, published by Pearson Education Canada, a division of Prentice Hall, is currently being used in undergraduate and graduate programs across Canada. "UPEI is proud that Dr. Hennessey's textbook has been so successful that it necessitated a second edition. I am confident that the new edition will provide business students throughout Canada and the United States with a valuable resource in the area of corporate finance, given the combined expertise of Dr. Hennessey and Dr. Gitman," says UPEI President Wade MacLauchlan. Principles of Corporate Finance presents concepts, techniques, and practices that students require to make corporate financial decisions in a competitive, global business environment. The new book incorporates a proven teaching/learning system that integrates pedagogy with concepts and practical applications. It has been updated to present current and emerging issues and techniques that affect the practice of financial management. Clear writing and generous use of examples make the textbook an easily accessible resource for students of all abilities. "The desire to write this textbook came out of my experience teaching introductory corporate finance," says Dr. Hennessey. "Students want a book written in plain English that ties concepts to reality. They also want demonstrations of financial concepts, tools, and techniques, not just abstract descriptions. I wanted to provide students with a book that met these goals and which clearly presents the principles of Canadian corporate finance in an engaging, easy-to-read, and understandable style." Principles of Corporate Finance is Professor Hennessey's second book. His first book, Principles of Managerial Finance, also co-authored with Dr. Gitman, was published in 2003. "It's exciting to see the second edition being published. Both books have done remarkably well. It's a challenging market in which to get published by the major textbook publishing houses," notes Roberta MacDonald, Dean of Business. "Professor Hennessey's efforts and success are indicative of the high quality of our professors and the calibre of education offered here at the School of Business Administration." Sean Hennessey teaches in the areas of Corporate Finance, Investment Management, Business Research, and Personal Finance. He has taught at UPEI since 1984.

University of Alberta Centenary Celebrations Announced
The University of Alberta today announced its Centenary 2008 celebrations with the unveiling of the student-produced centenary logo and the announcement of a number of the major signature events, including the Festival of Ideas featuring acclaimed author Salman Rushdie. The U of A Centenary will be celebrated during the 2008 calendar year to mark the 100th anniversary of the first classes commencing in September 1908 in borrowed space in what is now Queen Alexandra School. Then-student, now alumna, Katie Arndt's design was the winning entry for the logo competition and features a design with energy and a sense of fun. Her design focuses on the number 100 and evolved to include the flavour of early campus architecture. Arndt conducted research on the university's beginnings and in particular its first buildings: Rutherford House, Pembina Hall, the Old Arts building and the old Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. (Isn't it Dentistry and Pharmacy? DentPharm?)The outcome is a design of no one particular building, rather one which draws inspiration from all of them. A highlight of the Centenary will be something that has never been done before in Canada: the Prime Minister's Conversation Series. The University of Alberta will host each of the six living former prime minister's of Canada in a conversation with former university Board of Governors Chair and Member of Parliament, the Honourable Jim Edwards. The prime minister's will have the opportunity to reflect on an issue that was pivotal during their respective administrations that still looms large for society today.

Memorial University Engineering Students Design a New Strait of Belle Isle Ferry
The ferry link between the Labrador Straits and the Island of Newfoundland is a perennial concern to the residents of the Labrador Straits as well as to the thousands of tourists who visit the Straits every year. It is for this reason that three Engineering students from Memorial University are hoping their concept design for the Strait of Belle Isle ferry will be taken seriously by the provincial government. Evan Martin, Heather Brown and Jessica Coffey, students in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, collaborated on a concept design for a ferry that could handle the winter ice in the Straits area and still be able to accommodate the summer tourists and regular users, including the transportation and shipping industry. The concept design being completed will be capable of handling the capacity of the current vessel, the MV Apollo. Included in the design is a plan for tourist amenities on the main deck, including an expanded gift shop and cafeteria. In order to accommodate the growing demands on this route, a second vessel may be required during the tourist season.This report, completed in July, is the culmination of a semester's work for the three students, and represents the first part of a two-semester project. The project will be completed at the end of the upcoming winter semester with the issuing of a final report. "This project was tremendously rewarding, as it has practical value and has the potential to drastically improve an essential transportation link for the people of Southern Labrador," said Evan Martin, the project leader. The request to design the ferry came from a workshop organized by the Harris Centre, in partnership with the Labrador Straits Development Corporation and the Southeastern Aurora Development Corporation, held in May 2006. Dag Friis, professor of Engineering and supervisor of the team, concluded that it's time for government to seriously look at new ferries for this region. "The Apollo has outlived its useful life and was even aged compared to normal ship life expectancies, when it was purchased from the Baltic for use in the Straits. Our conclusion is that, for the type of class you need for the Straits, you can't find an existing ship like it, you have to build one. If the people of Southern Labrador want year-round service, then a new ship is the answer; two even better!"The students and their professor hope that their report will encourage the provincial government to build a new vessel in the province, in support of the local shipbuilding industry.

Town and Gown Committee Thrilled Hundreds of Student Housing Units to be Built at University of Ontario Institute of Technology
The Oshawa Town and Gown Committee is thrilled that the work and effort of many committed partners has led to the announcement of hundreds of new student housing beds at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). An additional 800 students beds will be available on campus by September 2009 for students in the upper years of their programs of study, with 350 expected to be available as early as September 2008. In an effort to further attract students, the new space will be created as apartment-style units on the west side of the Oshawa, Ontario campus, providing students with the opportunity to live an independent lifestyle that is similar to being off campus. This will bring the total number of student housing spaces to more than 2,100. "The members of the Town and Gown Committee welcome the news of the new housing initiative," said Michelle Bray, Town and Gown chairperson. "It is gratifying to know the work of the committee over the past several months has resulted in this significant development. UOIT and Durham College have heard our messages and they have responded in a positive way. The committee thanks all of those involved at Durham College, UOIT and the Student Association for their hard work and commitment. "We also thank the UOIT and Durham College Boards of Governors for taking this important step toward achieving their vision for the future. We look forward to continued co-operation as we all work toward a healthy and harmonious relationship between our educational institutions and the surrounding communities." Established in the fall of 2006, the mission of the Oshawa Town and Gown Committee is to address the needs and concerns of Durham College and UOIT faculty and students, the neighbouring communities surrounding the campus, the interests of the City of Oshawa and to work towards peaceful and harmonious relations. The committee is comprised of representatives for the City of Oshawa, local residents, the Durham Regional Police Services, UOIT, Durham College and the student body.
