Today Dolores LeVangie leaves CER to focus on completing her UPEI master's thesis in Island Studies. We expressed our appreciation for the huge contribution she made as a 10 hour /week Research Assistant.  Her 'research' duties were wide ranging from her January duties to help with the CER contract to review the UPEI Global Issues course. Her RA work extended to research to develop a proposal for CER during this renewal period, and research within UPEI with many units to update the CER membership list and human as well as financial resources.  

For those reading this blog, CER is slowly moving forward to become re-energized with new projects, especially to generate core funding for CER to thrive. CER is supporting two teams who are submitted funding proposals, one internal to UPEI and one to SSHRC. The CER Seminar Series is now underway for the Fall as you will see on the Events section of the website. 

There is a renewed 'energy' around the CER office.  We will hopefully have someone before Christmas who can help to update this website, and make it possible for CER members to contribute through Twitter or otherwise!  We hope you enjoy the photo of Miles Turnbull (Interim Dean) of the Faculty of Education (far right) and Liz (left) saying 'best wishes' to Dolores in the middle!
