*We've planned two, half days over the break to introduce you to some of the possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a sense of what services you can use to help you get started. The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am-12:30 pm on the morning of February 20. The workshops will be held in McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided. There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email: Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at lmmackinnon@upei.ca We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and both are meant to be attended. Questions about the event? Contact Daniel Lynds at dlynds@upei.ca

Similar to last year, we will be having a "Pie Your Prof" event on Thursday, January 31, as part of the Student Union's Frost Week 2013 . Students have the chance to place bids on the prof they would like to pie, and the highest bidder gets to pie their prof. Money raised goes towards a "Pimp My Lounge" contest. Frost Week is an important week for the Student Union, as it brings students, faculty, and staff together in a friendly, interfaculty rivalry. If you'd be interested in or willing to be pied in the face, please email Jon at vpactivities@upeisu.ca. We would really appreciate your support!
