Island Studies Press will launch its newest book, Called to Serve: Georgina Pope, Canadian Nursing Military Heroine, by Katherine Dewar, in Summerside on Sunday afternoon, June 24, 2 p.m., at Eptek Art & Culture Centre.
Called to Serve documents the life and times of Prince Edward Island's Georgina Fane Pope (1862-1938), daughter of William Henry Pope and Helen DesBrisay Pope. Her journey takes us from Charlottetown, where, inspired by Florence Nightingale, she developed a "burning desire" to become an army nurse; to the Boston States where she trained; to the battlefields of Africa and Europe where she served as a nursing sister and Superintendent of Nurses―and helped establish the nursing corps of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Matron Pope was the first Canadian nurse decorated with a Royal Red Cross, 1st class.
In 2007 Georgina Pope’s bronze bust became one of the 14 heroic figures forming a part of the Valiants’ Memorial in Confederation Square, Ottawa. She also appears on the Canadian $5 coin.
Katherine Dewar is the author of the award-winning book, Those Splendid Girls: The Heroic Service of Prince Edward Island Nurses in the Great War, 1914-1918. Katherine is retired from a career as a nursing instructor at the PEI School of Nursing, and is now committed to researching PEI’s colourful nursing history. Those Splendid Girls was shortlisted for an Atlantic Book Award, won the Publication of Year award from the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and the City of Summerside’s Heritage and Culture department, and Katherine herself is the recipient of the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation Award of Honour for her outstanding contribution to Prince Edward Island Heritage.
The launch is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Laurie at iis@upei.ca or (902) 894-2881. Books will be on sale for $27.95 in bookstores and online through the UPEI Bookstore from mid-May onward.

With the retirement of Novell network on campus, IT Systems and Services has begun disabling the familiar Novell login screen on computers across campus.
What does this mean for you?
When you first turn on your computer, after you press "Ctrl" + "Alt" + "Delete" the screen will look a bit different.
If you still have the Novell software enabled, your login screen will have a red "N" and you will see the "Computer logon only" link below the password field.
Once ITSS disables the Novell client, your login screen will no longer have a red "N" and "Log on to:" field should now read "ADDS".
You will continue to use the same username and password to login as you always have.
There is no change in functionality to your computer once you have logged in. This only changes the way in which you log-in, and only if your computer still has the legacy Novell client software.
If you have any issues or questions regarding this change, please contact the ITSS Help Desk at 902-566-0465 or helpdesk@upei.ca.
