The Office of the President invites you to enjoy a festive study break on Thursday, December 8 from 1 to 2 pm, in front of the W.A. Murphy Student Centre and Main Building. There will be free hot cocoa, coffee, and cookies along with the sounds of UPEI music students -- all to help ease the stress of studying and exams, and to celebrate the holiday season. All students are welcome! In the case of poor weather, the event will move to the W.A. Murphy Student Centre concourse.

This holiday season, the UPEI Environmental Society, in conjunction with Oxfam PEI, is showing a comedic documentary about what happens when we consume too much. "How to Boil a Frog" is not an interpretation of "An Inconvenient Truth," nor is it a documentary about the apocalypse. It is, however, a very informative presentation about our relationship with the Earth. We encourage everyone to come out and we guarantee that the movie will incite laughter and thought! The screening is free (or by donation) and will be followed by a discussion, so stick around afterwards! Oxfam PEI will also be collecting donations for Oxfam Unwrapped, an online, alternative giving program that offers a selection of life-changing gifts. We have gifts that allow you to give something special to someone who has everything, while at the same time giving something meaningful to someone who needs it. Doors open at 6:40pm!
