The Ocean Frontier Institute’s mandate includes knowledge mobilization and as part of that effort, we’re hosting a conference. Our inaugural event — called “Ocean Frontier 2018: North Atlantic Opportunities” — will be held Oct. 9-12, in St. John’s, NL.  The conference will examine the ocean of opportunity that OFI research is helping to discover in the North Atlantic. Learning about the ocean helps us understand our connections to the sea. It also identifies what’s required to responsibly develop our ocean resources while we take steps to protect marine ecosystems, reduce pollution and combat climate change.http://oceanfrontierinstitute.com/oceanfrontier2018

Come out to the discussion on the challenges that women face in academia. This event is for all students and faculty members at UPEI. This town hall is inspired by the hashtag #Immodestwomen (check it out on Twitter) started by Dr. Fern Riddell as a response to the negative backlash she experienced on social media about using ”Dr” in her Twitter handle, and a recent piece in University Affairs, revealing that women are still outnumbered in the higher ranks. At this town hall, notes will be taken and a brief written by the GSA to provide to UPEI leaders. Friday, June 22, 12-1 pm Faculty Lounge, Main Building. Bring your own lunch; cookies, tea, and coffee will be provided. Hosted by the UPEI Graduate Students’ Association.
