Dear members of the UPEI community,
I write to you to ask your help. Our AVC students will host the 2013
Student Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Symposium.
This symposium is held each year at one of the five veterinary
schools in Canada. The event is taking place here from January 10-12, with
students arriving in PEI as early as January 9 and departing by January 13.
This is a wonderful event filled with lectures, labs, tours, and some
social events. The event is being run on a 鈥渟tudent budget,鈥 and every
measure is being taken to lower the costs. This is where we need your help.
We are asking that you consider being a host to one or more of these
students. A host needs only to provide a place to sleep, bathroom
facilities (no meals are needed), and if possible, transportation to campus
in the mornings. Included is a link to 鈥渟ign up鈥 to be a host. This is a
great opportunity for us to showcase our beautiful campus and our Island,
to show our support for our veterinary students, and at the same time do
something special and memorable for a future member of the veterinary
profession. Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request. Your
generosity is greatly appreciated.

As part of the UPEI Music Department Recital Series, the Toronto-based jazz
trio 鈥淢yriad鈥 will perform at Dr. Steel Recital Hall on Tuesday, January
22 at 7:30 pm.
Myriad was an "accident." Chris Donnelly (piano), Daniel Fortin (bass) and
Ernesto Cervini (drums) had never played together until a few substitutions
and a twist of fate put them on stage together for the first time in late
2010. Since then, the trio has been making music in every jazz club in the
greater Toronto area.
The band is a true collective. Each member acts simultaneously as a leader
and a sideman. They play mostly original music that features different
aspects of jazz improvisation, ensemble playing and contemporary
composition. Myriad is modern jazz, meets classical, meets pop, meets
Oscar Peterson.
Chris Donnelly represents a new generation of jazz pianists, composers, and
improvisers dedicated to creating programs that are engaging, entertaining,
and educating. He is continually praised for his virtuosic performances,
musicality, versatility and ability to captivate audiences.
Daniel Fortin was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario. He graduated
from the University of Toronto鈥檚 Jazz Performance Program in 2007. Since
moving to Toronto, Dan has been an active member of the city鈥檚 music scene,
playing with the likes of Mike Ruby, David Occhipinti, Dave Restivo, Barry
Romberg, Harley Card, Chris Donnelly, and many others.
Drummer Ernesto Cervini is making a name for himself as a
consummate bandleader and in-demand sideman, repeatedly praised for
his deeply musical, infectiously energetic talents. Time Out New
York encapsulated Cervini as 鈥渁 buoyant drummer as well as a sharp
composer and bandleader,鈥 while the jazz bible, Downbeat, described his
fluid style as one that 鈥渆xemplifies 'float like a butterfly, sting like
a bee鈥.鈥
Myriad will be touring Canada to celebrate the release of their debut album
with Alma Records.
A one-semester pass ($84 for adults/ $56 for students/seniors) is available
and provides access to seven recitals this winter at a 20% discount.
Dr. Steel Recital Hall, UPEI 7:30 pm
Tickets are $15/$10 (students/seniors)
