MESSAGE FROM LEONA

Thank You!

My sincere thanks for your friendship and support during my 3 years in the CAE BEd HRD Coordinator role!

I have enjoyed my time at the Faculty of Ed, but as you know I have energy and passion for many things, and I’m choosing to make another transition.

I will continue to teach in the program and devote more time to my business Choice Point Coaching and Facilitation.

I’m always open for a tea on my veranda so take this as an invitation.

I wish you all the best as your journey continues.

I’m attaching a couple recipes for treats I sometimes brought in to work – enjoy!  (Click here for Bran Berry Muffins and here for Oatmeal Cookies)

Sincerely,
LeonaMy home email is here, and my number is 394-6972.

EDUCATION ALUMNI RECEPTION AND BASIL’S RETIREMENT CELEBRATION – 25-JULY-2014

Murphy Student Centre.  We are hoping that many former students and colleagues will join us in reminiscing and celebrating Basil and the tremendous life-changing effects he has had on all of his students.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come wish Basil well.  If you planning on joining us for this event, please RSVP to Nicole.  If you would like to say a few words during the event, please also let Nicole know.

DIGITAL ECONOMY RESEARCH TEAM SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDES FIRST PHASE OF RESEARCH PROJECT

The DERT team is delighted to announce that the first phase of their research project has come to a conclusion…with great success! First, students from two Island high schools – Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside and Colonel Gray in Charlottetown – successfully completed their projects with the help of a variety of industry professionals acting as cultural mentors. These projects, which ranged from video production, to animation, to murals, to live drama, were showcased at event nights in both cities. Most recently, adult education students taking English 621 at Holland College campuses across the province also had the opportunity to work with a cultural expert to complete multimedia projects. This past month, these students presented their portfolios of themed websites, original blog content, video production and more.

Congratulations to all of our participating students and graduates!

To find out more about the research project, please visit their website.

BOOK ORDERS

HURRAHS!

The winners of the 2014 Atlantic Book Awards were announced recently and we send a big Hurrah out to Jesse Francis, the son of our own Carolyn Francis, as recipient of two of these awards.  Ni’n na L’nu: The Mi’kmaq of Prince Edward Island by Jesse Francis and A.J.B. Johnston (Acorn Press) won both the Atlantic Publishers Marketing Association’s Best Atlantic-Published Book Award and the PEI Book Award – Non Fiction.

And a big shout out to the folks who got the heat going again in Memorial Hall.  After 2.5 days of heat deprivation, resorting to working in blankets and drinking copious amounts of hot caffeinated beverages (even more than usual!), the office residents of Memorial salute you (probably with another hot caffeinated beverage, but this time without mittens).

BLACK MIDNIGHT CAKE AND SNOW PEAK FROSTING

The arrival of Nicole Higginbotham in our main office was made all the more sweet by a wonderfully delicious cake baked by Carolyn Francis.  Carolyn’s cake, baked from a recipe given to her by a grade 5 student (Earl) in the early 70’s, did not disappoint!  Due to high demand, she shares her never-fail recipe here:

EARL’S SUPER DELICIOUS BLACK MIDNIGHT CAKE

• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 1 tsp salt

Mix these together in bowl.

Add these ingredients in order listed

• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup black coffee

Batter is very thin!!

Bake in layer pans at 350 degrees for 35 minutes

SNOW PEAK FROSTING

• 1 1/4 cup light corn syrup (or maple syrup or dark corn syrup)
• 2 egg whites
• Pinch salt
• 1 tsp vanilla

Heat syrup to boiling (watch it as it boils over quickly)

Beat egg whites at high speed, until soft peaks are formed when the beater is lifted

Add pinch of salt

Slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites while continuing to beat until the frosting is fully and forms peaks.

Fold in vanilla.

This will frost the tops and sides of a double layer cake. ( 8 or 9 inch)

(Special thanks to Carolyn, and Earl, for sharing this yumminess!)
