I just started reading this on the recommendation of a midwife friend. She went to a lecture from the author recently and I thought it sounded like a great book so I picked it up on amazon pretty cheap. $11 and free shipping. In these early days with a new baby and 2 older children to manage, her messages are a wonderful reaffirmation. Just thought Id share with you all.

Second term
Facing a deeply unpopular opposition, however, Blair was easily reelected in May 2001 to a 167-seat majority in the House of Commons—the largest-ever second-term majority in British electoral history, though voter turnout was the lowest since 1918. His second term was dominated by international affairs. In the late 1990s he had won praise by mounting peacekeeping operations in the Serbian province of Kosovo and in Sierra Leone. After the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, Britain played a key role in forming an international coalition that succeeded in driving the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, which had been allowed to become a safe haven for Islamic militants such as Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the attacks. Blair enjoyed a good relationship with U.S. Pres. George W. Bush and allied the United Kingdom with the United States in a global "war against terrorism." In early 2003, following passage by the United Nations Security Council of a resolution mandating the return of weapons inspectors to Iraq, Blair and Bush tried without success to persuade other Security Council members that continued weapons inspections would not succeed in uncovering any weapons of mass destruction held by the Iraqi government of Ṣaddām Ḥussein.
Despite deep divisions within the Labour Party—several ministers resigned and 139 Labour members of Parliament voted in favour of a motion opposing the government's policy—and strong public opposition to a war with Iraq, Blair, with Bush, led a coalition of military forces in an attack on Iraq in March 2003. Blair's enthusiastic support for the action damaged his reputation as a global statesman, and he fell out with key European allies. When military inspectors failed to uncover weapons of mass destruction, the Blair government was accused of distorting ("sexing up") intelligence on which it had based its claim that Iraq was an imminent threat. In October 2004 Blair announced that he would seek a third term as prime minister but would not stand for a fourth term.
Third term
Despite lingering public dissatisfaction with Blair's policy in Iraq, Blair led the Labour Party to its third successive general election victory in May 2005, albeit with a sharply reduced majority. Simmering revolt in the Labour Party over both Iraq and Blair's rejection of core Labour policies led him to promise that he would resign before the next election. Blair's popularity, with both the general public and the Labour members of Parliament, generally declined after the election. Many people in Britain felt that the country was in the grip of a serious malaise. Social cohesion seemed to be collapsing in much of urban Britain, as shown by a steep rise in violent crime and open drug dealing. Public officials in the police, civil service, and education sectors seemed to be unable to grapple effectively with the social crisis as they struggled to meet bureaucratic targets. After Islamic extremists exploded bombs in London on July 7, 2005, killing 54 people, Blair began to emphasize the need for a common public culture, and former multicultural policies that encouraged ethnic groups to separate into different communities were repudiated.
Blair's government suffered its first defeat in the House of Commons in November 2005, when 49 Labour members of Parliament joined the opposition in voting against antiterrorist laws that would have extended the length of time suspects could be held without charge. Subsequently, many Labour members of Parliament called for Blair to announce a date for his departure as prime minister well before the next general election; following a series of resignations by junior ministers, Blair declared in September 2006 that he would stand down as prime minister within a year. On May 10, 2007—one week after Labour was defeated by the Scottish National Party in elections to the Scottish Parliament and suffered major defeats in English local elections as well and two days after devolved power was returned from London to a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland—Blair announced that he would officially tender his resignation as prime minister on June 27, 2007. Blair subsequently was succeeded as leader of the Labour Party and as prime minister by his long-serving chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown.

Blackout 2014 Memorial copes with unexpected power outage By Dave Sorensen Exceptionally cold temperatures and a province-wide power outage caused headaches for Memorial University as the winter semester was set to kick off. The university shut all campuses for three days Jan. 6-9, just as thousands of students, faculty members and staff were preparing for the semester's start. When Memorial did reopen Jan. 9, frozen and burst water pipes left many offices and some classrooms uninhabitable. The bill to repair damage is expected to run into the hundreds of thousands. "The winter semester of 2014 will be remembered for its exceptional winds, snow, cold and related power outages," said President Gary Kachanoski. "But we are mostly back, safe and sound, and I want to personally thank the entire Memorial University community for your patience and understanding through this difficult time." The president also thanked staff and faculty who worked through the situation to help manage the various problems and issues that arose, as well as governfor their co-operation and efforts to help the university manage through the situation. When the outage started, the primary focus was students returning to and living in residence, at both Grenfell Campus and in St. John's.

VISIT US ONLINE www.mun.ca/gazette Be careful out there Over the holidays, rather unsettling happened. It was the sort of thing that you never think is going to happen to you. The kind of thing that happens to other people. More vulnerable people. People who are less careful. I went to the washroom with a friend and left my beer on the table with a friend who was dancing nearby. I only took a few swallows after I came back, but that was enough. The rest of my evening was more or less a blank — which is strange, given the minimal amount I'd had to drink. I was with some good friends who realized that something was wrong pretty quickly. According to one friend who spoke to a police officer downtown, I displayed all of the symptoms of having consumed a date-rape drug. The officer recommended that, if they thought I had had more than a third of the beverage, my friends should take me to the emergency room. Fortunately, since I'd only had a few sips, there wasn't any need to go to the hospital. Instead they took me home, forced me to drink water, and recounted the details to me the next morning. But I got lucky. Really lucky. Despite the fact that date-rape drugs have been in the news in St. John's since at least 2008, there's something about this city that makes it seem like it's less likely to happen here than in other, larger urban centers. I've lived in places in Canada where I would have never even considered letting my drink leave my hand. Victoria, Vancouver, Whitehorse: all of these places have taught me to be constantly aware of my surroundings and my safety when I go out. Maybe it's because St. John's feels more like a small town than a city, or maybe it's because you can't order a poutine here without running Shannon Page is a fourth-year double major in English and classics. She can be reached at email@example.com. I was downtown in a bar having some drinks with friends when something STUDENTVIEW Shannon Page into someone you know. Either way, there's something about this city that has lulled me into a sense of security and convinced me that nothing bad can happen here. I let my guard down. I'm not meaning to imply that St. John's is the most dangerous place out there, or that everyone who goes partying downtown on a Friday or Saturday night is going to have a similar experience. Just that, especially for someone who has lived in a lot of cities more overtly threatening, St. John's can seem a lot more utopian than it is. This city is a rapidly growing urban center, with rapidly growing urban crime and other issues that naturally follow such development. As the semester starts up again, many students (and non-students) will certainly find themselves in situations where a little bit of extra caution couldn't hurt. Be careful out there. Gazette | Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014 3 www.mun.ca/gazette Law school feasibility report completed A report on the feasibility of a law school at Memorial University has been completed and delivered to President Gary Kachanoski. "I'd like to thank the members of the task force, chaired by Dr. Lynne Phillips, dean of the Faculty of Arts, for their efforts in undertaking this review," said Dr. Kachanoski. The committee has unanimously recommended that Memorial University consider establishing a law school. Once external and internal consultation on the report is completed, the university administration will decide on next steps. The committee was asked to restrict their review to consideration of a faculty of law as a professional school, as opposed to a legal studies degree program or department of law. The committee was also asked to examine the demographics of existing Canadian law schools, the current and future needs for more lawyers, and benefits to Memorial, among other goals. Over the past six months, the committee met with numerous stakeholders, including members of the judiciary and the legal profession, and held public consultations across the province, including at the St. John's campus, Grenfell Campus and the Labrador Institute. "Chairing this committee has been an exciting and educational experience for me," said Dr. Phillips. "On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank all those who took the time to meet with us, send emails and answer the online questionnaire over the past several months. I would also like to thank the members of the committee for their dedication, insight and hard work on the report." The committee consisted of Dr. Lynne Phillips, dean, Faculty of Arts; Heather M. Clarke, PhD candidate, Faculty of Business Administration (withdrew July 2013); Morgan Cooper, associate vice-president (academic) faculty affairs; Alphonse E. Faour, justice, Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, trial division; Peter McKinnon, president emeritus and former dean of law, University of Saskatchewan; Bert Riggs, head of archives and special collections, Queen Elizabeth II Library; Janet Harron, communications co-ordinator, Faculty of Arts; and Karen Kennedy, internal consultant, Office of the Provost. There have been two previous considerations by the university of establishing a law school. The Harris Report, 1976, concluded that there was no demonstrated need for a law school at Memorial, and the Bruce Report, 1987, which endorsed a law school in principle, but due to fiscal constraints, did not recommend action at that time. The university welcomes comments from members of the public regarding the possibilities proposed by the report. The report is available at www.mun.ca/ president/initiatives/taskforce.php. Email comments to firstname.lastname@example.com until Jan. 31. Continued from arctic story on page 1 in C$3 million in funding from Lloyd's Register Foundation to examine Arctic shipping and operation risks. Memorial engineering professors Drs. Brian Veitch and Faisal Khan are two of the researchers in the Center of Excellence. They are thrilled with their recent win and take great pride in the fact that international wins like this validate Memorial's leadership in Arctic and ocean engineering. "We are so excited to have won," said Dr. Veitch, professor of ocean and naval architectural engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Husky Energy Chair in Oil and Gas Research. "Not only does it show Memorial's credibility as being internationally competitive in Arctic and ocean engineering, but it enables us to conduct what we feel is very important research and it also provides our student researchers with the unique opportunity to spend time at the partnering universities which will enable them to establish their professional network." Dr. Khan believes that providing students with these kinds of unique opportunities is key to attracting the brightest students. "The Arctic is a strategic area for Memorial University and as the area is being utilized more, it is also becoming more vulnerable," said Dr. Khan, chair of processing engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Vale Research Chair in Process Risk and Safety Engineering. "We are in a position to bring talented PhD students in to conduct leading-edge research to make Arctic shipping safer. This international and competitive win benefits Memorial, but more importantly, its students." Drs. Veitch and Khan will hire at least four PhD students to work on this project. Interested candidates should send their resumé to firstname.lastname@example.com or to email@example.com . Dr. Faisal Khan Dr. Brian Veitch NOTABLE Dr. TA Loeffler, a professor in the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, has been named a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The Royal Canadian Geographical Society's College of Fellows is comprised of nearly 600 individuals who act as the voting body of the society and elect its officers and governors. Fellows are also expected to contribute to the activities of the society or to its objectives and programs. They are elected for life but must maintain a membership. Gazette | Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014 4 www.mun.ca/gazette Frameworks at work: Memorial's frameworks in action PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT The three overarching frameworks guiding Memorial's future direction — the Research Strategy Framework, the Teaching and Learning Framework and the Public Engagement Framework — are the result of several years of consultations with the university community and the people and organizations of Newfoundland and Labrador. This regular feature will help showcase the frameworks in action by sharing projects and highlighting the successes that are bringing them to life. Clinical compassion Bringing empathy and community engagement to HIV/AIDS research By Rebecca Cohoe Since the emergence and lack of of AIDS as a have submitted PHOTO significant health challenge in the 1980s, prejudice, misunderstanding daunting diagnosis. As a Memorial School of Pharmacy student during the 1990s, the unfairness of the illness stuck with Dr. Deborah Kelly, now an associate professor in the school. "The thing that really got me was the stigma. People were losing jobs and being ostracized and gossiped about when what they really needed was compassion and caring." It was a realization that would change her life and that continues to define her work. Dr. Kelly is jointly appointed between the School of Pharmacy and Eastern Health as the clinical pharmacist for the provincial HIV program, a role that has brought her into close and regular contact with the AIDS Committee of Newfoundland and Labrador (ACNL). From advisory roles on boards to personal volunteerism with the AIDS Walk for Life, Dr. Kelly's relationship with the committee grew. In 2009 a joint committee was created between Eastern Health and ACNL with a mandate to educate patients, caregivers and the public about issues related to living with HIV/AIDS. The connections between Dr. Kelly and ACNL also extend into her current research projects. In partnership with colleagues, including Zach Marshall, a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Medicine, and Drs. Greg Harris and Jackie Hesson from the Faculty of Education, Dr. Kelly and ACNL are collaborating on three significant areas of work: a study into rapid testing for HIV, a project that specifically investigates treatment adherence in female patients and an evaluation of the potential of non-physician (nurse practitioners and pharmacists, for example) clinics for chronic HIV management. "We've also partnered on knowledge translation activities including Café Scientifiques, conferences and speaking and learning opportunities for people living with HIV/AIDS," said Dr. Kelly. Public engagement is also an essential element of Dr. Kelly's teaching practice. Her students participate in her clinical practice at the HIV clinic, providing direct patient care and spending time at the Safe Works Access Program, an outreach program run by ACNL. "First-hand opportunities provide chances to put knowledge and skills into practise," she said. "I believe these experiences are critical to developing the high-calibre graduates that the School of Pharmacy is known for." Dr. Kelly's sentiments about the benefits of collaboration between Memorial and the public are echoed by Gerard Yetman, executive director, ACNL. "Partnerships professionals community of working like ours provide future to work gaining health with and with health with opportunities programs, HIV-positive matter to the people who need help, says Dr. Kelly. She also believes that her close connections with public organizations increase the likelihood that the results of her work will make the transition from studies to practice. "We sometimes get so focused on publications, but when it comes to clinical and applied research, it's important that we go beyond the academic journals to make sure that findings are reaching the people with the ability to implement them." For successful public engagement, Dr. Kelly says it has to be a "true" partnership and that it requires meaningful engagement, not just on paper. She also says it helps to be passionate about the cause. Mr. Yetman agrees. "The secret to a positive working relationship between a public organization and a university is respect —respect for the expertise both entities offer — and understanding that working together will benefit both parties and the community in general." Dr. Kelly's next major project is co-chairing, in partnership with Dr. Michael Grant, the Canadian Association for HIV Research national conference this May in St. John's.

In St. John's a temporary warming station was established in the Human Kinetics Building, but it wasn't used. All deadlines (such as tuition fees payment, course drop/add, etc.) have been extended by the three business days that were lost. There will be some adjustments to the semester schedule, but the scheduled mid-term break and end-of-semester study break will remain intact. A broken sprinkler pipe in the Arts and Administration building annex on the St. John's campus damaged upwards of 40 rooms and offices. Repairs were undertaken almost immediately and the majority of occupants are expected back in their rooms by early next week. Significant damage also occurred at the Marine Institute's Ridge Road campus. Approximately 50 classrooms and offices were affected by water damage due to broken sprinkler pipes. Cleanup and repairs were started immediately and classes were able to resume when the campus reopened on Jan. 9. Other buildings suffering damage included the Bruneau Innovation Centre, the Battery building, the Aquarena, Feild Hall and the QE II Library. Fortunately, Grenfell Campus incurred no physical damage during this period and power restoration took place without incident. In the event that further teaching time is lost, additional adjustments to the semester may be required. For new dates on the academic calendar, see www.mun.ca/regoff/registration/undergrad3/relevant_ dates.php . Winter semester date changes To accommodate the loss of three instructional days at the start of winter semester (Jan. 6-8 inclusive), the following changes to the winter semester were instituted: • On Thursday, Feb. 20, lectures will follow the Tuesday schedule • On Friday, Feb. 21, lectures will follow the Monday schedule • On Wednesday, Feb. 19 (the last day of midterm break), evening classes will go ahead, following the Wednesday schedule.

Death on Two Fronts: National Tragedies and the Fate of Democracy in Newfoundland, 1914-34 Sean Cadigan Death on Two Fronts, part of The History of Canada series, examines the tragic transformation of Newfoundland's political culture between 1914 and 1934. For many people throughout Canada and the rest of the world, 1914 was important because it marked the beginning of the First World War. While the year became significant for the same reason in Newfoundland, it was not originally so. Newfoundland's economy depended on the sea, and the seal hunt was vital. During the spring of 1914, 77 men of the S.S. Newfoundland died and many more were injured when they became lost on the ice fields, locally known as the front, off the northeast coast. What became known as the Newfoundland sealing disaster galvanized popular discontent against mercantile profiteering and recklessness on the seal hunt, and influenced Newfoundland politics. The Great War muted this discontent and fostered a nationalist political culture founded on notions of honour, sacrifice, and patriotism, particularly after the mass deaths in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment at Beaumont Hamel. This nationalism was easily shaken, however, in the post-war economic crisis that plagued Newfoundland, frustrating more progressive attempts to deal with economic and social problems, and led to the collapse of responsible government in 1934. Although sealers had died in 1914 and soldiers fell in the years of the Great War, it was liberal democracy in Newfoundland that was the final casualty in the bitter struggles over the meaning of these events. Dr. Sean Cadigan is a professor in the Department of History at Memorial. BOOKS AT Nursing Leadership and Management Dr. Alice Gaudine, Dr. Marianne Lamb Nursing Leadership and Management: Organizations for Working is due in in Canadian Healthcare publication winter 2014.

Essentials of Offshore Structures: Framed and Gravity Platforms Dr. D. V. Reddy and Dr. A.S.J. Swamidas Essentials of Offshore Structures examines the engineering design and analysis of offshore drilling platforms for exploration and production. The book provides both theory and application of principles related to structural, fluid and geotechnical mechanics of offshore structures. It makes available a multitude of "solved problems" and "sample problems to solve" which gives readers and students a strong understanding of steel-framed and base-supported concrete gravity offshore structures. The book highlights the engineering applications for offshore structural design, research and development. Through worked examples and designs, it is also useful to engineers and scientists in the offshore industry. Key features of the book include fundamental theory, solutions, applications and useful visual illustrations of offshore structures; samples of current structures along with typical older designs; illustrations of holistic behavior of offshore structure components; analytical methods in force modelling for wind, wave, current, ice and seismic forces; seabed soil characteristics, materials, corrosion, risk analysis, design codes; and sample problems. Dr. Swamidas is an honorary research professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science; MEMORIAL Newfoundland Drugstores: A History John K. Crellin Although primarily associated with filling doctors' prescriptions and selling medicines and other items for self-care, historically drugstores have also been operated as general stores, selling an intriguing range of toiletries, perfumery, confectionery, seeds for the garden and household items. For many years, the shopping experiences of customers owed a good deal to the distinctive drugstore aura created by a store's elegant wooden fixtures, rows of attractive glass containers and a characteristic aroma arising from drugs and the preparations compounded on the premises. Newfoundland Drugstores by Dr. John K. Crellin, Faculty of Medicine, is a fascinating account of the important and varied roles that drugstores played in Newfoundland society. Dr. Crellin holds British qualifications in medicine, pharmacy and the history of science. His career spans three countries, at the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine in the U.K., at Southern Illinois and Duke Universities in the U.S., and at Memorial University, where he was the John Clinch Professor of Medical History until his official retirement in 2002. He continues to teach complementary and alternative medicine at the Faculty of Medicine. .................................................................. Platform or Personality: The Role of Party Leaders in Elections Amanda Bittner In this book by Amanda Bittner, associate professor in the Department of Political Science, incorporates data from 35 election studies across seven countries with varying institutional environments, and takes both a broad and in depth look at the role of leaders. A few noteworthy conclusions emerge. First, voters evaluate leaders' traits in terms of two main dimensions, character and competence. Second, voters perceive leaders within the framework of a partisan stereotype in which the party label of the leader imbues meaning; more specifically, leaders of Conservative parties are seen to be more competent while Left leaders are seen to have more character. Third, and most importantly, leaders matter: they affect voters' decisions and have a discernible effect on the distribution of votes in an election. Fourth, there are consistent differences in the perception of party leaders according to voters' level of political sophistication. While all voters evaluate party leaders and consider leaders in their vote calculus, the more sophisticated do so the most. This book argues that personality plays an important role in elections, and that in a healthy democracy, so it should. Dr. Reddy is a previous member of the faculty. .................................................................. Rural Transformation and Newfoundland and Labrador Diaspora: Grandparents, Grandparenting, Community and School Relations Dr. Amarjit Singh and Mike Devine, editors This book offers a platform not only to look in on the lives of vital grandparents but paints, in broad strokes, a mural of coming, changing, as well as challenging cultural and social settings. In what the editors call "small nuanced studies", we find telling narratives of generational connections in the face of changing and challenging odds. This book does a great service to the concept of diaspora, as well as to the changing nature of that concept and elevates the status of grandparents by positioning them as vital members of a complex and challenging society where their skills, gifts, and ...................................... sheer presence are most formative. As is strongly advocated in this book, it is essential that educators, curriculum developers and teachers appreciate the place of grandparents in their students' lives.

But he wanted to determine the extent to which a long duration of MIF affects human performance and to define a timeline for it.

Participants performed several tests so researchers could look at reaction time, including visuo-motor accuracytracking, which Mr. Pearcey explains means having someone produce a task that matches what they see on a screen. "In this case, we were measuring their ability to pull on a strap, which produced a line representing the amount of force applied, and match it to a line that represented various amounts of force. "An increased understanding of how people learn and fatigue in motion environments would be valuable information when creating work and training schedules for employees in this industry in terms of productivity and safety. It may also help us create simulation techniques to combat motion-induced fatigue and decrease learning times when the workers are immersed in motion environment." Mr. Pearcey has completed the data analysis part of his thesis research, The Effects of Prolonged Motion on Vigilance Task Performance, and is in the process of analyzing the results. The scholarship means that the master's student can concentrate his time on producing quality results and will help him with travel expenses to a conference in order to present some of his work. who work at sea, there's physical and mental work that happens when they're on shift.

"A regular shift work schedule for seafarers in the offshore industry typically consists of a six hours on, six hours off rotation," noted Mr. Pearcey. "Unfortunately, research investigating the effects of MIF on human performance is limited."

It's all she can do to stop from crying. "I really love it," said the fourth-year student at Memorial's School of Nursing. "But it brings back a lot of memories and makes me miss my family." Luckily, Ms. Kozhani doesn't hear much Albanian folk music on campus. And although she thinks about family Memorial University family to make her feel at home. If you meet her on campus — and it's fairly likely since she's a busy volunteer — you likely wouldn't guess that her journey to Memorial involved late night escapes from gunfire and burning villages in Kosovo and via refugee camps in Macedonia. In the 1990s, Ms. Kozhani and her family lived outside Prishtina, Kosovo. At the time, war had consumed every country in the Balkans. Horrific accounts of ethnic cleansing began to surface in the West. "Every hour you would always hear gunshots — it was quite scary," said Ms. Kozhani, who was a young girl at the time. "We always slept with our clothes and shoes on in case we had to go in the middle of the night. "Then one day my father said, 'This is enough.' The apartment we were living in was broken into, and everything stolen. When we left, every house (around us) was on fire. Police were pointing guns at my family." The Kozhanis boarded a train to Macedonia, made their way to a large refugee camp and eventually were sent to Canada, a country they knew nothing about. "It was like a dream come true," remembers Ms. Kozhani about her arrival. "We got off the plane in Halifax and all these people were waiting for us. We couldn't believe it was happening." Ms. Kozhani's family still lives in Halifax, and she still speaks fluent Albanian. And though she has no connection to Newfoundland and Labrador, when it came time for her to choose a postsecondary school, she opted for Memorial University. It was her school guidance counsellor, a Memorial graduate, who encouraged her to apply. She kept a low profile for the first couple of years. By the time Ms. Kozhani was in her third year, she jumped into campus life. She became a resident assistant at Burton's Pond apartments, a mentor with International Student Advising and a Memorial ambassador, just to name a few of her many roles. "A tragic event has led to something really amazing. I would be a completely different person if I hadn't come to Canada, and to Memorial. I wouldn't be so open-minded, so involved. I really want to make a difference." chris hammond PHOTO in Halifax and Kosovo, she also has her Nursing student Elbonita Kozhani has a strong Albanian heritage and connection with her homeland. MOU signed with top university in Poland By Susan White-MacPherson this agreement. Business students at KUL open many opportunities for faculty and staff in other disciplines as well. "Both Lublin and KUL are recognized as rich centres for the humanities, so this agreement will facilitate opportunities for students and faculty members from many departments, especially in the Faculty of Arts, to avail themselves of KUL's unique expertise and programs, many of which are in English." Memorial has signed a memo- are bright and enthusiastic and we look forward to welcoming them to Memorial University." Dr. Durrant says the agreement will randum of understanding (MOU) with a top university in Poland that will see the development of a double degree at the Faculty of Business Administration. Dr. Wilfred Zerbe, dean of Memorial's business faculty, signed the agreement with Rev. Prof. Dr. Hab. Antoni Debinski, rector of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), on Dec. 9 in Lublin, Poland. Dr. Zerbe was joined in Poland by Dr. Stuart Durrant, Department of German and Russian, Faculty of Arts. The agreement particularly emphasizes opportunities between the Faculty of Business Administration at Memorial and the Institute of Economics and Management at KUL, including the creation of a double degree program that would allow students to begin their studies at KUL and complete them at Memorial, earning a degree from each university. "The Faculty of Business Administration has agreements of this type with several universities in Asia and Europe and it's proven to be a very effective draw for top quality students, so we look forward to undertaking a similar arrangement with students from KUL," said Dr. Zerbe. "I look forward to pursuing the growth opportunities that should arise out of @ ACCESS. ENGAGEMENT. LEARNING.
