My
      name
      is
      Clare
      Henderson.
      I
      am
      from
      a
      town
      in
     
     
      Labrador
      called
      Happy
      Valley-Goose
      Bay.
      I'm
     
     
      going
      into
      my
      fourth
      year
      here
      at
      UPEI
      and
      it's
     
     
      really
      kind
      of
      sad
      how
      much
      I
      love
      it
      here.
      I've
     
     
      been
      working
      with
      the
      Student
      Union
      for
      three
     
     
      years
      and
      I
      really
      think
      that
      it
      is
      a
      great
      way
      to
      get
     
     
      involved
      on
      campus.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It’s
      amazing
      how
      quickly
      the
      school
      year
      creeps
      up
      ,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      on
      you.
      I’ve
      been
      working
      for
      the
      summer
      at
      the
     
     
      SU
      and
      it
      only
      feels
      like
      yesterday
      I
      was
      writing
     
     
      finals.
      That
      being
      said,
      this
      was
      an
      extremely
      pro-
     
     
      ductive
      summer
      and
      the
      year
      seems
      to
      be
      follow-
     
     
      ing
      suit.
      This
      summer
      the
      SU
      negotiated
      with
      the
     
     
      University
      and
      CARI
      for
      student
      access
      and
      redid
     
     
      our
      website.
      And
      these
      are
      only
      two
      of
      the
      big
     
     
      things
      that
      have
      happened,
      although
      we
      are
      fol-
     
     
      lowing
      a
      number
      of
      issues
      and
      I
      now
      have
      new
     
     
      appreciation
      for
      the
      words
      "committee"
      and
      "meet-
     
     
      ing.”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      the
      year
      is
      only
      beginning.
      As
      exciting
      as
      I
     
     
      think
      meetings
      and
      committees
      are,
      I
      hope
      that
      you
     
     
      are
      looking
      forward
      to
      the
      events
      and
      services
      that
     
     
      you
      can
      take
      advantage
      of
      as
      a
      member
      of
      the
     
     
      UPEI
      Student
      Union.
      Come
      out
      to
      our
      events,
      join
     
     
      a
      society,
      talk
      to
      your
      councillors.
      In
      fact,
      they
      all
     
     
      have
      blogs
      on
      the
      new
      website
      so
      you
      can
      find
      it
     
     
      even
      easier
      to
      get
      in
      touch
      with
      them.
      I’m
      in
      the
     
     
      office
      25
      hours
      a
      week,
      but
      unofficially
      I
      nearly
     
     
      live
      here,
      so
      stop
      by
      some
      time
      to
      chat.
      And
     
     
      remember,
      if
      you
      have
      any
      concerns,
      big
      or
      small,
     
     
      come
      talk
      to
      me-it’s
      what
      I’m
      here
      for.
      So
      good
     
     
      luck
      in
      all
      your
      classes
      (University
      is
      about
      learn-
     
     
      ing
      after
      all)
      but
      don’t
      forget
      to
      have
      a
      good
      time.

      Good
      day
      folks
      what’s
      happening!
      My
      name
      is
     
     
      Mark
      O’Halloran,
      I
      am
      a
      third
      year
      Business

      for
      the
     
     
      2004/2005
      academic
      year.
      During
      September
      and
     
     
      part
      of
      October,
      I
      was
      around
      handing
      out
      some
      of
     
     
      the
      new
      Student
      Survival
      Guides.

      up.
      Also,
      take

      new
      and

      if
      you
      would
      like
      to
      see
     
    
   
   
    
     
      what
      else
      is
      coming
      up
      throughout
      the
      year.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      the
      up-coming
      months,
      I
      will
      be
      working
      on
      a
     
     
      new
      International
      Student
      Buddy
      Program,
      pro-

      weeks,
     
     
      Clare
      and
      I,
      hope
      to
      arrange

      meeting
      with
      the
     
     
      Honorable
      Mildred
      Dover,
      to
      discuss
      this
      serious
     
     
      issue.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      So,
      good
      luck
      everybody
      with
      your
      midterms
      or
     
     
      papers

      if
      you
      ever
      get
