Congratulations to Peter Wallis, the June winner of Project 50/50. Peter won $255 and the other $255 is going into the Students' Greatest Needs Scholarship.
"50/50 supports student scholarships and what could be better than that? Financial support to a deserving student is the best way I can think of to say that we believe in what we do and care enough to help make it possible by financial donations. I never expected to win anything but every once in a while you get lucky," said Wallis.
Stop by College Advancement and drop off your $10. You can also fill out a pledge form at Human Resources for automatic payroll deductions that will make you eligible for the July draw.
Please note, donations to this project are not eligible for charitable tax receipts due to CRA regulations. For a complete list of rules, please visit this page.
Jason Feyter Places First at National Skills Competition
Second-year plumbing student Jason Feyter placed first at the Skills Canada Competition in Quebec City this past weekend. He is the first MHC trades student to win gold at the national level.
Jason won a place at nationals by placing first at the 19th Annual Provincial Skills Canada Competition May 12 and 13 in Edmonton. Feyter beat out six other competitors from post-secondary institutions across the province for the chance to represent Alberta.
“We are extremely proud of his accomplishments,” said Danny Wilson, coordinator for the Plumbing/Gasfitting programs. “It’s not very often a small institute produces this type of quality.”
The World Skills Competition is held every two years so Jason didn't qualify for this year's event in London. He will be eligible next year to compete again and if he is successful at nationals, he will represent Canada at the Leipzig, Germany competition in 2013.
Feyter is halfway through his second year of plumbing classes with the Department of Trades at Medicine Hat College. He works for DMT Mechanical in Lethbridge and will soon be taking his exam to become a third-year apprentice.
Congratulations Jason!
Postal Strike Info for Students Online
The MHC website has been updated to include information related to the Canada Post rotating strike. We are working hard to ensure incoming students still receive necessary information on a timely basis. Therefore, incoming students will be able to do much more online than ever before. Thanks to everyone who has been working hard on the transition. Feel free to use this information to properly direct students.

YOU Innovate Tournament
Do you teach great students? Are you looking for ways to challenge them to be more creative and innovative? We believe any student - in any program - can be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial. And today's students need to learn how to create value no matter what field they graduate into.
How does it work?
- On Sept. 26 we'll announce an everyday household object
- Then students from across Alberta will use that object to create as much value as they can (in much the same way that Stanford's students did using Post-It Notes in 2007)
- Some students will work on their own and some faculty members will have integrated the tournament into their course (it may take up few lectures and we will provide teaching notes and everything else you'll need)
- A month later, on October 23 the students will submit a 3-minute video sharing their story and making the case for why they've created the most value
- In November we'll announce the winners during Global Entrepreneurship Week (Nov. 14-20)
There are prizes up for grabs for the top students and an award for Alberta's Most Innovative Post-Secondary Teacher. Detailed rules and instructions will be posted when the tournament launches in August 2011.
Faculty Residence Awards
The Office of the Vice-President, Academic, together with Deans’ Council, is pleased to announce the creation of up to seven faculty residencies for the 2011-12 academic year that celebrate and acknowledge teaching innovation and scholarship as hallmarks of our core activity at Medicine Hat College.
Applicants will be required to submit project proposals that lead to the enhancement of teaching and learning supports at the college. A committee of faculty peers representing each academic division will review applications and make recommendations to the Vice-President, Academic based on: 1. Intent of proposal to contribute to scope and mandate of teaching/learning excellence at MHC; 2. Merit of the application (relevance, clarity of presentation); 3. Plan for implementation (timeline and detailed list of all resources required for project completion), indicating achievability of proposed project within a 4-6 month period.
All Medicine Hat College faculty members are eligible to apply. Deadline for all 2011-12 applications is June 30, 2011, at 4 p.m. Proposal may be submitted in hard copy or by e-mail (Word) to: Randee Cheverie, Executive Assistant to the VP Academic, Medicine Hat College.
For more information, please contact the office of Dr. Linda Schwartz at 403-529-4813.
