Halifax Book Camp
Hey Everyone, check this out. One of the organizers is Kimberly Walsh, a grad of our program. She tells me that it'll be especially interesting for students interested in social media because there'll be lots of talk about connecting with readers and online communities.
This is the blurb:
Welcome to BookCamp Halifax
The first unconference dedicated to books and the publishing industry is coming to Halifax on Saturday, June 5th, 2010 at Saint Mary's University.
BookCamp Halifax is a user-generated unconference designed to bring print publishers, educators, community builders, and the tech community together – for free! BookCamp Halifax is an opportunity to explore the present and future of books and book-like technologies. It’s open to anyone interested in the publishing industry and the potential dynamics of the reader/creator/publisher relationship.
Join us for a day of sharing new ideas, radical notions and engaging conversation! We’ll consider the future of the book as an object; examine its ongoing role as a delivery mechanism for stories, information and entertainment; and examine how publishers can leverage themselves for success in the digital age.
Participants and self-selected guest speakers will choose the agenda for this day-long event, which will be comprised of twenty forty-five minute sessions spread over five time-slots. Participants in these group sessions will discuss and potentially create future book technologies, workflows, and grand schemes.
Lend your passion and expertise to BookCamp Halifax by volunteering to facilitate a session.
(Contact any of the organizers for details.)
Our plan is for this to be a day of talking and doing – of rolling up the proverbial shirt sleeves and tinkering with the publishing mechanism. We’re inviting authors, typographers, designers, printers, technologists, booksellers, literary agents, publishers and geeks of every stripe to come along and consider if and how technology can transform and perhaps improve on the book.
For more information check out our Wiki.

BRP degree stays, but the department name changes
This exciting announcement went out today to all of our current public relations students from our Chair, Amy Thurlow. It's been a long process, so I hope you'll join us in our joy.
Hello everyone,
I'm writing to all public relations students today to share some exciting news. The former department of public relations has been re-named the Department of Communication Studies. This change reflects the evolution of our department which now offers a broad range of programs including the BPR, the masters programs, a new Minor in Communication Studies and a new interdisciplinary BSc (Science Communication).
The department name change does not affect the name of the degree Bachelor of Public Relations. If you are a BPR student, you are still working on a Bachelor of Public Relations and your diploma at graduation will indicate that the degree earned is a Bachelor of Public Relations. The change is that your degree is housed in the Department of Communication Studies, along with some newly developed programs.
This evolution in our department is a result of several years of strategic planning and development. Our goal has been to create a department that offers programs which build on our expertise in public relations but also reflect a broader definition of communication. This is important to students, faculty and employers as we ensure that our learning environment keeps pace with a dynamic and complex global landscape.
For more information about the Department of Communication Studies and our new programs, please visit our department website at http://www.msvu.ca/en/home/programsdepartments/Arts_Science/professionalstudies/publicrelations/default.aspx
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best with your studies,
Amy
