Dear Part-time and Mature Full-time Students,

This letter represents a special invitation to you from MAPUS to take time out to attend a one-day Management Workshop planned with you in mind. We’ve designed this Workshop packed with useful information and tips to help you make the best of your experience at U.P.E.I.!

How do we know we can help? Well, MAPUS is an organization made up of older students like you who have taken the big plunge and decided, for any number of reasons, to come to university. We know all about it!

What kind of topics will be covered? Those that have been most helpful in the past. "How to study"...because you've probably forgotten how (or never really learned) and we know you can do it! “How to write essays and papers"...because writing is a question of learning some skills and following some rules. "How to manage your time"...because an hour saved is an hour gained. “How to get what you want"...because you probably feel a little (a lot?) threatened in the university environment. "How to manage stress"...because we know what with everything else going on in your life it takes a little doing! And we're still working at getting the very best for you. We might even throw in a little fun!

The Workshop will take place on a Saturday, since we hope that the timing will conflict as littie as possible with your courses and studies. We've selected January 30th in the hope that while you've settled into your new courses you will not yet have entered mid-term madness. The Workshop will begin at 9:00 but we would like to meet and greet you with a cup of coffee around 8:30am. It will end at 5:00pm or thereabouts. A light lunch will be provided with cost included in your registration fee.

The days events will take place at "your home away from home on Campus" the MAPUS Lounge. In case you don’t know where that is, the Lounge is located in Bernardine Hall and the entrance is just opposite the University Cafeteria. You might want to check it out beforehand. (Believe it or not some mature students don’t even know it exists. What a pity! We've got a fridge, a stove, a coffee pot with coffee at $0.25, a micro-wave, lockers, and most important, a lot of mature students who hang out!)

The bad news is that we will be limiting registration to thirty people and will cancel if we have not received twelve registrations by January 21st. All you have to do to register is to drop over to the MAPUS Lounge and fill out a

registration form. Cost of the workshop is $15.00 and will include lunch. If you have any questions regarding the workshop (or any others) just call 566-0448.

If you know other students who would like to take advantage of this special Workshop you are invited to act as our bearer of good tidings. We welcome the promotional support!

Drop over to register as soon as possible!

Your MAPUS Executive Committee
