Announcement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The President and Governors of the University of West Terrier are pleased to announce that Hermione Hippo will deliver the 2016 UWT Commencement Address.

Hermione Hippo’s nursing career began at a zoological garden south of The Park. Following that, Hermione worked alongside Dr. Bourru at his office until 2004, when she accepted the position of head nurse at the Park Hospital for the Afflicted and Infirm, where she continues to work and to train students of nursing. In March of 2015, she was invited to join the faculty at the University of West Terrier as Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine.

Among Hermione’s credits are the containment of Small Ball Fever in 2007 and of Tulip-Related Illness in 2013. Over the past few years, Hermione has become a passionate advocate of proper nutrition and has spoken at many conferences on the subject of the rôle of nutrition in the maintenance of emotional and mental well-being.

Anonymous donation to fund third study into premature awakening from hibernation

by

The President and Governors of the University of West Terrier are pleased to announce that a third study into the causes of premature awakening from hibernation has been made possible through a donation made anonymously to the University through the Foundation for the Study of Premature Awakening. 

This deadly affliction continues to grow in incidence, devastating families in The Park’s hibernating communities. Through outreach programmes via the Foundation, Park Animals have received support and financial assistance. The reasons for this scourge require much further study, however, if we are to prevent further devastation of our hibernating communities.

This new, thirty-six-month project will begin in May 2016. Further announcements will be made regarding the project’s leaders and venues.

The University is deeply grateful for the funding and wishes to thank the anonymous donor whose generosity and empathy knows no bounds. We are confident that your generous donation will save countless lives and your effort on behalf of hibernators will become a shining example of the power of interspecial caring.
