Eva Stachniak, Author
Author, Eva Stachniak launched her third novel The Winter Palace to critical acclaim as her story of Catherine The Great is securely set at Number 3 and sure to rise on The Globe and Mail bestsellers list.
Stachniak’s The Winter Palace is a story of power and vulnerability in the court of Empress Elizabeth of Russia at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. John Barber in The Globe and Mail, praised the award-winning Stachniak for her well researched story…
“With The Winter Palace, her deep personal interest in the history of Eastern Europe has magically coincided with a worldwide surge of interest in her subject, Russian empress Catherine the Great.”
Pulitzer prize winning author Jane Smiley reviewed The Winter Palace and said
The Winter Palace, Eva Stachniak, 464 pages, Doubleday Canada
“…The Winter Palace is filled with a sense of disorienting vastness punctuated by particular rules and charms that people use to give themselves a feeling of control.”
Stachniak, formerly a Professor in the Faculty of Business at Sheridan College, had her first artistic success with her debut novel Necessary Lies which won the Amazon.com award for best new novel in 2000.
“I remember well that I started writing fiction when I was a full time instructor at Sheridan College. My colleagues were, in fact, my first readers, and their encouragement meant and still means a lot to me,” said Stachniak.
Stachniak’s novels Necessary Lies and her second novel Garden of Venus have successfully sold world-wide and have been translated into several languages.
Stachniak’s new novel The Winter Palace has had foreign release and is already selling well in the United States, U.K. and Europe and is currently being translated into Polish, Dutch and German for the foreign markets.
“I am delighted that The Winter Palace has met with such overwhelming interest and support. I like to think that every novel I finish is better than the previous one, but in the end all a writer can do is tell a story. The rest depends on readers,” said Stachniak.

Financial Planning students Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler took a solid bronze in the recent CIFP Case Challenge Event
Sheridan Financial Planning students recently had an opportunity to test their skills against students from five other colleges at the annual Canadian Institute of Financial Planners (CIFP) Case Challenge Event placing third overall behind Centennial and George Brown College. The Sheridan Faculty of Business team included Steven Hole, Rohan Sharma and Chris Hoeppler with Professor Sidney Liburd and Associate Dean, Rob Giberson.
Hosted by Centennial College in Scarborough, the November CIFP Case Challenge competition included participants from Centennial; Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; George Brown College; Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning; Mohawk College; and Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology.
“This is a great opportunity to showcase and demonstrate the fine job that these institutions are doing with financial services students,” said Keith Costello, president and CEO of The Canadian Institute of Financial Planning. “It’s a really good indication of where our highly skilled manpower in financial services is going to be coming from in the next 10 to 20 years.”
During the CIFP Case Challenge Event the students are divided into teams of two or three members, a financial case is given to the teams, and they have 90 minutes to craft a plan for that case. The teams each have 20 minutes to present their plans to a panel. The panel asks follow-up questions about the plan following the presentation. The teams are marked on the criteria of time management, creativity and presentation skills.
This event marks the second CIFP competition, last year’s competition was held exclusively for Centennial College students. In future, Costello hopes more colleges across the province — and, eventually, the country — will participate in the competition.

Sheridan’s Faculty of Business film series Ethics in Business continues Tuesday November 29 at 7:00 pm in Room A145 at the Hazel McCallion Campus in Mississauga with Super Size Me, the story of Morgan Spurlock and his journey of epic proportions through a McDonalds only diet.
From the IMDB website:
Several legal suits have been brought against McDonald’s Restaurants that they are knowingly selling food that is unhealthy. Some of the court decisions have stated that the plaintiffs would have a claim if they could prove that eating the food every day for every meal is dangerous. As such, documentarian Morgan Spurlock conducts an unscientific experiment using himself as the guinea pig: eat only McDonald’s for thirty days, three meals a day. If he is asked by the clerk if he would like the meal super sized, he has to say yes. And by the end of the thirty days, he will have had to have eaten every single menu item at least once. Before starting the experiment, he is tested by three doctors – a general practitioner, a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist – who pronounce his general health to be outstanding. They will also monitor him over the thirty days to ensure that he is not placing his health into irreparable damage.
Sheridan’s film series continues next Tuesday at 7:00 pm with Inside Job.

Diwali celebration lights up the Hazel McCallion Campus as Sheridan Business Process Management program students hosted a Diwali celebration recently. Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. Faculty of Business students and faculty from several post graduate programs gathered to mix and mingle and enjoy the festivities.
“The students put on a great event,” said Scott Hadley, Business Process Management Coordinator. “The celebration not only introduced students and faculty to the Diwali Festival but also offered a memorable night for international students new to Canada to feel at home at Sheridan.”
The event was planned and executed by the Business Process Management Leadership Development class. Students worked together organizing the decor, music, and of course a delicious Indian potluck buffet.
