UPEI rings in the New Year at Levee

UPEI’s annual New Year’s Day Levee at the new School of Sustainable Design Engineering proved to be a popular stop for members of the community who were carrying on the tradition of spreading good cheer across the province.

UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz and Valerie Abd-El-Aziz, along with UPEI Student Union President Nathan Hood, UPEI Board of Governors Chair Pat Sinnott and Darlene Sinnott, and UPEI Alumni Association President Curtis Toombs, greeted close to 500 guests at the 2017 edition of the University’s time-honoured event.

A group of international students provided a helpful hand as they welcomed attendees, wrote out presentation cards, and helped to collect and hang up coats.

Once again, UPEI alumni and friends were highly visible on the levee circuit as they sported the latest version of the highly sought-after, argyle-knit UPEI alumni scarf. This year’s fashion accessory was black in colour and accented in UPEI rust.
