The organizers of the Institute of Island Studies' 2024 Harry Baglole Memorial Public Symposium in Island Studies invite the UPEI campus community and members of the public to stop by the Schurman Market Square between 4 pm and 6 pm on November 7, 2024, to learn more about a few not-for-profit organizations doing work related to the themes of homelessness and food insecurity that we are talking about later that evening in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium.

Graduate students are invited to join Dr. Wendy Rodgers (President and Vice-Chancellor) and Dr. Suzanne Kresta (Dean, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering), co-chairs of the University Strategic Plan Steering Committee, to discuss UPEI’s strategic direction. The forward-thinking consultations are an opportunity for learn more about the priorities and goals of our graduate students as the University develops its roadmap for the future.

In collaboration with the UPEI Graduate Student Association, a conversation with graduate students will be held:
