On June 11, UPEI celebrated 12 employees who completed the Restorative Practices Capacity-Building Program. Over four months, these practitioners developed restorative justice skills through eight bi-weekly Reflective Learning sessions and two Training-for-Facilitators workshops. Another 100 senior leaders and middle managers attended a half-day workshop where they gained foundational knowledge in restorative practices.

Recognizing Remarkable Colleagues continues to be a meaningful way for our community to celebrate one another. Since the program began last August, 242 submissions have highlighted the exceptional work, dedication, and kindness of our colleagues.

Thanks to the ongoing interest and participation, submissions will continue to be featured in upcoming issues of Campus Connector. You can read this month’s submissions (organized in alphabetical order) below. 

At the University of Prince Edward Island, community members are helping shape the next generation of health care professionals. Through the standardized patient (SP) program, housed within the UPEI Faculty of Medicine, trained participants work alongside learners from medicine, nursing, and other health disciplines to create realistic patient interactions that build confidence, communication skills, and empathy.
