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 to learn more about the priorities and goals of our students as the University develops its roadmap for the future.

In collaboration with the UPEI Student Union, a conversation with undergraduate students will be held on:

The Institute of Island Studies is hosting an online information session for the upcoming conference, Turning the Tide: Island Imaginaries & Interdisciplinaries in Climate Change, which will be at UPEI from June 16-20, 2025. This information session will include a short presentation from conference organizers, followed by a Q&A session. The goal of this session is to share information regarding the upcoming conference, and to answer any questions or concerns students might have about attending academic conferences.

Join Island Studies for the first of our Island Studies film series on October 28, at 7:00 pm in SDU Main Building 211. We will screen "The Grand Seduction," a comedy about a small fishing community in Newfoundland that tries to seduce a doctor from away in order to secure a contract for a factory to be built on the island. Following the screening, Island Studies faculty will lead a discussion about the film, drawing out its island themes of isolation, limited resources, and the resilience of Islanders. 

In April 2023, Universities Canada released their “Commitments to Truth and Reconciliation” document, which outlines six commitments in response to the TRC Calls to Action. A group of UPEI colleagues have been researching what this looks like in Atlantic Canada Universities. Here is a link to a summary of their findings.  Join them in the TLC on November 4 at 10:30 am to learn more.
