Painted stones on campus deliver messages of care
University of Prince Edward Island students came together with UPEI Campus Life, UPEI Student Union, and the UPEI Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SV-PRO) on September 16 to paint stones with messages of respect, consent, compassion, and care. The stones are now scattered across campus along walkways and in flower beds so that all UPEI community members can see the art and receive the messages of care.

Philosophy Talk: Trump and Truth
The Department of Philosophy is hosting a Philosophy Talk, open to all, called "Trump and Truth" by Dr. Daniel Harris.
Donald Trump is surely a post-truth President. However, rather than abandoning truth altogether, Trumps seeks to alter our sense of which sources of knowledge are to be trusted and so of what passes for true. To call mainstream media “fake news”, for instance, is to rely on the possibility of real, true news. Trump does not malign truth so much as our usual practices of building consensus around what counts as true.
