Dear Members of the University Community,

I would like to begin by expressing gratitude to those in Facilities Management, IT Systems and Services, Residence Services, the Atlantic Veterinary College, and other areas, who have been tirelessly and, in some cases, working around the clock throughout the storm to keep campus safe and necessary operations running.

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Athletes of the Week for January 29–February 5, 2024, are Lauren Rainford (women’s basketball) and Jonah Capriotti (men’s hockey).

Rainford is an education student from Toronto, Ontario. She filled the stat sheet in the Panthers’ February 3 win over the Dalhousie University Tigers. The fourth-year guard scored a game-high 20 points with seven rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and two steals.

The UPEI Board of Governors is committed to improving governance and developing processes and practices that place the University on a sound footing as it continues to respond to and act on the University of Prince Edward Island Review and moves forward with a new president and vice-chancellor in 2024.

Canadian Blood Services and the UPEI Student Union are encouraging students to attend a stem cell swabbing event on February 7 from 11:00 am–1:00 pm and February 8 from 12:00–2:00 pm at the W.A. Murphy Student Centre.

Members of the UPEI campus community between the ages of 17 to 35 can register to become a stem cell donor and potentially be a match for one of the nearly 1,000 Canadian patients waiting for a lifesaving stem cell transplant.

The UPEI campus community and members of the public are invited to attend a presentation on a recent study, Innovative Governance Structures to Support Indigenous Economic Growth, on Thursday, February 8, 2024, from 5:30–6:30 pm in the Kelley Memorial Building, Room 237.
