Welcome Week is almost here! Calling all Panthers to participate!
The Office of Student Culture and Community Standards is excited to share details with the campus community about Welcome Week 2025, UPEI’s new, more inclusive version of student orientation week.
Welcome Week 2025 will be held from August 29 to September 7 and, this year, is open to all Panthers, not only incoming students:
- Undergraduate and graduate students, including those at the Atlantic Veterinary College and in other professional programs,
- Incoming students, whether they living on- or off-campus,
- Returning students across all UPEI programs,
- Family members and supporters, and
- Faculty, staff, alumni, and friends
Welcome Week 2025 includes new events such as the first-ever UPEI Music Fest and brings back favourites, such as the President’s Welcome Back BBQ on Tuesday September 2.
Kaitlyn Smith and Ruboneka Shema Alvin (Shema), 2025 Welcome Week Coordinators, encourage faculty, staff, and students from all years to join in the fun. They both say, “Whether you’re looking for fun, connection, or a way to kick off the new academic year with Panther Pride, you’ll find it during Welcome Week 2025!”
