From AVC to Disney: Dr. Dan Fredholm’s Magical Journey to Zoo Medicine
When Dr. Dan Fredholm first entered the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) in 2009, he envisioned a future as a small animal veterinarian. Like any great Disney story, destiny had other plans. Today, he is a respected specialist, board-certified by the American College of Zoological Medicine, and clinical veterinarian with Disney’s Animals, Science, and Environment.
From Seeds to Strength: Cultivating Care and Community
Take a breather, relax with friends, and paint a planter pot! This event is a great chance to be creative, to meet new people, and to envision ways to cultivate care and community on campus. How can each of us be a seed of change? What do each of us need to grow and thrive?
All art supplies will be provided, and you will receive seeds to grow in your new pot.
Everyone is welcome – students, staff, and faculty!
Hosted by the UPEI Student Union Student Wellness Coordinator and the UPEI Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office.
Consent in Every Corner: Respecting Boundaries Across Campus
Consent is a key part of all social interactions and healthy relationships. This is true for friends, family, lovers, acquaintances, coworkers, classmates, and people we don’t know yet!

ACENET workshop: Foundations of machine learning
Are you curious about machine learning but unsure where to start or whether it's the right fit for you? Join ACENET for an introductory session that explores the fundamentals of machine learning and its applications. We’ll break down key terminology—machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks—so you can confidently navigate the field. You'll learn about essential methods, from simple models like Linear Regression and Decision Trees for classification to more advanced techniques such as Support Vector Machines and Neural Networks—the foundation of Large Language Models.
ACENET workshop (Day 2): Big data analysis with Apache Spark
Apache Spark is an open-source software for large-scale data processing and analysis. Using Apache Spark and Python (PySpark), this workshop is aimed at analyzing data sets that are too large to be handled and processed by a single computer. In a hands-on format using PySpark, participants will learn to import data, and use functions to transform, reduce and compile the data. You will also learn how to produce parallel algorithms that can run on the national clusters.
