What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I was born in Kawasaki, Japan and moved to Prince Edward Island when I was eight years old. I’ve lived in Charlottetown ever since, so I became very familiar with the campus, the sport teams, and events even before I started to apply to universities. I remember going to the haunted mansion that the UPEI music program had put on and I remember being petrified in the best way by the end.

Talking Points

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to scramble your way through a presentation you have no control over? It’s more fun than you think, and you can experience it yourself (or just come to watch!) on Tuesday, September 10, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship in the Robertson Library (201)!

Note* If you would like to participate, please bring a phone or computer that can access wi-fi or cellular data.
