UPEI Statement on Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Veterinary College

The University of Prince Edward Island recognizes the importance of balancing freedom of expression and a supportive learning environment, and that learning can sometimes be uncomfortable.  

UPEI reaffirms its commitment to free expression, critical thinking, and public dialogue.

The University has reached out to Mr. Christopher Griffin, former Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Veterinary College, to offer him the opportunity to give a talk about his artwork and perspective and to show his series of paintings on campus.
