UPEI’s Departments of Student Affairs and Recruitment and First Year Advising are excited to announce that, for the first time, the Grad Week and New Student Orientation (NSO) programs will be led by two exceptional student leaders during the 2022 cycle. 

Grad Week and NSO Coordinator Nathan Lacroix is a fourth-year biology student who will graduate with his Bachelor of Science degree on Friday, May 13.

The University of Prince Edward Island’s Charlottetown campus is now home to a temporary, cone-shaped Indigenous structure, known as a tipi, that has been erected between the Kelley Memorial Building and the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. 

The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island participated in the Atlantic Provinces Veterinary Conference (APVC) that was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia from April 22 to 24, 2022.

APVC is an annual education conference for veterinary medicine that invites close to nine hundred veterinarians, veterinary students, veterinary technologists, hospital and clinic managers, and front office staff from all four Atlantic provinces.

The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island is pleased to congratulate Dr. Étienne Côté on being invested as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).

Traditionally, fellowship has been reserved for human-medicine physicians, but in 2019 the designation was expanded to recognize distinguished leaders in the cardiovascular community in non-physician professions. Côté is the first ACC Fellow at AVC and one of only five veterinarians in the world who have been elected as an ACC Fellow.   

Sarah Freeburn, a fourth-year student in UPEI’s Diversity and Social Justice Studies program, has been awarded a 2022 3M National Student Fellowship Award by STLHE (Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education).
