Movie Talks @ Robertson Library: Lost Boys of Sudan

Robertson Library and WUSC UPEI invite you to attend a screening of the documentary Lost Boys of Sudan. Lost Boys of Sudan is a documentary film by Megan Mylan and Jon Shenk about two Dinka boys from Sudan who travel from a refugee camp in Kenya to the United States to escape the civil war in their country. Admission is free, but there will be donations accepted at the door to raise money for the Shine A Light program, an initiative that provides women and girls within refugee camps the opportunity to better their education prospects.

Library at the heart of UPEI’s last 50 years—and its future

“It’s not an accident the library was one of the first major capital construction projects after UPEI came into being,” said University Librarian Donald Moses, sitting at his desk in the Robertson Library. A broad window overlooks a courtyard where students come and go.

“It was a huge priority for our first president, Ron Baker, because he knew the library is the heart of any university. It was true 50 years ago, and it’s true today.”
