Join Accessibility Services and Student Affairs for a Lunch-and-Learn presented by Nicole Wadden Garland, Coordinator of Accessibility Services, and Murray Murphy, Lawyer at Stewart McKelvey. With rising numbers of students registering with Accessibility Services at UPEI (at present more than 10% of the overall student population), it is important to bring awareness to academic accommodations in the university setting. During this session, we will discuss academic accommodations, reasonable accommodations, and undue hardship. The session will take place on October 25, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, in AVC 287N. All are welcome!

At the Chaplaincy Centre, thoughts are with the students during exam time, their success, and yes, of course, the chili dinner. On December 6 and 7, between 11:30 am–1:30 pm, a chili lunch is served at the Chaplaincy Centre, free for the students.  About 300 students show up each day with smiles and conversation during this busy week. Sister Sue would like to extend her gratitude to the staff, faculty, and Student Union that stepped up to help ensure this tradition continues.  This year's menu will be healthier, generate less waste, and reflect the international diversity of the campus. In addition to chili, a vegetarian curry will be served!   Staff and Faculty who would like to volunteer for a shift and help facilitate this annual event can sign-up here.
