Reminder: Red Dress Day is May 5

Red Dress Day is a National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse Peoples (MMIWG2S) that takes place on May 5. It is a day to remember, to learn, and to take action.

No one knows exactly how many Indigenous women, girls, and gender diverse people have gone missing or have been murdered in Canada, but some estimates indicate the number is more than 4,000 since 1980. It may be much higher.

"The Nursing program is challenging, rewarding and very professional."

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

My hometown is South Granville, Prince Edward Island, and I have always dreamt of pursuing my dream of becoming a registered nurse. I started at Holland College in the practical nursing program and finished one semester there. I got accepted at UPEI for the following semester. I chose to study at UPEI because I had always heard such wonderful things about the university and the success stories of graduates.
