From AVC to Disney: Dr. Dan Fredholm’s Magical Journey to Zoo Medicine

When Dr. Dan Fredholm first entered the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) in 2009, he envisioned a future as a small animal veterinarian. Like any great Disney story, destiny had other plans. Today, he is a respected specialist, board-certified by the American College of Zoological Medicine, and clinical veterinarian with Disney’s Animals, Science, and Environment.

From Seeds to Strength: Cultivating Care and Community

Take a breather, relax with friends, and paint a planter pot! This event is a great chance to be creative, to meet new people, and to envision ways to cultivate care and community on campus. How can each of us be a seed of change? What do each of us need to grow and thrive?

All art supplies will be provided, and you will receive seeds to grow in your new pot. 

Everyone is welcome – students, staff, and faculty! 

Hosted by the UPEI Student Union Student Wellness Coordinator and the UPEI Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office.
