The following message was emailed to UPEI students, faculty, and staff on August 21, 2024. The message was updated on August 26 with a Teams Town Hall link so members of the UPEI community can join virtually.

Dear UPEI Community,

As the old expression says, 鈥渢ime flies.鈥 As we approach the beginning of the fall semester, you may recall that on July 18, I sent a message that included several themes that emerged from town halls held earlier in the month. At the time, I indicated we would have many more opportunities to move our discussions along.

Soon afterward, on July 26 and 31 respectively, the University shared the implementation plans for the UPEI Action Plan: Building a Culture of Trust, Safety, and Inclusion, and the UPEI Board of Governors shared a report on the recent Board governance review completed by an external consultant.

I am pleased to announce that the implementation plans and governance review will be the topics of our next event on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, from 11:00 am鈥12:00 pm, in the amphitheatre at the Performing Arts Centre (PAC 121S). (UPDATE: If you are unable to attend in person, you are welcome to join virtually鈥 please join via this .) 

UPEI Board of Governors Chair Shannon MacDonald will join me to hear your thoughts about these important plans as the University continues to make the changes needed for our community to move forward, live its values, and achieve its mission of scholarship to the benefit of our Island and beyond.

Please take the opportunity to look at the implementation plans and the external governance review before we meet.

Hope to see you on the 28th!

With best wishes,

Wendy
