ºÚÁÏÍø

Once again this year, ºÚÁÏÍø and the ºÚÁÏÍø Alumni Association hosted a successful New Year's Day Levee with ºÚÁÏÍø interim President and Vice-Chancellor Greg Keefe greeting over 400 levee-goers.

The ºÚÁÏÍø and the ºÚÁÏÍø Alumni Association are hosting their annual New Year's Levee on Monday, January 1, 2024, from 11:30 am–1:00 pm, and all are welcome to attend.

The ºÚÁÏÍø Department of Development and Alumni Engagement asks people to consider supporting and inspiring students by contributing to the 2023–2024 ºÚÁÏÍø Annual Fund by the end of this year. All gifts made before midnight on December 31 will receive a 2023 charitable tax receipt. The ºÚÁÏÍø thanks all those who have already given this year.

The ºÚÁÏÍø Board of Governors welcomes three new members for a three-year team: Kristi Kelly; Donald K. MacKenzie; and Dr. Ajay Sahajpal. 

Dr. Greg Keefe, interim president and vice-chancellor of the ºÚÁÏÍø, issued a message to students, staff, and faculty in the lead up to the holiday break, which begins Friday.

The ºÚÁÏÍø has created seven new positions in the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Office, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO), and Student Affairs. The seven positions are being funded by a combination of internal resources and new support from the Government of Prince Edward Island.

Twenty-seven community organizations received a total of $657,453 through the Government of Prince Edward Island’s Gender, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (GEDI), and Community Enhancement Program to support healthier, more inclusive, diverse communities across PEI. Two of those recipients were the ºÚÁÏÍø Experiential Education Department and the ºÚÁÏÍø Mawi’omi Indigenous Student Centre.

The ºÚÁÏÍø held its 22nd Recognition of Founders ceremony on Friday, December 15, 2023, in The McCain Foundation Learning Commons, Atlantic Veterinary College, to acknowledge those who have contributed to the University in a significant way.

Dr. John VanLeeuwen, interim dean of the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the ºÚÁÏÍø, sends holiday greetings and reflects on the astounding achievements of 2023.

The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the ºÚÁÏÍø proudly presented the 2023 Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award to Mr. Ken and Dr. Teresa Mellish during the AVC’s annual Donor and Client Appreciation Night on Monday, November 27, 2023.
