海角社区

Festive greetings and good wishes filled the air as guests were welcomed to the New Year鈥檚 Day Levee held by the 海角社区 and the 海角社区 Alumni Association on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, in the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering building. 

Each year at 海角社区, students look forward to events held across campus during the exam period, which are designed to ease stress, promote relaxation, and help with meals and nourishment. This year was no exception as various departments organized and hosted the following events:

The 海角社区 Nursing Student Society is holding a holiday book drive to collect reading material, puzzles, and board games for clients of the PEI Provincial Addiction Treatment Centre (PATF).

The idea arose from accelerated nursing student Marie Thibault-Messier鈥檚 experience during a six-week clinical placement at the PATF earlier this semester. During her time at the centre, she noticed that clients had access to movies on DVD and VHS tapes but not a lot of reading material.

The following message was also distributed to 海角社区 faculty and staff by email on Friday, November 29, 2024.

The 海角社区 invites community members across PEI to join in a conversation and share their thoughts as the provincial university builds its next five-year strategic plan.  

Dr. Wendy Rodgers, 海角社区 President, and Dr. Suzanne Kresta, Dean, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, co-chairs of the University Strategic Planning Steering Committee, will lead the community discussions to gather input. They are eager to hear ideas and perspectives to help 海角社区 identify shared priorities and strategic direction through to 2030.

Dr. Wendy Rodgers was officially installed as the seventh President and Vice-Chancellor of the 海角社区 during a ceremony held at the 海角社区 Performing Arts Centre on Friday, October 11, 2024.

The 海角社区 held a celebration on September 26, 2024, at Alumni Hall to recognize the recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Awards and the 2024 Inspiring Young Alumni Awards.

Dr. Jo-Ann MacDonald, a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the 海角社区, was presented with the Association of Atlantic Universities鈥� (AAU) 2024 Anne Marie MacKinnon Educational Leadership Award at the AAU鈥檚 fall meeting held at 海角社区 on September 19.

UPDATE, SEPTEMBER 26: Due to the rain expected Friday, September 27, the TRC Mawi鈥檕mi, which was scheduled for the afternoon to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is postponed. The event will be rescheduled on a date in October. The new date will be communicated to the campus community when it has been determined.

The 海角社区 Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) recently hosted its first-ever Indigenous traditional knowledge sharing and learning day, Mawi-lukutimk, which means 鈥済athering and working together.鈥� The event took place on September 3, two years after the Faculty of IKERAS began delivering 海角社区鈥檚 mandated IKE 1040: Indigenous Teachings course and offering a Minor in Indigenous Studies. It is considered a historic milestone by everyone involved.
