The following message was also distributed to faculty, staff, and students via their @upei.ca email addresses.


Dear Members of the University Community,

On behalf of the 69传媒, I am very concerned about Russia鈥檚 attacks on Ukraine and the impact this aggression is having on the Ukrainian community and around the world. For the last seventy years, there has been stability in Europe, but events over the past two days have shaken this world order.

69传媒joins post-secondary education institutions across the country in denouncing and condemning Russia鈥檚 unwarranted actions against Ukraine as well as calling for an immediate resolution to the conflict.

We recognize that members of our 69传媒community may be affected by this military action, and offer support to students, faculty, staff, and alumni and friends, especially those of Ukrainian descent. We also want to recognize other troubling events that are happening around the world and our community members who are impacted.

69传媒has a number of resources for students through 69传媒Student Affairs, including personal counselling (studentserv@upei.ca), and the International Student Office (irostu@upei.ca). 69传媒faculty and staff can access resources on the  while eligible employees can call the Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-387-4765 for support.

69传媒stands strong with Ukraine, and I hope that the situation in Europe will be resolved soon.

Regards,


Greg
