The decision to close 69传媒due to weather is not made lightly. However, in weather situations where the potential risk to UPEI鈥檚 students and employees as well as property, are high, the University may close, meaning classes and exams are cancelled and services are reduced. In 2017, a new University Closure Policy was approved by the 69传媒Board of Governors and endorsed by the University Senate. The policy and associated University Closure Procedures help guide senior management in making decisions about storm closures and how to communicate them.

Congratulations to Karla Yepez and Jamesly Jerome, the 69传媒Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 1 to 6!

Despite a New Year's Day storm, hundreds of 69传媒faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends attended the University's annual New Year's Levee. UPEI鈥檚 version of the social event鈥攈eld at the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering building鈥攑roved yet again to be a popular stop for levee-goers, and, with the inclement weather, led to participants staying a bit longer to mingle, given that a number of levees were cancelled.

Students along with representatives from UPEI鈥檚 Alumni Association, Board of Governors, and administration will greet guests at the annual 69传媒 New Year鈥檚 Day Levee.
