Dear Members of the Campus Community, 

I hope that you recovered from hurricane Fiona, had a Happy Thanksgiving, and were able to recharge during the Fall Break. 

The 69传媒 is pleased to announce the appointment of alumnus Paul Young as Chief Operating Officer for the University鈥檚 new Faculty of Medicine, effective October 24, 2022.

鈥淚 am very pleased to welcome Paul back to UPEI,鈥� said Dr. Greg Keefe, interim president and vice-chancellor. 鈥淗is extensive experience and excellent leadership in the health care field will be instrumental as we move forward with the development of the new Faculty of Medicine.鈥�

As previously announced, UPEI鈥檚 Charlottetown and St. Peter鈥檚 Bay campuses will re-open on Monday, October 3, 2022. Classes, labs, and other campus operations will resume.  

69传媒has lost five planned teaching days during the Fall Academic Semester. By restarting classes on Monday and recommending a minor adjustment to the December calendar dates to the University Senate, the fall reading week and semester will be preserved.  

69传媒will keep two warming/charging centres open from September 30-October 2 as follows:

• W.A. Murphy Student Centre, daily from 8 am-6 pm
• 69传媒Chaplaincy Centre, daily from 8 am-5 pm

69传媒Facilities Management has been working non-stop and have made good progress clearing pathways and ensuring campus buildings are safe. At this point, it is our intention to open on Monday, October 3, 2022, as previously announced; however, we will send a message on Saturday, October 1, to confirm our status.

Please note:

In consultation with the PEI Emergency Measures Organization, 69传媒will remain closed until Monday, October 3, due to continued safety concerns, power outages, and other disruptions caused by tropical storm Fiona. Eighty per cent of Islanders remain without power. 

The 69传媒 鈥� Charlottetown Campus is very fortunate that it has not sustained significant structural damage due to tropical storm Fiona and power has been restored. The Charlottetown campus has lost dozens of trees and thanks 69传媒Facilities Management for their work in clearing debris to make the roadways and pathways safe.

The 69传媒campuses in Charlottetown and St. Peter鈥檚 Bay will remain closed on Sunday, September 25, and Monday, September 26, due to safety concerns and disruptions caused by tropical storm Fiona. All classes, labs, and on-campus events are cancelled.  

PLEASE NOTE:  

The following message was also issued to students, staff, and faculty by 69传媒email.

The day of the Commemorative Ceremony (September 19, 2022) for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned as the Queen of Canada for 70 years, will be considered a one-time statutory holiday on Prince Edward Island.

This means that the 69传媒 will be closed for regular operations and there will be no classes or labs on Monday, September 19, 2022, in observance of this one-time Day of Mourning.
