UPEI faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend the Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell Lectureship in Law on Friday, October 31 in Don and Marion McDougall Hall, room 242 at 1:30 pm.

This year's speaker is Mary Anne Waldron, QC, Professor of Law at the University of Victoria and Associate Vice-President Faculty Relations and Academic Administration, who will present her lecture entitled "Equality and Conscience: Can the Law Protect Both?"

This lecture is free and all are welcome to attend. For more information, please contact (902) 566-0307.
On Thursday, October 30, and Friday, October 31, 7:00-11:30 pm, UPEI music students will be turning the Steel Building into a spooky three-story haunted house. Admission is $5.00 per person, and $4.00 if you show a valid UPEI or Holland College student ID. Admission includes a free cup of hot chocolate. Proceeds from this event will go towards music scholarships and awards, and to help support the large performance ensembles of the Music Department.
UPEI students are going door-to-door in surrounding neighbourhoods to collect non-perishable food items on Friday, October 31 from 5:00–7:00 pm in support of UPEI’s food bank. Trick or Eat® is a youth-led national event that puts a new spin on the annual night of giving – Halloween. Instead of candy, thousands of Trick or Eaters across the country raise money online and go door-to-door to collect non-perishable food items for local food agencies. We also raise awareness about hunger in Canada through household flyers, educational materials, and online resources. Suggested items include: pasta products/pasta sauce, rice, canned meats and fish, peanut butter, cereal, canned vegetables, dry and canned soups, fruit juices, canned/powdered milk, baby food, diapers, and beans and legumes. UPEI students, staff, and faculty can drop off any food donations to the Residence Office, Bernadine Hall, 340 (first floor). The office is open from 9:00 am-8:00 pm. All proceeds will support UPEI’s Food Bank. Interested in canvassing for the campaign? Contact Aaron Patton at apatton@upei.ca or Mitchell McIntosh at mrmcintosh@upei.ca
