The UPEI community was saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Wei-Ching Lin, former faculty member and chair of the physics department. Dr. Lin dedicated over 28 years of teaching to the University. Dr. Lin began his time teaching in June of 1968 at Prince of Wales College and continued until his retirement from UPEI in June of 1996. He also served as Chair of the physics department for many years. Former colleague Doug Dahn, remembers Dr. Lin as a passionate teacher with a great knowledge and love of physics, who was always there for his students. “He was also a mentor who gave me a lot of valuable advice when I was a new faculty member at UPEI,” says Dahn. The well-known PEI-Chinese community leader passed away on Monday, March 17 at the age of 83. Our sympathies are with his wife, retired UPEI physics professor Dr. Lucy Lin and their son Edward. Dr. Lin is resting at the Hennessey Cutcliffe Charlottetown Funeral Home with visiting hours on Friday from 5-8 pm. The funeral will be held in the funeral home chapel on Saturday at 3 pm.
