It is with great sadness that UPEI announces that Lisa Rogerson, a second-year Psychology student, passed away at the IWK Hospital in Halifax on July 15, 2017 after complications from stage-four lymphoma. A benefit organized by her student peers and friends had been held earlier that day in support of Lisa and her family.

Lisa was devoted to her community and integral in the creation of the performance and visual arts series in the Dawson Lounge, SDU Main Building.

The University extends condolences to Lisa’s family and friends and asks that you keep them in your thoughts. Flags will be lowered to half-mast in her memory until Monday, July 24.
