Alumni and Friends rally behind UPEI
From Friday, November 12, until Monday, November 22, the UPEI Alumni Association undertook to engage alumni and friends of the University to support its call for public consultation on proposed changes to the University Act on Prince Edward Island. The level and quality of engagement that resulted was both overwhelming and reassuring to the Association and the University in general.
You are encouraged to read through the letters of support that can be found at friends.upei.ca/universityact. The involvement of our alumni and friends clearly indicates that UPEI continues to be the university on Prince Edward Island, and that our far-reaching University community remains aware of and involved in the life of our institution. Knowing that the level of engagement remains so high has bolstered the Alumni Association to continue to reach out to alumni, hear their concerns and opinions, and present them to the best of their ability in the University and across PEI.
The UPEI Alumni Association thanks everyone who took the time to become informed about the issue, lend their support, and demonstrate their commitment to UPEI and its place on Prince Edward Island. The result of this initiative will provide motivation now and into the future to work enthusiastically on the part of the 20,000 graduates of UPEI, SDU, and PWC.
