Call for Nominations: Recognition of UPEI Founders
UPEI honours its rich heritage and traditions by acknowledging members of the campus community who have contributed to its mission in an exceptional way by naming them “Founders,” an initiative established by President Emeritus Wade MacLauchlan in 2000.
Recognizing our Founders is an opportunity to honour those who have worked diligently and passionately to build the University into the highly regarded institution of higher education it is today. The award is presented to members of the campus community who have played a direct role in supporting the vision, reputation, and continued success of the University and/or creating a new era of educational, research, and/or service excellence at the University.
Typically, two nominees are selected each year. Nominations are limited to one page (500 words) in length and must address the following three areas:
- Why do think this nominee is a worthy recipient of this award?
- How has the nominee met the criteria of the award?
- Please include any further information you feel is important about the nominee.
If you wish to submit a nomination for this award, please email your submission to communications@upei.ca, including your name, business telephone number, email address, and relationship to the nominee along with the name, address, telephone number, and email address of the person you wish to nominate. Completed nominations must be received by November 21, 2022, at 11:59 pm.
