Dear Members of the UPEI Community,

On behalf of the UPEI Board of Governors, I am pleased to share a report completed by Cheryl Foy of Strategic Governance, An external review of the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) Board Governance.

The Board looks forward to addressing the recommendations in this report and continuing its efforts to enhance oversight, transparency and accountability, and to supporting the University in realizing its commitment to making the changes needed to enable UPEI and its community to move forward, to live its values, and to achieve its mission of scholarship to the benefit of our Island and beyond.

Sincerely,

Shannon MacDonald, FCA, CPA, ICD.D (she/her)
