Campus Vision Presentation by Candidate “A” for VP, Information Technology and CIO

The following message was also emailed to UPEI students, faculty, and staff on January 17, 2025.

Dear UPEI Community,

On behalf of the advisory selection committees for all three vice-presidential searches currently underway, I thank you for your engagement and participation in these important processes.

Today, I am pleased to update you on the search for the Vice-President, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer position.

Since the process began in Fall 2024, the Advisory Selection Committee has undertaken a comprehensive search and has selected one finalist candidate. We are grateful that this individual is investing their time to join the campus community for an in-person vision presentation as well as several small-group meetings (by invitation only) on Thursday, January 23, 2025.

Candidate A: Vice-President, Information Technology and Chief Information Officer
In-Person Vision Presentation and Q & A

• Thursday, January 23, 2025
• 2:30–3:30 pm
• Duffy Science Centre, Room 135 (DSC 135)

It is unusual in today’s post-secondary education landscape to offer current students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to meet finalist candidates in advance in this open manner. However, we recognize that it is important for the campus community to have engagement. At the same time, we are committed to protecting the candidate’s privacy as much as possible and lower the risk to their careers and existing organizations.  Therefore, the vision presentation is in-person only and limited to current UPEI students, staff, and faculty.  

I ask that campus community members keep all discussions and comments confidential and not share the name of the candidate during or after their visit to the University. Recording the presentation is strictly prohibited and no recordings will be distributed following the sessions. Paper copies of the candidate’s cover letter and curriculum vitae/resume will be available for attendees to review.

A feedback survey for Candidate “A”, available at this link, is in place for members of the campus community to provide their input and feedback following the vision presentation and small-group meetings until 5:00 pm, January 30, 2025.

I would like to thank members of the campus community in advance for participating and helping to protect the privacy of our finalist candidate as well as the members of the Advisory Selection Committee for their dedication to this important search.

Sincerely,

Wendy
