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.

In a message to students, staff, and faculty, President Keefe encourages community members to honour, pay tribute, give thank, and remember the brave men and women who served—and who continue to serve—our country during times of war, conflict, and peace.
