The University of Prince Edward Island is the first university in the country to launch a project working to eradicate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Canada. I’m Ready to Know is an initiative of REACH Nexus, a national research group working on how to address HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections in Canada. The project has targeted a number of universities, and UPEI is the first one to complete the contract and training and to offer services.

Congratulations to Dr. Jerry Wang, director of recruitment and advisement and the International Student Office at UPEI, on receiving an award from the Canadian Bureau of International Education (CBIE) for his service to the organization.
