Since the search process for the Vice-President, People and Culture (VPPC) position began in Fall 2024, the Advisory Selection Committee has undertaken a comprehensive search and has selected finalist candidates. Candidate "B" is joining the campus community on January 16, 2025, for an in-person vision presentation as well as several small-group meetings (by invitation only).

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, it is important for the campus community to have engagement in this search process. The University is also committed to protecting the candidates' 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.  

Campus community members are asked to 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/resumé will be available for attendees to review.

A feedback survey, available at this link, is in place for members of the campus community to provide their input and feedback following Candidate "B"'s vision presentation and small-group meetings until 5:00 pm, January 23, 2025.
