Dear Faculty and Staff,

Over the past year and a half, we have worked together to overcome tremendous challenges during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. While UPEI has done very well to return to a more in-person educational delivery mode for the fall semester, it has become very apparent that we need to take further measures in order to ensure that our campus continues to be as safe as possible for all members of our community.

For Dr. Karem Simon and Dr. Greg Doran, this day has been a long time coming.

UPEI’s new residence building, now under construction, will be home to a new performing arts venue, including a 400-seat theatre.
