In partnership with primarily local employers, 73 undergraduate students across three faculties were employed in roles benefitting the students’ professional development and providing employers with access to high-quality talent. The co-op program had a 100 per cent placement rate for the summer, with every student seeking a work term through the program being hired.

Atlantic Veterinary College cancels the 2021 AVC Open House

For the second year, the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island has made the decision to cancel AVC Open House.

“Open House is one of AVC’s signature events and one that we take great pride in. We know that many people look forward to this event every year, which made this decision even more difficult,” explains Dr. Greg Keefe, dean, Atlantic Veterinary College. “Given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we decided it would be best to be cautious and look to resume Open House next year.”
