The UPEI community extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dr. Hung Min "Min" Chiang, retired professor of psychology, who passed away suddenly on November 24, 2020 at his home in Stratford, PEI. Dr. Chiang loved nature and was "a man of many hobbies", including writing. In 2006, he published the book, "Chinese Islanders: Making a Life in the New World", in which he brought the powerful stories of the early Chinese settlers on PEI to life.
