Two journeys, one goal
Eric Andersen started his post-secondary academic career with modest goals. Since his experience studying abroad in Burgos, Spain as part of UPEI’s May-mester program, he’s looking to hit new targets.
Originally from Makkovik, NL, Eric had been working in northern Labrador mining nickel and copper. Although he enjoyed the work, the pay, the two-week-on two-week-off shift schedule, and the fact that he was close to home, he decided to go back to school. He was looking to expand his employable skills, and found a program of interest at UPEI.
