In his message to the University community on June 23, Interim President Greg Keefe invited students, staff, and faculty to attend a

UPEI Community Town Hall
Monday, June 26, 2023, 1:30 pm
Performing Arts Centre* in the south tower of the new residence building (PAC 121S) 

This is an opportunity for the University community to speak openly and freely about UPEI's culture, climate, and the Rubin Thomlinson report as we begin our journey of listening and developing an action plan.

The Town Hall will also be available live through Zoom for UPEI community members who are unable or prefer to attend virtually. While we want to be as inclusive as possible, the Town Hall is for members of the UPEI community, so attendance on Zoom will be restricted to those who have an @upei.ca email address. The Town Hall will not be recorded, and the camera will only be pointed to the front stage. Recording the Zoom session is prohibited. Here is the Zoom link:

(Meeting ID: 616 8793 4895 Passcode: 064379)

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Officer will be available in a private room (PAC 110AS) near the Town Hall venue to provide assistance and support to anyone who may be triggered by the discussion.  

In addition, counsellors from TELUS Health (formerly Lifeworks) Employee Family Assistance Program (EFAP) will be available in the Psychology Training Centre, second level of the W.A. Murphy Student Centre, to provide confidential one-to-one support on Monday, June 26, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and on Tuesday, June 27, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. To see a counsellor on a confidential basis, please check in at the reception desk.  

UPEI has a number of resources for students through UPEI Student Affairs, including academic advising and personal counselling (studentserv@upei.ca), and the International Student Office (irostu@upei.ca).  

All members of the University community are invited to participate. 

*Venue location was changed from what was earlier communicated (MCDH 242) to PAC 121S.
