Long-Term Sustainability —achieving growth to ensure a thriving, sustainable future.
In May 2014, over 1,000 students graduated from the University of Prince Edward Island. They join a strong and supportive global network of 23,000 fellow alumni—proud and successful graduates of St. Dunstan’s University, Prince of Wales College, and the University of Prince Edward Island. The successful recruitment and retention of talented students, and the ongoing engagement of our alumni, are critical to UPEI’s long-term sustainability.
