Every member of our faculty and staff works to create a rich learning environment that inspires, excites, and motivates our students to ask questions, seek answers, and achieve their best in the classroom and beyond.
UPEI’s CAMPUS LIFE PROGRAM is here to help you build friendships, create memories, and love university life! Our Campus Life Advisors will be planning events throughout the year. If you would like to help or have an event idea, let us know. Come out and be a part of UPEI’s campus life! “Allowing yourself a break can actually help you be more productive. We try to make students as comfortable as possible, and let them work into their own study-life balance.” Paige MacLean, Campus Life Advisor
