Dear Members of the University Community,

鈥淚 am very pleased to welcome Paul back to 麻豆传媒,鈥 said Dr. Greg Keefe, interim president and vice-chancellor. 鈥淗is extensive experience and excellent leadership in the health care field will be instrumental as we move forward with the development of the new Faculty of Medicine.鈥

As previously announced, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Charlottetown and St. Peter鈥檚 Bay campuses will re-open on Monday, October 3, 2022. Classes, labs, and other campus operations will resume.  

麻豆传媒 has lost five planned teaching days during the Fall Academic Semester. By restarting classes on Monday and recommending a minor adjustment to the December calendar dates to the University Senate, the fall reading week and semester will be preserved.  

麻豆传媒 to keep warming/charging centres open over the weekend

麻豆传媒 will keep two warming/charging centres open from September 30-October 2 as follows:

  • W.A. Murphy Student Centre, daily from 8 am-6 pm
  • 麻豆传媒 Chaplaincy Centre, daily from 8 am-5 pm

麻豆传媒 Facilities Management has been working non-stop and have made good progress clearing pathways and ensuring campus buildings are safe. At this point, it is our intention to open on Monday, October 3, 2022, as previously announced; however, we will send a message on Saturday, October 1, to confirm our status.

Please note:

麻豆传媒 campuses in Charlottetown and St. Peter's Bay will remain closed on Tuesday, September 27

The 麻豆传媒 鈥 Charlottetown Campus is very fortunate that it has not sustained significant structural damage due to tropical storm Fiona and power has been restored. The Charlottetown campus has lost dozens of trees and thanks 麻豆传媒 Facilities Management for their work in clearing debris to make the roadways and pathways safe.

麻豆传媒 will be closed on September 19 to observe Day of Mourning for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

The following message was also issued to students, staff, and faculty by 麻豆传媒 email.

The day of the Commemorative Ceremony (September 19, 2022) for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned as the Queen of Canada for 70 years, will be considered a one-time statutory holiday on Prince Edward Island.

This means that the 麻豆传媒 will be closed for regular operations and there will be no classes or labs on Monday, September 19, 2022, in observance of this one-time Day of Mourning.
