IT Systems and Services has completed the rollout of a new antivirus and workstation security application, ESET Endpoint Security, which has replaced the previous product, Kaspersky.
If you have a UPEI Windows workstation and still have the old Kaspersky application installed (indicated by a red “K” icon by the clock) you will need to restart your computer to complete the installation process (which runs automatically). Please ensure your computer is connected to the wired UPEI network before restarting your PC.
If you run into any issues with the ESET installation please contact the ITSS Help Desk at helpdesk@upei.ca or 902-566-0465. If you use a UPEI Mac workstation, please submit a request to the ITSS Help Desk requesting to have ESET installed on your Mac.
How do you know if you have ESET installed? You will see a blue & white “e” icon on your system tray (by the clock). If you still have the old Kaspersky antivirus you will see a red “K” icon instead.
It is very important that you update your antivirus and security applications, otherwise your computer will be susceptible to viruses and other security breaches, which can also spread to other computers throughout the university.
In recognition of the outstanding performance and dedication of our faculty and staff, a number of annual awards have been created to acknowledge their efforts and achievements.
Up to 10 Presidential Awards of Merit for UPEI Faculty, Librarians and Clinical Veterinary Professionals and four Presidential Awards of Merit for UPEI Staff will be awarded in 2018. These awards will be presented during a Celebration of Colleagues to be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 from 2:00-4:00 in McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre.
Susan Connolly, Associate Vice-President, Human Resources & Legal, will lead the process and chair the committee to select award recipients.
Nominations for both faculty and staff awards close on Wednesday, April 4, 2018.

In consideration of the difficulties that exposure to scented products cause to sensitive individuals UPEI asks for your cooperation in making our campus a scent-free environment. We ask that all faculty, staff, students, and visitors refrain from wearing or using products with strong scents/fragrances while on campus. A few examples of products to refrain from wearing or using are: colognes/perfumes, body sprays, lotions, hair care products, hand/body soaps and lotions, shaving cream, sun screen, laundry soap, fabric softeners, air fresheners, scented candles and Aromatic Oils (used in aromatherapy).
UPEI’s Scent-Free Initiative Policy can be viewed here: http://www.upei.ca/policy/files/policy/Scent-Free%20Initiative.pdf
If you have any questions about UPEI’s Scent-Free Initiative please contact the Health, Safety and Environment Department at 902-566-0901 (Kathryn Harrison) or 902-566-0516 (Kevin Robinson).
