UPEI Engineering school supports CIBC Run for the Cure

The UPEI School of Sustainable Design Engineering (SDE) participated in the CIBC Run for the Cure on October 4, and did so in big way. Stephen Peters, a second-year SDE student, came in second in the men's competition with a time of 24 minutes in the 5K run. The School also took home the award for “Post-Secondary Team Challenge” and the team was recognized at the Closing Ceremony with a plaque.

The team included staff, faculty, and Year 3 and Year 2 students.

Associate Professor Amy Hsiao said, “It was wonderful to be part of the community. We ran in honour of cancer health care professionals, moms, loved ones lost, and survivors, as well as engineering research and design focused on detection and treatment.”

She added, “We challenge other UPEI departments next year to join in for a great cause!”

Overall, the event in PEI raised $109,666.35.
