The MAPUS Mandate

MAPUS originated in 1983 as a means of providing mature and part-time students with a voice on campus and a place to gather. MAPUS has been recognized as a significant part of UPEI with seats on the Senate and Student Council.

MAPUS is dedicated to ensuring that mature and part-time students at UPEI have a positive experience. This is accomplished by maintaining a lounge where students are welcomed and feel comfortable, offering services and activities specific to their needs, providing a staff resource person to assist students, and acting as an advocate for all mature and part-time students at UPEI.

MAPUS is directed by the Executive Committee elected by the general membership. The committee consists of :

2010-2011
President: George Curtis
Vice-President: Bryan MacAusland

Treasurer: Joshua Boone
Senate Rep: Margaret Doyle
Staff:   Ann Matheson

What is MAPUS all about?

The MAPUS lounge is located in the lower level of Main Building room 102.
