The Office of the Vice-President Administration and Finance wishes to inform the University community that the Board of Governors has approved a new Conflict of Interest Policy.  The purpose of this policy is to define conflicts of interest at the University and establish procedures to effectively address and manage them. 

All members of the university community, including faculty and staff, have an obligation to declare any conflicts of interest in accordance with the policy.  Please keep in mind that a conflict of interest can be actual, perceived, or foreseeable; when in doubt, seek guidance from your conflict officer as outlined in the policy.

The policy can be found here: https://files.upei.ca/policy/conflict_of_interest_policy_govbrdgnl0018.pdf.  It is important that all members of the university community review the policy carefully and become familiar with the standards and requirements it contains.

The Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture program will host a Bruce Rainnie public speaking workshop on Saturday, 8 September 2018 from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm. The aim of this workshop is to provide a small group of UPEI employees with an opportunity to improve their public speaking skills. Priority will be given to participants who are interested in improving their ability to communicate effectively through the press, but all interested participants are welcome to apply.

Bruce Rainnie brings a wealth of public communications experience with him to his position as the Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture Program’s Practitioner in Residence. He is currently the President and CEO of the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame in Halifax. Prior to this position, he was the host of CBC News: Compass, the supper-hour news program for Prince Edward Island. In that role, he helped Compass become the country’s number one rated CBC supper-hour news broadcast. Bruce is known nationally for his work with CBC Sports. Along with being a regular host on Hockey Night in Canada, he broadcast eight Olympic games–including the most recent games in South Korea.

Bruce Rainnie is an engaging speaker and an insightful mentor. His leadership in this program will ensure that participants will come away from the workshop with boosted confidence in their own communication abilities.
