The University of Prince Edward Island honours its rich heritage and traditions by acknowledging members of the campus community who have contributed to its mission in an exceptional way by naming them “Founders,” an initiative established by President Emeritus Wade MacLauchlan in 2000.

Dr. Wendy Rodgers, President and Vice-Chancellor, invites the University community to attend the Recognition of Founders Ceremony on Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 1:30 pm in Schurman Market Square, Don and Marion McDougall Hall, to honour the 2025 Founders for their contributions to the University: 

  • Dr. Debbie MacLellan
  • Donna Barnes
  • Dr. Gerald Johnson

Recognizing our Founders is an opportunity to honour those who have worked diligently and passionately to build the University into the highly regarded institution of higher education it is today. 

All are welcome!
