The following message was also emailed directly to students, staff, and faculty on September 23, 2024. 

Dear University Community,  

As we move into fall, we are eager to begin the process of rolling out a series of conversations and consultations to engage with University constituency groups on the development of UPEI’s 2025–2030 strategic plan.  

"The commitment of the Elders, faculty, and staff is most impressive."

Dr. Angelina Weenie, from Sweetgrass Nation, Saskatchewan, was appointed dean of the UPEI Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) in July of 2024.

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to join the Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies?

This is an exciting opportunity for me to be part of IKERAS. I am from the Prairies and the East presents new learning and life opportunities.
