The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island is pleased to congratulate Dr. Étienne Côté on being invested as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
Traditionally, fellowship has been reserved for human-medicine physicians, but in 2019 the designation was expanded to recognize distinguished leaders in the cardiovascular community in non-physician professions.

Message from the President: Faculty installs tipi on the UPEI campus
The following message was distributed on behalf of the Office of the President to students, staff, and faculty via their @upei.ca emails.
Dear Members of the University Community,
"I decided that if I was going to get my degree, now was the time."
What brought you to UPEI? In other words, why did you choose to study here?
In the winter of 2018, I attended a Bachelor of Integrated Studies information session presented by Inge Dorsey (Bachelor of Integrated Studies program co-ordinator) to PEI public sector employees. I had always regretted not getting a degree. Within the public sector, I need a degree if I want to be considered for certain positions and advance my career. Having just turned 50, I decided that if I was going to get my degree, now was the time.
