President's Town Hall: It's Easy "Bein' Green"

The third in this series of President's town halls for the 2025 winter academic semester is called "It's Easy 'Bein' Green'!"

For this town hall, we have invited students to bring forward their ideas for actions that UPEI and its community members can take quickly and easily to enhance our environmental sustainability and reduce negative environmental impact on the University campus.    

Students will provide very brief presentations on what actions could be taken from their points of view. The audience will be able to commit to green-enhancing activities too!

"My class is a close knit group that grew to be my closest friends and supporters."

What brought you to UPEI? In other words, why did you choose to study here?

I am from Belfast, PEI and I studied radiography at UPEI from 2016 to 2019. I knew I wanted to go into radiography and I heard great things about UPEI’s program, and being from PEI myself it was nice to stay close to home during my undergraduate studies.
