Regularly Scheduled Events
There are three main events planned each year; namely
- Annual General Meeting (AGM) is the members business meeting occurring in November of each year. The President reports on yearly activities, the Treasurer presents a financial statement for the fiscal year, new business and/or topical issues are discussed, retirees who passed away during the year are remembered, donations are made to the Campus Food Bank and elections are held for vacant Executive positions. In recent years, the business meeting is shortened and a speaker is invited.
- Guest Lectures on topics of interest usually occur during February and October.
- The Spring Luncheon is a social event with a guest speaker, usually held mid June. In 2017, this event was named, the “Annual Ferne and Murray Stevenson Spring Social” in honour of their hosting a barbeque event for many years at their cottage in Stanhope. Dr Preston Smith, Dean, Faculty of Medicine spoke at the June, 2024 luncheon. At the June, 2025 luncheon, Dr. Wendy Rodgers provided an overview of her first year as President and Vice-Chancellor of UPEI.
Ad hoc Events
During the year, other events (e.g. Coffee & Conversation) may take place.
Beginning in 2018 our Association donates money to the Campus Food Bank and volunteers during a Student Soup Luncheon at the Chaplaincy Centre. Members can volunteer to help with the “Soup for the Soul” luncheons and for the December/April student chili luncheons .
