Hi to our Welcome Week Crew!!
MEET YOUR 2026 Welcome Week COORDINATORS!
Hasna Mady (She/Her):
Hi everyone! My name is Hasna Mady, and I am one of the 2026 Welcome Week Coordinators. I am passionate about creating meaningful connections and helping students feel welcomed, supported, and excited about their university experience. After serving as a Welcome Week Leader last year, I am thrilled to now be helping plan and enhance Welcome Week for incoming students!
A little bit about me—I am entering my third year of the Business Administration program, specializing in Marketing. I currently serve as a Student Union Senate Representative and am completing my second term in the role. I am also one of the Co-Chairs for UPEI Relay for Life, where I help lead one of the university’s largest student-led fundraising events in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, going for walks, and spending time with friends and fellow students.
If you see me around campus, please don’t hesitate to say hello! I am always happy to chat, answer questions, and help make your transition to UPEI a great one.
Gia Man (Mary) Truong (She/Her):
Hi everyone! My name is Mary, and I am one of your 2026 Welcome Week Coordinators!
I’m so excited to help make your first few weeks at UPEI memorable, fun, and maybe a little less overwhelming.
A little bit about me – I’m an international student from Vietnam entering my third year of Business Administration, specializing in Organizational Management. I’m also a minor in Psychology and am part of the Co-op Program.
When I’m not studying, you’ll probably find me reading, writing, traveling, making vlogs, trying new foods, and playing the piano, guitar, or ukulele (depending on which instrument is winning my attention that day). I’m also a huge dog lover, so feel free to share your dog photos (or any other pets you have)!
If you see me around campus, don’t be shy, come say hi! Whether you have questions, concerns, need directions, or just want to talk about food, travel, or dogs, I’d be happy to chat. I can’t wait to meet you all and help make Welcome Week 2026 an amazing experience!
🙂
