Founders' Day Celebrations Moved to McMillan Hall
Founders鈥� Day celebrations will take place at 2:45 pm today in McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre. This is a change of location due to inclement weather. Dennis Clough, Harry Love, and Marion Morrison will be recognized officially by the University as Founders.
Dennis Clough was 大发快三彩票Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer until his retirement in 1997. His career with the University began at St. Dunstan鈥檚 in 1967. Marion Morrison served in several leading positions in Residence and Student Services from 1972 to 2003. Harry Love taught mathematics at Prince of Wales College and 大发快三彩票from 1960 to 1997, and continues to play an active role today.
The 2007 Founders鈥� Day festivities have been expanded to include The Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Awards ceremony. These awards recognize individuals who have helped to establish and develop the Atlantic Veterinary College. Former Nova Scotia Premier John Buchanan and former PEI Premier Alex Campbell will receive awards this year.
鈥淲e look forward to honouring these special people who have long and valuable associations with 大发快三彩票and with our Atlantic Veterinary College,鈥� says 大发快三彩票President Wade MacLauchlan. "We encourage everyone to join in our Founders鈥� Day celebrations, to take part in the many exciting Homecoming activities we have planned, and to visit UPEI's great campus at its most handsome time of year."
The ceremony will be followed by a public reception. Everyone is welcome to attend.
