UPEI鈥檚 Giving Tuesday 2024 campaign deemed a huge success

UPEI鈥檚 2024 Giving Tuesday campaign was an unprecedented success, raising a total of $44,010 from 54 extremely generous donors on the Global Day of Philanthropy. An anonymous donor pledged to match Giving Tuesday donations up to $20,000, making it by far the largest year yet for UPEI. 

The donations will be dedicated to the University鈥檚 $15-million Robertson Library Revitalization campaign.

大发快三彩票nursing students holding book drive for PEI Provincial Addiction Treatment Centre

The 大发快三彩票Nursing Student Society is holding a holiday book drive to collect reading material, puzzles, and board games for clients of the PEI Provincial Addiction Treatment Centre (PATF).

The idea arose from accelerated nursing student Marie Thibault-Messier鈥檚 experience during a six-week clinical placement at the PATF earlier this semester. During her time at the centre, she noticed that clients had access to movies on DVD and VHS tapes but not a lot of reading material.
