Faculty and Staff: You’re Invited to Convocation 2025!
The following message was also emailed to UPEI faculty and staff on April 15, 2025.
Convocation is almost here! UPEI employees and faculty are invited to attend the Convocation exercises being held from May 13 to 16, at 10:00 am each day at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre. Each ceremony is preceded by a procession of graduates across campus.
May 13—Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Nursing
May 14—Faculty of Business and Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering
May 15—Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, and Faculty of Graduate Studies
May 16—Faculty of Science
Although the format of four ceremonies allows more flexibility in terms of seating, guests are asked to present invitations to be admitted to the Sports Centre. Staff/faculty members can reserve a spot by contacting Christine Greening at cgreening@upei.ca. Those who RSVP will be advised when invitations are available to be picked up. Guests must present their invitations to be admitted to the Sports Centre. Each ceremony will also be available to watch via livestream at upei.ca/live.
For Faculty Members
Faculty members who have regalia and wish to participate in the Academic Procession are asked to line up with the graduates in the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering building concourse 45 minutes before each ceremony.
