UPEI Statement on Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Veterinary College

The University of Prince Edward Island recognizes the importance of balancing freedom of expression and a supportive learning environment, and that learning can sometimes be uncomfortable.  

UPEI reaffirms its commitment to free expression, critical thinking, and public dialogue.

The University has reached out to Mr. Christopher Griffin, former Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Veterinary College, to offer him the opportunity to give a talk about his artwork and perspective and to show his series of paintings on campus.

Lunch and Learn: Arts-based Pedagogy

Art-Based Pedagogy has roots in both Education and Psychology. It can also be a very powerful tool for emotional debriefing to build resilience in undergraduate nursing students. Using Art-Based assignments can compliment traditional teaching methodologies in preparation for real-world holistic practice. Art can help students reconstruct knowledge - which can strengthen their experiences and creativity. Join us in viewing Art-Based projects from a Nursing Ethics course, linking their lived nursing experiences to ethical issues in everyday practice.
