Every year in the winter semester, the UPEI Student Union holds a campus-wide election in search of students who are enthusiastic about making positive changes around their University. You might be wondering if you're the type of person who should run for council -- and that's ok! Councillors in the past have been outgoing; reserved; politically engaged; artistic; free-spirited; over-achiever; under-achiever; optimistic; pessimistic; and everything else under the sun. 

Nomination forms (10 signatures from students in your constituency ie. 10 Arts students for Arts Rep) are available at the front desk of the Student Union on Wednesday, January 23rd. 

Nominations CLOSE February 1st at 4:00 pm.

Class of 2012 Valedictorian (1 Morning & 1 Afternoon)

The ceremony itself is a masterpiece put together by staff and faculty members across campus and orchestrated (mostly) without issue. It's the fun stuff before and after that comes from us, the students. There's a budget and instructions to "have fun with it" from both the University and here at the Student Union - and we have some big ideas. In the past there have been barbecues, parent/teacher/student mixers at The Wave, a pubcrawl of course, grad packs with UPEI swag and discounts from around Charlottetown and as always, a gift to the University from your graduating class.  

From now until Convocation on May 12th, this will be the place to look for all information regarding GRAD WEEK. Fundraising and planning is now underway but there's still time to get in on the "behind-the-scenes" action. 

If you'd like to get involved with the GRAD WEEK Planning Committee, send a quick e-mail to vpactivities@upeisu.ca
