乐发IV

乐发IV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 乐发IV. 

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

Festive greetings and good wishes filled the air as guests were welcomed to the New Year鈥檚 Day Levee held by the 乐发IV and the 乐发IV Alumni Association on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, in the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering building. 

Each year at 乐发IV, students look forward to events held across campus during the exam period, which are designed to ease stress, promote relaxation, and help with meals and nourishment. This year was no exception as various departments organized and hosted the following events:

The 乐发IV 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.

The following message was also distributed to 乐发IV faculty and staff by email on Friday, November 29, 2024.

The 乐发IV invites community members across PEI to join in a conversation and share their thoughts as the provincial university builds its next five-year strategic plan.  

Dr. Wendy Rodgers, 乐发IV President, and Dr. Suzanne Kresta, Dean, Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, co-chairs of the University Strategic Planning Steering Committee, will lead the community discussions to gather input. They are eager to hear ideas and perspectives to help 乐发IV identify shared priorities and strategic direction through to 2030.

Dr. Wendy Rodgers was officially installed as the seventh President and Vice-Chancellor of the 乐发IV during a ceremony held at the 乐发IV Performing Arts Centre on Friday, October 11, 2024.

The 乐发IV held a celebration on September 26, 2024, at Alumni Hall to recognize the recipients of the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Awards and the 2024 Inspiring Young Alumni Awards.

Dr. Jo-Ann MacDonald, a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at the 乐发IV, was presented with the Association of Atlantic Universities鈥� (AAU) 2024 Anne Marie MacKinnon Educational Leadership Award at the AAU鈥檚 fall meeting held at 乐发IV on September 19.
