Dr. Karem Simon, professor of music at ºÚÁϳԹÏ, has been invited to serve as guest conductor of the Prince Edward Island Symphony Orchestra in its Goodnight Moon program on Sunday, March 5, 2023, at 2:30 pm, in the Sobey Family Theatre, Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Among the distinctions of Dr. Simon’s career has been his work conducting the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Wind Symphony, which, under his direction, has produced 22 albums and has been acclaimed for its innovative programming and performance standard.

After last season’s strong showing at the AUS Championships, the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Panthers track and field team hopes to build off that success in 2023.

The Panthers earned five medals in 2022, which was a program best. While only one of those medalists is set to compete this weekend at the championship meet in Saint John, New Brunswick, there is still plenty of optimism surrounding the team and what they can accomplish.

Third-year sprinter Zach Wilson finished with a 60-metre bronze medal in 2022 and headlines a group of runners vying for the podium.

As a follow up to the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Community Bulletin issued last week, the University and ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Faculty Association (ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï FA) will resume meeting for direct collective bargaining on Thursday, February 23, 2023. In addition to February 23, meetings are scheduled for February 24, 27, and 28.

ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï remains committed to achieving a fair and reasonable agreement with the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï FA that is in the best interests of our students and University community.

In a recent message to the campus community, Dr. Greg Naterer, ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Vice-President Academic and Research announced that Dr. Christina Murray, associate professor of nursing, has been appointed dean of the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Faculty of Nursing for a five-year term effective March 1, 2023.
