"UPEI is a bustling community of scholarship and extraordinary teaching." Ryan Drew is an artist, researcher, UPEI alumnus, and sessional instructor in the Faculty of Arts.

On Friday, December 6, the Faculty of Arts hosted a Student Showcase, which saw thirteen groups of students present their work on a variety of topics.

One group of students shared their presentation on the formation of the University of Prince Edward Island. Sienna Beers, Jayce Clarkin, Andraya Gallant, and Lucy MacPhee spent a lot of time in the university archives and special collections undertaking research for this assignment, which was completed for Inge Dorsey’s UPEI 1030 course.
