Meet The President
Dr. Wendy Rodgers
President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Prince Edward Island
Welcome to the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), where our campuses in Charlottetown and Cairo come together to provide an exciting and unified educational experience. As President and Vice-Chancellor, I am deeply committed to leading UPEI with a focus on excellence, inclusivity, and global impact.
A Unified Vision Across Campuses
At UPEI, students from around the world come together to experience an education that goes beyond the classroom. Whether you’re studying in Charlottetown or Cairo, I ensure that our students grow both academically and personally, guided by core values of diversity, inclusion, trust, and transparency.
Preparing Global Citizens
I believe in fostering a culture of care and belonging at UPEI, where every student feels supported and valued. My goal is to ensure that all our graduates leave with the skills and knowledge to make meaningful contributions wherever their careers and passions lead them.
Sustainability at Heart
From the coastal beauty of Prince Edward Island to the vibrant energy of Cairo, I am proud that UPEI addresses some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Environmental sustainability, climate change, and the well-being of humans and animals are central to our mission, uniting the diverse ecosystems of Canada and Egypt.
An Exceptional Learning Experience
At UPEI, we offer more than just education; we aim to develop ethical leaders and compassionate citizens of the world. I ensure that both the Charlottetown and Cairo campuses provide the same world-class curriculum and rich experiences, ensuring all students have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential.
Bridging Cultures
UPEI brings together Canada’s new-world innovation with Egypt’s rich cultural heritage, offering students a truly global perspective. The Cairo campus provides state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant community, complementing the historic charm of Charlottetown.
A Personal Message to Cairo Campus Students
To our students in Cairo: You are receiving the same world-class education and experience as your peers in Charlottetown. I look forward to celebrating your accomplishments at convocation, where your hard work and dedication will be recognized on the global stage.
