Dr. Kim A. Critchley
Dear Students,
Welcome to the University of Prince Edward Island, Cairo Campus! As the provost of UPEI Cairo, I am truly delighted to welcome each of you to our academic community for the 2023-2024 academic year. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or continuing your studies, this year presents an exciting opportunity to live, learn, and grow at a crucial stage in your life.
In my role as provost, I take great pride in our strong partnership between UPEI Cairo Campus and UPEI Canada. Together, we offer outstanding programs, including Business Administration, Computer Science, and Sustainable Design Engineering, allowing you to earn a fully accredited Canadian degree right here in Cairo. I assure you that the education you receive at UPEI Cairo mirrors the same high standards upheld in Canada. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to delivering a high-quality academic experience that addresses both local and global needs.
At UPEI Cairo Campus, I believe creating a welcoming, inclusive environment is an essential part of my responsibilities as provost. Our goal is to provide spaces where you feel supported and encouraged to excel in your academic, cultural, and social pursuits. I strongly encourage you to explore the wide range of opportunities and extracurricular activities available on campus. After all, university life extends beyond the classroom, and these activities are a fantastic way to have fun, develop new skills, and form friendships that will last a lifetime.
Leading this innovative institution as provost is truly an honor for me. Being part of UPEI Cairo’s journey as we build its history together is a privilege that I deeply cherish.
As we embark on this exciting academic year, I wish you all success and look forward to seeing you around campus.
My warmest regards,
Kim A Critchley. PhD
