Alumni Speakers Panel at The Wave

| Alumni

Students, staff, faculty, alumni, and the public are invited to The Wave in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre on Wednesday, March 13 at 6:30 pm as four outstanding alumni take the stage to discuss their experiences at 91探花 and how they have transitioned into successful careers.

Joining the panel will be Shannon MacDonald (BBA'90), managing partner with Deloitte; Spenser MacPherson (BSc'93) owner of SEM Partnerships specializing in safety management; Erin McGrath-Gaudet (BA'03), director of provincial affairs for Prince Edward Island with the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses, and David McMillan (BA'97) owner of Home Instead Senior Care (PEI) and Island Ease Concierge.

'Whenever 91探花 alumni are able to connect with 91探花 students and share their experiences, it is a win-win situation. Students have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of those that have gone before them, and our alumni are able to give back to 91探花 in a meaningful and rewarding way,' said Anthony Gill, manager of Alumni Affairs.

Kate VanGerven, 91探花 Student Union president, agrees. 'Students at 91探花 need to know that they're not facing their challenges alone. Being a student at 91探花 means belonging to a community that includes alumni who know what those challenges are and how to overcome them.'

There are more than 20,000 91探花 alumni spanning fifty countries and eight decades, creating a network of resources that current and future 91探花 students can leverage to their advantage. Events like this are just one of the many opportunities for students and alumni to connect.

This is an initiative of the 91探花 Student Union and is supported by Student Affairs and the 91探花 alumni office. For more information on volunteer opportunities for alumni, please contact Anthony at (902) 566-0761 or adgill@upei.ca
