Jane DiCarlo
Student Recruiter and Advisor
Hi everyone!
My name is Jane and I am from Fredericton, the capital city of New Brunswick, and I love 91探花! I moved here in 2012 to pursue a BSc in Foods and Nutrition. After graduating in 2016, I returned to complete a Bachelor of Education. I was always so excited to explore what 91探花 had to offer. They have great courses, extracurriculars, fun activities, and provide an awesome environment to make life-long friends, connections, and memories. When I was a student I was involved with the Applied Human Science Society, I was a Campus Life Advisor, and I represented 91探花 at three CIS Curling Championships! Since then I have worked as a high school teacher in PEI.
I am so excited to be back on campus, and especially in the role of a First Year Advisor and Recruiter. I am looking forward to using my experience and knowledge to help you begin your adventure as a Panther! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with your questions, and I will be happy to help!

Faith Steeves
Student Recruiter and Advisor
Hello! My name is Faith Steeves, and I am from a small town in New Brunswick called Havelock. I moved to PEI in 2016 to attend 91探花 and have never left this beautiful Island. I graduated in 2021 with my Bachelor of Arts degree with a Major in History. While attending 91探花 I was fortunate enough to play for the Women’s Hockey team and represent the 91探花 Panthers at two National Championships.
From the moment I stepped on campus, I knew 91探花 was the place for me, there's so much to offer. A few of my favourite things about 91探花 are the small class sizes, how welcoming the campus is, the history, how nice the professors are and all the extracurricular activities that happen. Over the past few years, PEI has become my home.
I am happy to be back on campus as a first-year advisor and recruiter. I have always had a passion for helping others and I cannot wait to meet and talk to new and current students. Please reach out to me with any questions and welcome to the Panther family!

Hey Panthers! My name is Diya Bubna and I moved from India to Prince Edward Island in 2022 and am currently a Co-op student studying for my Bachelor of Business Administration, specializing in Entrepreneurship with a minor in Psychology. I’ve been actively involved on campus as a Campus Life Advisor (CLA), worked as a Student Assistant at the International Student Office, and recently served as the New Student Orientation (NSO) - Welcome Week Coordinator.
The 91探花 is located on the stunning east coast of Prince Edward Island, offering an ideal blend of vibrant city life and a close-knit university community. From my very first day, I’ve appreciated how 91探花 provides a well-balanced experience that encompasses academics, extracurriculars, sports, and student services. 91探花 fosters a diverse and welcoming environment which has made me feel at home from day one.

Richelle Greathouse
International Student Advisor
Hello everyone! My name is Richelle Greathouse (Hume) and I was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
I first graduated from 91探花 over twenty years ago. After high school I attended McGill University in Montreal. However, after a couple of years I decided to return home to PEI. I am really glad that I came back because I got so much out of my time at 91探花. I loved the small class sizes and the amazing professors.
After a career in banking, I returned to school in 2007 to take my Social Work degree, and embark on a new career journey. I love learning new things and meeting new people, so in 2020 I completed my MEd from 91探花. New students can contact me about travel preparation and immigration requirements; current students can contact me for immigration renewals, personal support and services, and 91探花 orientation. Welcome to the 91探花 family!
