AVC cardiologist invested as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology
The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the 17³Ô¹Ï is pleased to congratulate Dr. Étienne Côté on being invested as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
Traditionally, fellowship has been reserved for human-medicine physicians, but in 2019 the designation was expanded to recognize distinguished leaders in the cardiovascular community in non-physician professions. Côté is the first ACC Fellow at AVC and one of only five veterinarians in the world who have been elected as an ACC Fellow.

Message from the President: Faculty installs tipi on the 17³Ô¹Ï campus
The following message was distributed on behalf of the Office of the President to students, staff, and faculty via their @upei.ca emails.
Dear Members of the University Community,
"I decided that if I was going to get my degree, now was the time."
What brought you to 17³Ô¹Ï? In other words, why did you choose to study here?
In the winter of 2018, I attended a Bachelor of Integrated Studies information session presented by Inge Dorsey (Bachelor of Integrated Studies program co-ordinator) to PEI public sector employees. I had always regretted not getting a degree. Within the public sector, I need a degree if I want to be considered for certain positions and advance my career. Having just turned 50, I decided that if I was going to get my degree, now was the time.
