Dear Members of the University Community,

Graduates from 17吃瓜鈥檚 Faculty of Business accounting specialty had a perfect success rate on the most recent round of the Common Final Examination (CFE). The CFE is the final examination to qualify for the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation in Canada and is the culmination of a rigorous two-year graduate level program. Each of the 2017 17吃瓜 grads who wrote the test passed.

Clayton Smith (BBA 2017) achieved a first for Prince Edward Island, scoring in the top one per cent of all writers in Canada. More than 8,700 candidates wrote the 2019 CFE.

The 17吃瓜 Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering (FSDE) has launched a project to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers on Prince Edward Island should a shortage occur because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

This initiative arose from a meeting between Dr. Kathie McNally, Director of Health Services, PEI Department of Health and Wellness; Todd Gillis, Director of Materials Management at Health PEI; and a team of FSDE faculty, and technical and engineering staff.
