Institute of Island Studies 40 Year Celebration

Founded in 1985, the Institute of Island Studies (IIS) is celebrating 40 years as a research and public policy institute based at the University of Prince Edward Island. IIS focuses on the culture, environment, and economy of small islands around the world, with an emphasis on Prince Edward Island. Celebrate this milestone birthday on June 14 at UPEI from 4–8 pm. The event is free and open to all.

The celebration begins at 4 pm in the Steele Recital Hall, where speakers will highlight the origin of the institute, its early years, and impact on the Island, while looking ahead to the future. The event will then move to the Faculty Lounge, Main Building 201, for refreshments and cake. 

There will be plenty of time for guests to socialize with old and new friends and to share their love for the institute and all things island.
