Black History Month in UPEI

Black History Month is a time to recognize, celebrate, and reflect on the histories, cultures, and contributions of Black communities past and present. Across campus this month, students, staff, and faculty come together through a series of events that highlight Black excellence, culture, and community. From moments of reflection to shared meals and professional conversations, these events create spaces for learning, connection, and celebration during Black History Month at UPEI. Here are some of the events from the first week of BHM.
