Each year UPEI is involved with hosting a Student Leadership Symposium for senior high school students from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI. The intent is recruitment and community realtionship development. This symposium celebrates youth leadership and emphasizes how students can learn to make a positive impact on important world issues. Participants are able to share their concerns and ideas in small-group sessions that explore a range of topical issues related to leadership, including social action, international outreach, and environmental stewardship.
