ported the formation of Mapus, served on its executive and con- tinues to be involved in Mapus activities.
COPUS was formed in 1977 in response to the needs and concerns of part-time university students across Canada. It’s mandate (1989) now includes all post-secondary part-time stu- dents and it frequently represents the concerns of mature full-time post secondary students. Mapus is a full member of COPUS and was established in 1982 to ensure that mature full-time and part- time students are an intergral and acknowledged part of the UPEI community. At UPEI almost 40% of the student population is made up of mature full-time and part— time students. Conservative es- timates of university attendance across Canada indicate that cur- rently only half of the univer- sity student population is made up of students who enter imme- diately following high school in a full time basis.
