There
      has
      been
      a
      little
      water
     
     
      under
      the
      bridge
      since
      I
      last
      roamed
     
     
      the
      campus
      in
      the
      seventies
      as
      an
     
     
      undergrad
      and
      it
      sure
      feels
      good
      to
      be
     
     
      returning
      home.
      Both
      the
      campus
      and
     
     
      I
      have
      experienced
      a
      similar
      metamor-
     
     
      phosis.
      The
      campus
      has
      expanded
     
     
      proportional
      to
      my
      waist
      size
      with
      the
     
     
      addition
      of
      the
      Wanda
      Wyatt
      Dining
     
     
      Hall,
      Young
      Sports
      Centre,
      the
      W
      A
     
     
      Murphy
      Student
      Centre,
      KC
      Irving
     
     
      Chemistry
      building,
      AVC
      and
      the
     
     
      Aquatic/Rink
      Complex.
      Similarly
      the
     
     
      loss
      of
      my
      hair
      and
      hip
      reflect
      the
      loss
     
     
      of
      two
      dear
      old
      friends,
      the
      Alumni
     
     
      Gym
      and
      The
      Barn.
      What
      great
      times
     
     
      and
      fond
      memories
      I
      have
      of
      those
     
     
      two
      gathering
      spots.
     
    

    
     
      In
      the
      seventies
      UPEI
      strug-
     
     
      gled
      with
      its
      identity
      as
      a
      new
      entity
     
     
      evolved
      from
      the
      proud
      and
      steep
      tra-
     
     
      ditions
      of

      UPEI
      takes
      its
      rightful
      place
      as
      a
     
     
      "Great
      Small
      University"
      attracting
     
     
      prestigious
      National
      Research
      Grants
     
     
      and
      gaining
      national
      recognition
      for
     
     
      its
      commitment
      to
      quality
      teaching.
     
     
      After
      27
      years
      of
      working
      in

      mentary
      to
      high
      school
      settings
      it's
      a
     
     
      privilege
      to
      have
      exposure
      to
      the

      and
      commitment
     
     
      to
      serving
      students
      is
      most
      impressive.
     
     
      As
      Counsellor
      in
      Student
      Services
      I
     
     
      am
      impressed
      with
      the
      quality
      and
     
     
      diversity
      of
      services
      available
      to

      As

      here
      "back

      I
      regret
      I
      did
      not
      take
      advantage
     
     
      of
      the
      valuable
      services
      available
      to
      all
     
     
      students.
