About This Opportunity

The Robert "Rocky" Paquet Memorial Award is granted to a returning student at the University of Prince Edward Island who has volunteered in the university or broader community and loves music and animals. Preference will be given to a student who demonstrates a history of enriching the UPEI campus through activities and volunteerism. This award commemorates Robert "Rocky" Paquet, who was a valued employee of UPEI for 26 years and had an immeasurable impact on students through his compassion, kindness, and dedication. Rocky was known for cooking hotdogs for students during his lunch, handing out popsicles, and preparing meals for nearly 700 students during exam week. He was voted UPEI Staff of the Year in 2014 and received the President's Recognition Award of Merit for Campus Spirit in 2013. Rocky had a love for music and animals, particularly his canine companions, and was known for his generous nature and ability to bring the campus community together.
