The UPEI Panthers are gearing up for a week of competition at home and away.

UPEI and the Atlantic Veterinary College held an event on September 28 to announce and celebrate the establishment of the Dr. Etienne Côté Endowed Chair in Veterinary Cardiology, which was made possible through a generous gift from Sandra Irving, Sarah Irving, the Arthur and Sandra Irving Foundation, and the Arthur L. Irving Family Foundation. 

Rachel Richards, a standout defender for the UPEI Women’s Hockey Panthers, has been selected as one of 22 student-athletes nationwide for the 2026–27 cohort of the Hockey Canada Creating Coaches Program.

A team of UPEI engineering students has developed an innovative device called LimbRise that could transform recovery for people with knee injuries. They recently won the Enactus Canada Early-Stage Summer Sprint National Final, earning the opportunity to compete internationally at the 2026 Enactus World Cup. 

While UPEI will be closed on September 30 as it is a statutory holiday, we will mark the NDTR with some focused events and observances on campus from September 24–September 30. 

Thanks to a generous $75,000 gift from the Faye and David Huestis Family Foundation, the Susan (Knickle) Deighan Memorial Leadership Award has been established to celebrate and support members of the UPEI Women’s Basketball program.|
 

The first meeting of the UPEI Philosophy Reading Group for the 2026–2027 academic year will take place on Wednesday, September 23, at 7 pm in the Lady Slipper Room, Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, 97 Queen Street, Charlottetown.

UPEI alumni and the campus community kicked off UPEI Homecoming Week on September 18, with activities continuing through to September 29! It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy a fun and engaging line-up of events.

The UPEI Panther Ladner's Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for September 14–20 are Stefania Angona (women’s cross country) and Joel Gallant (men’s cross country).

Dr. Josh MacFadyen, Canada Research Chair in Geospatial Humanities at UPEI, has launched a three-part series titled “PEI & The Spirit of ’76”(part one) to mark the 50th anniversary of PEI's foray into renewable energy and resource self-sufficiency in 1976.
