Panther for Life Spirit Award
From the moment a new student walks onto the UPEI campus they are a “Panther for Life,” and for this reason, the UPEI Alumni Association has adopted this phrase as part of its identity. The Association recognizes the importance of encouraging campus pride, and the impact that school spirit has within the university community. Because of this, this award was established in 2023 to acknowledge the contributions of an outstanding student in the campus community.
Awarded to a current UPEI student (of no particular standing), who exemplifies true Panther pride inside and outside of the classroom. This individual has contributed to the campus community in a meaningful way, whether it be through their volunteerism, participation in UPEI-related events and activities, support of panther sport, or any other significant way, that makes them a strong ambassador for UPEI, both now, and as a future Panther Alumni.
Nominations are accepted on an ongoing basis throughout the year; however, nominations must be received by the end of February each year to be considered for that year’s cycle. Any student, staff, or faculty member may submit nominations. Award nominee must be a current UPEI student.
To nominate a current student for this award, please fill out our Panther for Life Spirit Award Nomination form at the bottom of this page.
