The Aboriginal peoples of Prince Edward Island were honoured today for their collective contributions to the University of Prince Edward Island at the seventeenth annual Recognition of Founders Ceremony. The ceremony is an occasion to honour the many contributions, commitments, and sacrifices that have brought higher education in PEI to where it is today. A goal is to introduce students to UPEI's history and instill in them the belief that they are now a part of it.

It’s a busy couple of days for the Panthers at home for the weekend of October 28-30. UPEI will see action in soccer, hockey, and the Atlantic University Field Hockey Championships.

Teams from UPEI’s School of Business won first and third place at the Atlantic Schools of Business (ASB) Case Competition.

Fourth-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing student Micayla Darrach received the Canadian Red Cross’ young humanitarian of the year for PEI award on October 19.  

The Open Pages series at UPEI’s Robertson Library welcomes John Cousins to discuss his book New London: The Lost Dream.
