The week of October 24–30 is another busy one for the UPEI Panthers as they take on opponents at home and away.  

Wednesday, October 26:

5:00 pm: The UPEI Women’s Soccer Panthers (1-7-2) will play a final home game against the Mount Allison Mounties (0-10-0). It is also "Kick for the Cure" Night as well as Senior Night for both women's and men's soccer games (graduating players will be recognized).

The first-ever interprofessional simulation lab, involving UPEI nursing students and Holland College paramedicine students, took place on September 23, 2022, at the UPEI Faculty of Nursing in the Health Sciences Building.

Fourth-year Nursing 4010 Population Health students and second-year Holland College Advanced Care Paramedicine students, as well as faculty and staff, came together for the day to engage in interprofessional simulated learning with the overall goal of increasing understanding and awareness about the scope, roles, and responsibilities of each profession.

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for October 17–23 are Emily Duffy (women’s rugby) and Kyle Maksimovich (men’s hockey). Both athletes were also named Subway Atlantic University Sport women’s and men’s Athletes of the Week.

For the first time in program history, the St. FX X-Women will not be playing in the AUS Rugby Final, and they have the UPEI Panthers to thank for that. 

The Panthers denied the X-Women's opportunity to extend their winning streak Thursday, October 20, in a hard-fought 14-12 win. In the process, UPEI clinched their first finals berth since 2006 and will face the Acadia Axewomen on Wednesday, October 26, in Wolfville at 6 pm for the conference title. The Panthers also secured a spot at the U SPORTS Women's Rugby Championship hosted by the University of Victoria.

UPEI’s Chief Information Officer Dana Sanderson updated the University community on the UPEI Network Modernization Project in messages to students, faculty, and staff this October, which is Cybersecurity Month.

The project, which began in September 2019, stemmed from an increasing demand on the University’s network combined with increasing complexity and cybersecurity requirements in the areas of teaching, research, and operations.
