Here is a look at the UPEI Panthers schedule for the week of October 31–November 6.

Wednesday, November 2:

9:00 pm (AST)/5:00 pm (PST): The UPEI Women’s Rugby Panthers will play the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the U SPORTS quarter-final at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. If they win this game, the Panthers will play for a national medal. The game will be available to watch on CBC Gem. 

Friday, November 4:

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 24–30 are Katie Richard (women’s cross country) and Kamari Scott (men’s basketball).

Richard, a second-year kinesiology student from Charlottetown, finished eighth overall at the AUS Cross Country Championship on Saturday, October 29. She finished the 8km race with a time of 31:10 and was named a second team all-star. The event was hosted by UPEI at Fox Meadow Golf Course.

The UPEI Department of Music will present a faculty recital, Autumn Colours, on Saturday, November 12, 2022, at 7:30 pm, in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall, Steel Building.

The recital was originally planned for October 1 but was postponed because of the impact of post-tropical storm Fiona.

String players Jeffrey Bazett-Jones (viola), Sean Kemp (violin), and Natalie Williams Calhoun (cello) will collaborate with Magdalena von Eccher (piano) and Karem Simon (clarinet) in presenting this chamber music recital of trios by Mozart, Stravinsky, and Brahms.

A memorial service in honour of F. Alan Reesor, faculty member in the UPEI Department of Music from 1970–1997, will be held at St. Peter's Cathedral on Rochford Street in Charlottetown, on Sunday, November 13, 2022, at 2:30 pm. Alan forged an international reputation as an organist, choral director, and musicologist and was awarded the title of professor emeritus at UPEI in 1998.

While much has changed regarding roster construction, the UPEI Women’s Basketball Panthers want to prove that they can still be among the AUS elite in 2022–23.

The Panthers lost graduates Jenna Mae Ellsworth, Reese Baxendale, and Carolina Del Santo, who all contributed significantly to the program. Now it’s up to the next wave of Panthers, like Lauren Rainford and Alicia Bowering, to leave their own mark.

Head coach Matt Gamblin believes the current group learned a lot from those former players and their shared experiences.

The UPEI Recruitment and First Year Advisement team is hosting a Fall Open House on Friday, November 4, 2022, from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. High school students interested in pursuing studies at UPEI are invited to attend.

The event kicks off in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre where students will receive booklets with an itinerary for the morning. Students are then invited to attend an information session for the faculty of their choice. There will also be information sessions about programs and services available to students as well as campus and residence tours.

A well-known Canadian and PEI entrepreneur with deep Island roots is the subject of Gary MacDougall's latest book, published by RetroMedia Publishing.

In Don McDougall | Business: Get it done, have some fun, the author chronicles the path that led a PEI boy and graduate of Saint Dunstan’s University to become the youngest president of Labatt’s Brewing; build and grow an aerospace company that had ties to the Canadarm; and bring the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club to Canada and F1 moto racing to Montreal.
