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.
