As the UPEI Panthers Men’s Basketball team gears up for another exciting season, their goal is to make it to the finals, and there’s more than enough talent on the roster to usher in a new era of success.

With the departure of point guard Elijah Miller, the reigning Atlantic University Sport (AUS) MVP and two-time all-Canadian, the reins have now been handed to fourth-year guard Kamari Scott, who has been with the team the longest and is prepared to lead them forward.

The UPEI Department of Music will present the Maritime Brass Quintet on Thursday, November 2, at 7:30 pm, at UPEI’s new Performing Arts Centre.

This performance will feature music spanning five centuries, including airs and dances by Renaissance composer Anthony Holborne, Victor Ewald’s Brass Quintet No. 1, an arrangement of Gustav Holst’s Second Suite in F (originally for wind ensemble), Canadian composer Morley Calvert’s Three Dance Impressions, Björk’s Overture from “Dancer in the Dark” and more.

The following message was also distributed by email to faculty and staff on behalf of the Office of the President on October 27, 2023. 

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am writing to inform you that, effective October 31, 2023, Jackie Podger, the former Vice-President Administration and Finance, will no longer be an employee of UPEI.

Ms. Podger has been on administrative leave since June. Given that this is a human resources matter, we are not permitted to share details about her departure.

Regards,

Greg
