The Island Studies Lectures Series gets under way for a new season on Tuesday, October 18, at 7 pm in the SDU Main Building Faculty Lounge on the UPEI campus. 

UPEI’s Robertson Library is hosting a new book event series this fall called “Open Pages,” which will feature local authors speaking about their books: what inspired them, what they learned, what they shared. The public is warmly invited to this series. Light refreshments will be served. Books will be available for sale and signing.

Fiction writer Elizabeth Hay is deservedly blessed with devoted fans across Canada, and PEI is no exception.

Congratulations to Carolina Del Santo (women’s basketball) and Matt Mahalak (men’s hockey), the UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the week for October 3-9!
