Panthers for Change unites new students, community members, and good causes
New UPEI students will be in close contact with the Charlottetown community on Saturday, September 14, as UPEI New Student Orientation (NSO) holds its annual Panthers for Change event.
The fundraiser usually happens after the first week of class, but the event was pushed out one week due to Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the province.
NSO coordinator Erin MacNeill said Panthers for Change is a special opportunity for incoming UPEI students to get to know the causes that matter to PEI while connecting with the community.
