Meet Shayna Conway, Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate

Why did you choose the Nursing program at UPEI?

As a mature student who has lived away from Prince Edward Island, I wanted to be close to home for my education. The reputation of the UPEI nursing program made the decision a no-brainer!

What do you like most about the Nursing program?

Nursing students get the opportunity to know and to be known by their professors. That’s the greatest thing about the nursing program at UPEI: the amazing faculty members, clinical instructors, and the dean. They give so much support and dedication to each student and the program.

Panther women’s soccer recruits goalkeeper Veronica Kozak of Mississauga

Lewis Page, head coach of the UPEI women’s soccer team, has recruited goalkeeper Veronica Kozak of Mississauga, Ontario.

Kozak’s career between the posts began young. In her first year playing soccer, when she was just seven years old, she chose goalkeeper because she didn’t care for running.

“Eventually, I noticed I was actually enjoying it,” she said. “You get to make these crazy saves or as one of my coaches liked to describe it: ‘picture saves’.”

Kozak credits support from her parents early on for her development, including practice drills with her father.
