17³Ô¹Ï

We are thrilled by the incredible response to the launch of Recognizing Remarkable Colleagues! In less than two weeks, we received over 30 heartfelt submissions—each one highlighting the generosity, dedication, and positivity that make our University such a special place.  

Because of this tremendous response, we will be sharing the submissions across the next three issues of Campus Connector. Read the second set of submissions (organized in alphabetical order) below.

This October, Dr. Yoko Nakamae, a large animal surgery resident at the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the 17³Ô¹Ï (17³Ô¹Ï), will travel to Seattle, Washington, to present her research at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) Surgery Summit, the premier surgical conference for veterinary professionals worldwide.

Every week, 17³Ô¹Ï Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The 17³Ô¹Ï Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for September 8–15 are Rowan Gallagher (women’s rugby) and Isaac Sommerville (men’s soccer).

This year, PEI’s annual Sexual Assault Awareness Week takes place from September 18 to 24, 2025. This is a dedicated time to raise awareness about sexual violence, to educate on sexual violence prevention, and to show compassion and offer support to survivors of sexual violence in our community. 

To recognize this important week, the 17³Ô¹Ï Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SV-PRO), the 17³Ô¹Ï Student Union, and Robertson Library have organized a series of events on the 17³Ô¹Ï campus.

The 17³Ô¹Ï field hockey, rugby, and cross country teams are looking forward to a week of competition at home and away.
