"Living and studying on PEI has created great practicum opportunities!"

What brought you to ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú? Why did you choose to study here?

I'm from Fort St. James, a small northern community in British Columbia and I chose ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú’s Bachelor of Education (BEd) program because the application process considered my previous experience in instructional settings, experience with children and youth, academic achievements, and other extended training. 

ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú Panthers land former York Lion defender David D’Agostino for 2023–24 season

The ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú Men’s Hockey Panthers have secured a commitment from veteran defender David D’Agostino for the 2023–24 season.

D’Agostino spent the past four years with the York Lions and gives the Panthers another experienced option on the back end. The 25-year-old from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, recorded six goals and 16 assists in 66 games with the club.

Standing at five-foot-ten, D’Agostino isn’t the biggest defender in the league, but he makes up for it with his skating ability and offensive upside.
