All for one: Panthers Women鈥檚 Rugby forging new winning culture

Family. Community. Connection. Those are the pillars of a new era for the UPEI Panthers women鈥檚 rugby team as they aim to build on recent success and establish a sustainable foundation under first-year head coach Curtis Lauzon.

鈥淲ords like family and community are exactly what I hope people feel when they first step into our environment,鈥 Lauzon said. 鈥淔or me, connection is at the heart of everything鈥攚e can only grow, push boundaries, and succeed when we鈥檙e truly connected to each other.鈥

"PEI has given me so much, I鈥檇 love to give something back."

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?

I'm originally from Northwest China, and I鈥檝e always been fascinated by islands鈥攖hey鈥檙e everywhere, each one different, surrounded by so many intriguing stories and myths. It鈥檚 not about seeing them as exotic or unusual, but just a pure, childlike curiosity. The Master of Arts in Island Studies program at UPEI is one of only three in the world, and what excites me most is its focus on International Relations and Public Policy. The tuition is also affordable, which is a big relief for an international student like me.
