On the Data tab, Sort & Filter group, select Filter. Click the drop-down arrow on the right side of the first column of your data, uncheck Select All, and check Blanks.

If any numbers are still visible, go to the second column of your data and repeat the step above. Continue to repeat the steps for each column until no data appear. Select the filtered rows and go to the Home tab, Cells group, and select Delete. On the Data tab, Sort & Filter group, select Clear.

The new 69´«Ã½Alumni Association Panther for Life Spirit Award is given to a current 69´«Ã½student (of no particular standing), who exemplifies true Panther pride inside and outside of the classroom. This individual has contributed to the campus community in a meaningful way, whether it be through their volunteerism, participation in UPEI-related events and activities, support of Panther sport, or any other significant way, that makes them a strong ambassador for UPEI, both now and as a future Panther alumni.

The recipient will receive an engraved award and a $500 cash prize, and will be recognized during a celebratory student event.

Any student, staff, or faculty member may submit nominations for this award. Nominations must be received by February 28 at 4 pm to be considered for 2023.

To nominate a current student, please fill out the Panther for Life Spirit Award Nomination form here: /alumni/awards-and-recognition/panther-for-life-spirit-award
