Super Summer Reunion!


Acadia University welcomed back the Classes of 1941, 1946, 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966 and 1976 during Summer Reunion July 8-10 on the Wolfville campus. A total of 152 attendees enjoyed plenty of reminiscing, laughter and fun while engaging in a very full schedule that included a Meet and Greet in the Sheldon L. Fountain Learning Commons Friday evening; Class meetings, a 50th Anniversary Pinning Ceremony for the Class of ’66, then a Q & A session with Chancellor Libby Burnham (’60) and President Ray Ivany on Saturday; a special concert in the Garden Room at the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre featuring David Parker ('84) and Jennifer King ('91); the Alumni Banquet Saturday night; Memorial Service Sunday morning, followed by a farewell luncheon in the Students’ Union Building. The Class of 1956 captured the Reunion Cup for having the highest percentage of people in attendance and Dr. Bob Sutherland (’61) of California earned the award for coming from farthest away. The Class of 1941 was represented by Helena (Martin) Vaughan and Shirley (Lavers) Johnson, and Jean Caldwell represented the Class of ’46. Halifax lawyer Joel Pink (’66) was guest speaker at the Banquet. For more, please visit our photo gallery.
