The 2024 winners of the prestigious Frank H Sobey Awards were recently announced, and for the first time in the award’s history, Acadia has emerged with two recipients: Alex Dulay and Cole Sanford.

Acadia's Dr. Mark Mallory, Canada Research Chair in Coastal Ecosystem Connectivity and Resilience and director of the Mallory Lab, was inducted as a Fellow into the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS), along with his wife, Carolyn Mallory, a gifted writer and artist.

Acadia women’s volleyball head coach Michelle Wood has been named the Marilyn Pomfret Award recipient for 2024 as the U SPORTS women’s volleyball coach of the year.

Announced on Wednesday night as part of the U SPORTS women’s volleyball championship awards ceremony, Wood became only the third AUS coach to receive the award.

Last week, the Axewomen defeated the Huskies 3-0 and came away with their first AUS championship banner, much to the delight of the screaming fans. "This amazing group of student-athletes was able to accomplish our first AUS volleyball championship title and raise the standard for Acadia women’s volleyball," said Coach Michelle Wood.
