Research Nova Scotia has announced that seven outstanding graduate students at Acadia University have won the 2023-2024 Scotia Scholars Awards for their innovative health research projects.  

 

Acadia University’s Board of Governors today is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Jeffrey J. Hennessy as the University’s 17th President and Vice-Chancellor.

Three Indigenous and three African Canadian scholars are joining the faculty of Acadia University. The new hires are in recognition of the systemic underrepresentation of Indigenous and Black faculty at Acadia.  

The Board of Governors at Acadia University has chosen Ray Ivany, a former president of the institution, to serve as the Interim President and Vice-Chancellor, effective July 1, 2023. This decision comes after Dr. Peter Ricketts, the current president, announced his departure last summer and concludes his six-year term on June 30, 2023.
