Acadia University - All Campus Briefs

It's time to submit your textbook orders for the upcoming fall and winter terms! We want to get as many used copies as we can and the best way to do that is to order early.

Please email bookstore@acadiau.ca with any questions.

Pride month is a time of celebration, human connection, and remembrance of queer voices that continue to fight for justice and equality. It is also a time to act.

It's important that we help to amplify the many efforts of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and organizations locally and regionally.

The Registrar's Office has incorporated the collective feedback and experiences of Acadia students, faculty, and staff and adjusted the 2024 Fall course registration dates to the end of May. This registration period previously took place in late March.

Dear students, faculty, and staff,

We invite all students, faculty, and staff to join us today, September 20, for a student-led countermarch promoting inclusivity, unity, and social justice on our campus. Organized by Acadia Pride and supported by the Acadia Students' Union, this march reflects our commitment to inclusion and equity.

This event is in response to groups nationwide, including here in Nova Scotia, advocating for harmful legislation targeting Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender diverse youth and students in schools. Participating in this event can show your support for a more inclusive and accepting community.

If you can, please join the student-led march today!

Details

Meet at the Michener Lounge in the Students’ Union Students Centre (SUB) at 11:45 a.m. We will gather there before embarking on our march against hate and bigotry.

Due to the distressing nature of the need for these marches, please take care of yourself and your community. Reach out to Acadia’s Counselling Services or the Human Rights and Equity Office if you have questions or want a safe space to talk.

Acadia University stands in solidarity with our colleagues at the University of Waterloo and condemns gender-based violence and all other forms of hatred and bigotry.
