ASU President Sadie McAlear ('24) smiles in front of Wheelock Dining Hall

In an inspiring display of student leadership and commitment to the future of Acadia University, the Acadia Students' Union (ASU) has made a $2 million gift to the Build: The Student Centre campaign.

If you were to combine talent, humility, intelligence, and grace in one person and say that individual was the epitome of what makes Acadia great, you would have Spencer Richard. A 4.0 GPA student, student-athlete and captain of the Acadia football Axemen, Academic All-Canadian, Sensory Motor Instructional Leadership Experience (S.M.I.L.E.) program leader, mentor and role model, Spencer has made the most of his time at Acadia. The Acadia Alumni Association takes tremendous pride in his many accomplishments, and is delighted to acknowledge him as the 2024 recipient of The Athenaeum and Acadia Alumni Student of the Year Award.

Dr. Caroline Cochran has a passion for pedagogy and numbers. She loves to teach, and it all adds up to student success. Her energy, enthusiasm and commitment to mathematics and learning are infinite, and why she is the recipient of this year’s Acadia Alumni Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Acadia University has received a transformative $1 million gift from the Acadia Alumni Association that will propel the Build: The Student Centre campaign closer to its $24 million fundraising goal.

In a heartwarming display of the spirit of giving, a significant announcement was made at the Acadia Alumni Holiday Reception in Halifax, N.S. Distinguished alum Janice MacNeill ('76) has generously donated an extraordinary $1 million gift.
