The afternoon of June 22, 2023 was sunny and warm as members of the Acadia community gathered on the quad for the second annual Faculty and Staff Appreciation BBQ. The BBQ was immediately followed by the University’s General Assembly in the Sheldon L. Fountain Learning Commons to celebrate career milestones of 10, 25, and 35 years of service, along with those who retired this year. The Acadia Alumni Outstanding University Service Award was also awarded to one exemplary member of the Acadia community.

Charles Dewey graduated from Acadia University in 1957, but never had the chance to cross the stage to accept his degree. He had to leave town for work instead, but the ambition to share in the atmosphere of an Acadia graduation ceremony never really went away. On Sunday, May 14, 2023, 66 years after receiving his degree, 89-year-old Charles Dewey finally crossed the stage during a Convocation ceremony at Acadia.
Many professors understand that success is deeply personal and work hard to tailor each student’s academic experience to ensure superb personal and professional achievement.
