Acadia University marked its 185th birthday in fine style on November 15, 2023. A wonderfully diverse cross-section of faculty, staff, students, alumni, local and federal politicians, and members of the Wolfville community came together for Founders’ Day on Wednesday in the Sheldon L. Fountain Learning Commons to celebrate the University’s history and look forward with optimism and anticipation to a bright future.
Winners have been announced in the 11th Annual Education Digital Marketing Awards competition, and Acadia’s Office of Advancement has earned top honours in several categories.
There was plenty of great conversation and reminiscing on November 1, 2023 in Vancouver, British Columbia when Acadia alumni gathered at the Terminal City Club to meet University President Dr. Jeff Hennessy (’99) and learn about his vision for Acadia.
A lively and engaged group of Acadia alumni turned out in full force on Monday, October 30, 2023 to the Glencoe Club in Calgary, AB to meet University President Dr. Jeff Hennessy (’99). More than 50 alumni filled the room as Dr. Hennessy shared his thoughts on returning to Acadia as President and his vision for the University in the future.
Plenty of happy faces greeted Executive Director, Alumni Affairs Oonagh Proudfoot (‘93, ’06) and Executive Director, Development Vicki MacCrimmon at the charming Flavor on the Water in Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia on October 25, 2023.
What a thrill to welcome hundreds of Acadia alumni back to Wolfville for Homecoming 2023! Temperatures were cool but seasonal, and the rain that was forecast for Saturday and Sunday held off long enough for returning alumni to enjoy a full slate of events in literally every corner of the Acadia campus.
