It was just like old times at Acadia University during Homecoming Weekend 2022. Skies were overcast, but the rain held off and the enthusiasm of alumni returning with fewer pandemic restrictions lent an upbeat and festive mood that was everywhere on campus.

Alumni raised their glasses to Acadia at an intimate gathering in the Pimlico Room at The Orange in Belgravia, London, on Sept. 22, 2022 as they heard updates from University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Peter Ricketts and Vice-President, Advancement (Interim) Nancy Handrigan (’92).

There was much to enjoy and plenty to appreciate on July 29, 2022 at the 40th Acadia Alumni Golf Tournament at KenWo Golf Club in New Minas, Nova Scotia, located in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. Participants were pumped and the mood was upbeat as 25 teams and more than 120 golfers took to the course to celebrate our alumni community and provide financial support to incoming Acadia students.

Acadia University and the Acadia Alumni Association partnered on June 23, 2022 to celebrate faculty, staff and alumni.

Nearly 60 years after graduating from Acadia University, Dr. Paul Corkum (’65, ’06 HON) has joined a distinguished group of 11 individuals who have been awarded a 2022 Wolf Prize. Dr. Corkum and his research partners, Dr. Ferenc Krausz of Germany and Dr. Anne L’Huillier of Sweden, were named this year’s Wolf Prize Laureates in Physics for pioneering contributions to ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics.

The Acadia Alumni Association is pleased to announce that the Administrative Coordinator for Acadia's School of Kinesiology and Centre of Lifestyle Studies, Kim Vaughan, is the 2022 Acadia Alumni Association Outstanding University Service Award recipient.
