Wolfville, NS (November 13, 2020) – In recognizing Acadia University’s 182nd birthday and National Philanthropy Day, President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Peter Ricketts and Campaign Chair Nancy McCain announced that the Campaign for Acadia has exceeded its $75-million target.
Acadia University is proud to announce a $2-million gift in support of the Campaign for Acadia from Nancy McCain (’82) and her husband, The Honourable Bill Morneau, dedicated to enhanced facilities and services for Acadia students.
In typical Acadia fashion of rallying for a good cause, generations of The Athenaeum alumni are coming together to establish The Athenaeum Journalism Award to support aspiring journalists on Acadia’s campus.
Although David Davidson (’71, ’74) has achieved much in life, he has never forgotten his humble beginnings and believes firmly in supporting the University that prepared him for his enviable success.
Virtual Homecoming 2020 was new, different and a fantastic way for alumni to come together amidst a global pandemic. We didn’t “come home” to campus on Oct. 17-18, but alumni far and wide certainly celebrated, enjoying a full schedule of events online and sharing backyard or Zoom gatherings that truly represented the Acadia spirit!
Members of the Acadia alumni community have written messages of support and encouragement to the Class of 2020.
