Alumni and friends filled our campus October 17-20, bringing energy, enthusiasm and Acadia spirit to the University during Homecoming Weekend 2024. Temperatures were unseasonably warm and folks took full advantage, enjoying a busy slate of events.
Larger than life. Many are described that way, but few people can match the hype. Then there’s Bruce Phinney (’81). A dynamic personality, Bruce embodied the spirit and intention of Acadia University’s mandate and values. He was a fierce advocate for countless students, serving Acadia administration, alumni, faculty and staff with verve, intelligence, and insight. Acadia was his heart and soul, and why the Acadia Alumni Association is proud to announce that he is the 2024 recipient of the Isaac Chipman Award for Excellence in Alumni Service.
A rainy night did little to dampen the enthusiasm of a joyful group of Acadia alumni who came together on October 9, 2024 at Ascots Restaurant in Pembroke, Bermuda.
Acadia alumni enjoyed a lively evening and a great view of Boston from the 25th floor of the offices of Foley and Lardner, LLP at an Atlantic University Alumni Event on September 18, 2024, hosted by the Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Consul General of Canada to New England.
Acadia University welcomed new and returning students back to campus recently during Move-In Day and Orientation Week. Alumni Relations staff and members of the Acadia Alumni Association were also on hand to meet students, parents and alumni, and to remind new students that they are not just joining a group of 3,600 people on campus, but a family of 36,000 strong.
An enthusiastic group of Acadia alumni braved the heat over the long weekend to support the Halifax Wanderers on August 5, 2024.
