The Acadia Axemen Football Dinner and fundraiser on July 15 was a perfect way to set the table for the 2022 Touchdown Atlantic CFL football game the following day in Wolfville.

Acadia University will soon be recruiting for the inaugural Jarislowsky Chair in Trust and Political Leadership – one of five prestigious academic appointments at universities across Canada to lead a first-of-its-kind collaboration focused on educating future leaders in government, politics and the public service.

Acadia University professor Dr. Catherine Morley has launched a website that highlights her current research into feeding a loved one who is sick. Once she discovered the powerful emotions associated with eating, feeding and illness, she had to learn more.

Diversity is a key to success in business and society. That’s what Acadia graduate Tim Formuziewich (’00) believes, and why he has established two new awards to alleviate financial stress for students who have been challenged by economic hardship.

The Church Brewing Company in Wolfville, Nova Scotia has partnered with Acadia University’s student newspaper, The Athenaeum, to support aspiring journalists by contributing to The Athenaeum Journalism Award.

Thanks to the generosity of the John and Judy Bragg Foundation, up to 13 Acadia students benefit annually from the following awards, named in honour of former teachers who were Acadia alumni:

Some of the most recent recipients of these awards spoke to Acadia about their lives as students and shared their gratitude:
