What's happening at Acadia

New strategic plan positions Acadia for the 21st century

Acadia University unveiled its new strategic plan, Acadia 2025, during an online campus-wide presentation on Friday, November 27, 2020.

The plan, developed over two years through extensive cross-campus consultation, finetunes Acadia's vision, mission, and values and identifies five strategic directions to guide the University toward 2025. The overarching theme for the plan is "transforming lives for a transforming world."

Collaboration leads to testing wastewater for COVID-19

Acadia University, Dalhousie University and LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. have teamed up to determine the best way to test the wastewater coming from homes and businesses for traces of COVID-19. Wolfville’s municipal wastewater system is part of that research.

The researchers have detected COVID-19 in the town’s wastewater. This research is still experimental so can’t be considered definitive. But it could be a signal that COVID-19 is present in our community.

Campaign for Acadia Receives Outstanding Support from BMO Financial Group - $1.25M gift to aid students and programs at Acadia University

The relationship between Acadia University and BMO Financial Group dates back more than a century, and BMO has a long and distinguished history of philanthropic support for Acadia students -- generous scholarships for undergraduates, sponsorships for student-athletes, and contributions to enrich campus life are all part of BMO’s ongoing impact at Acadia.
