A full complement was on hand and the mood was upbeat and celebratory July 28, 2023 at the 41st ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï 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.

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alumni returned to campus June 23-25, 2023 for an All-’50s Reunion Weekend that was jam-packed with activities, information and fun!

For nearly 20 years, Janet Kirkconnell (’56, ’58) has been a quiet and loyal volunteer for the Sunday Music in the Garden Room concert series hosted in the K. C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Garden Room. Her unselfish and persistent dedication to the concert series over the past two decades has enhanced its public profile and ensured its longevity, and is one of the reasons why she is the 2023 recipient of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Isaac Chipman Award for Excellence in Alumni Service.

Humble, fierce, intelligent, and dedicated. Just a few words that describe ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alum Melanie Jackson (’99, ’01), this year’s recipient of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Outstanding University Service Award.

The afternoon of June 22, 2023 was sunny and warm as members of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community gathered on the quad for the second annual Faculty and Staff Appreciation BBQ. The BBQ was immediately followed by the University’s General Assembly in the Sheldon L. Fountain Learning Commons to celebrate career milestones of 10, 25, and 35 years of service, along with those who retired this year. The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Outstanding University Service Award was also awarded to one exemplary member of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community.

Olivia Stevenson is the 2023 recipient of The Athenaeum and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Student of the Year Award. Stevenson entered the kinesiology program at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï with a desire to build on a very successful high school experience and expand her horizons. Highly motivated, energetic and intelligent, she wanted to immerse herself in campus life, connect with people and satisfy an overriding ambition to serve others. Fast forward to 2023 and she has fulfilled those ambitions beyond all measure, engaging people with her powerful vision and providing spaces for others so they can be their very best.
