ÍøÆسԹÏ

Charles Dewey graduated from ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï in 1957, but never had the chance to cross the stage to accept his degree. He had to leave town for work instead, but the ambition to share in the atmosphere of an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï graduation ceremony never really went away. On Sunday, May 14, 2023, 66 years after receiving his degree, 89-year-old Charles Dewey finally crossed the stage during a Convocation ceremony at ÍøÆسԹÏ.

Many professors understand that success is deeply personal and work hard to tailor each student’s academic experience to ensure superb personal and professional achievement. ÍøÆسԹÏ’s Dr. Ryan MacNeil is no exception. His innovative teaching style and passion for his students is extraordinary, and why he is the 2023 recipient of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Association Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching.

ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï is pleased to welcome Vicki MacCrimmon as the new Executive Director, Development in the Office of Advancement.

Alumni excellence was on full display and a celebratory mood filled the room at Pier 21 in Halifax on April 20, 2023 when members of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community came together for this year’s Alumni Awards Dinner. More than 200 guests gathered to honour and applaud this year’s recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award, Dr. Susan Crouse (’85), and Outstanding Young Alumni Award, Ms. Shannon Boldon (’13).

A ton of fun was had at an alumni gathering in Fredericton, NB on Wednesday, April 12, 2023! Evelyn Fidler (’88, ’89) showed up in a vintage ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï jacket; Fumiya Kanai (’22) regaled us with his stories and energy; Sandy Liu (’02) offered up fashion advice; and Jacob Reicker (’19) and Lindsay Warner (’16) drove from Saint John to join in the festivities.

Executive Director, Alumni Affairs Oonagh Proudfoot (’93, ’06) welcomed an enthusiastic group of ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alumni to The Dock in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia on April 11, 2023.
