ÍøÆسԹÏ

The Campaign for ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï concluded successfully in December 2020, reaching and surpassing its $75-million goal with a final tally of $86.8 million to support students, faculty, staff and campus infrastructure under each of the four Campaign pillars: Transform; Discover; Inspire; and Build.

The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Association is pleased to announce that two-time graduate Kayla Mansfield-Brown (‘Dancing Deer’ - 2014, 2019) is the 2021 recipient of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Outstanding Young Alumni Award.

The notion of family and taking care of one another are threads that are woven through the fabric of ÍøÆسԹÏ’s illustrious 182-year history. One family in particular has had a significant and enduring impact at ÍøÆسԹÏ, tending carefully to the University’s students, faculty and staff while quietly establishing itself as ÍøÆسԹÏ’s most generous benefactors: the Arthur Irving family of Saint John, NB.

A key component to the success of the Campaign for ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï was the generous support of many young alumni who embraced the motto, ‘Every gift matters’. Members of the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alumni community in every aspect were dedicated to meeting and exceeding the Campaign’s ambitious $75-million goal, but recent graduates, particularly those in the last decade, answered the call and provided foundational gifts that sustained and enhanced the Campaign’s momentum.

Imagine a modern woodshop, where instead of hammers and saws the tools are 3-D printers, laser cutters, and specialty software. ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï imagined just such a place. The R. Howard Webster Foundation helped make it a reality.

Dr. Gordon MacNeill (’48, ’87 HON) once thought he wouldn’t go to university. He would finish high school, get a job in his hometown of Sydney, Cape Breton and that would be it. Post-secondary school wasn’t really part of the plan.
