Campaign Leadership
Dear Acadia Community,
As a member of the Class of 1982 and chair of an initiative to reimagine our Student Centre, my connection to Acadia is a story woven through time. It is a story shared with many, including Bill Hoyt (鈥�52, HON 鈥�01), who serves as the honorary chair of our campaign. Although we walked the halls three decades apart, we share a bond with this institution that goes beyond the years. What unites us is not just our cherished memories but our shared vision for the future of Acadia.
We have joined forces with a diverse team of people for a common purpose 鈥� to gift the next generation a Student Centre that reflects Acadia鈥檚 spirit and meets the evolving needs of students.
A message from our chair
Dear Acadia Community,
As a member of the Class of 1982 and chair of an initiative to reimagine our Student Centre, my connection to Acadia is a story woven through time. It is a story shared with many, including Bill Hoyt (鈥�52, HON 鈥�01), who serves as the honorary chair of our campaign. Although we walked the halls three decades apart, we share a bond with this institution that goes beyond the years. What unites us is not just our cherished memories but our shared vision for the future of Acadia.
We have joined forces with a diverse team of people for a common purpose 鈥� to gift the next generation a Student Centre that reflects Acadia鈥檚 spirit and meets the evolving needs of students.
Our time on campus was transformative and has shaped countless others into who we are today. The friendships forged, the lessons learned, and the sense of community we experienced are still with us today. However, providing an enriching student life experience is an ongoing commitment.
The world has changed over the years, and so have the needs of our students. It's our collective responsibility to ensure that our facilities keep pace. This is why we are embarking on an ambitious campaign to revitalize our Old SUB and New SUB 鈥� transforming them into an inclusive Student Centre to serve as a hub of activity, collaboration, and growth.
We invite you to join us on our mission to raise $24 million. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help lay the foundation for a modern space where students can connect, learn, and thrive. Let's come together to gift our students a place where they can create their own future, just as we did.
With sincere gratitude,
