Recognizing outstanding service and commitment to UNB and the Associated Alumni.
Kevin Ferguson is an enthusiastic and long-standing supporter of UNB and the Associated Alumni. When he stepped foot on campus for his first undergraduate degree, Ferguson immediately joined the Orientation Committee and found himself in a unique situation, welcoming brand new students to a university at which he had not yet attended a single class.
Throughout his time as a student, Ferguson immersed himself in various extracurricular activities on campus and his dedication to the university has only grown stronger as an alumnus.
With a special fondness for his alma mater, Ferguson represented UNB for 16 years on the Associated Alumni Council, first as a council member, then as the Associated Alumni president and later as a member of the Board of Governors.
Serving as council president, during a particularly tumultuous time for post-secondary education in New Brunswick, Ferguson played a pivotal role in engaging alumni and advocating fervently for the future of UNB. He worked actively behind the scenes, successfully helping garner support for a change in government policy.
Throughout his time on council, Ferguson took the lead on a variety of other important initiatives such as the creation of the first alumni survey in 2004 and the development of a new Strategic Plan for the Associated Alumni.
Currently the Founder and CEO of sustainedAbility, a management consulting firm, Ferguson is active in the community and maintains a strong connection to his alma mater, a testament to what it means to be Proudly UNB.
