What's Happening at UNB
ALUMNI NEWS MAGAZINE | Summer 2022
On July 1, Clint Hamilton is returning to UNB. This time as vice-president (advancement).
Clint was head coach of the Varsity Reds men’s basketball team from 1992 to 1999, transforming it into a nationally competitive, highly ranked team. He later took over as director of athletics on the Fredericton campus and played an integral role in strengthening the athletics community. He left UNB in 2004, but his connection to, and pride in, the university stayed with him.
During his time at UNB, Clint served as co-chair of the record-breaking faculty-staff component of the university's Forging our Futures campaign, and as champion for The Richard J. CURRIE CENTER in its conceptual phase.
“Almost immediately upon arriving at UNB in 1992, I felt a strong connection to the university and the province, and people were amazing in supporting our ambitions around the basketball program we were building,” he says. “Whether it was alumni looking to support as volunteers, sponsors, hosting or actively supporting our desire to recruit top student-athletes through generously supporting our scholarship goals, the UNB community was amazing in advancing our athletics program.”
It is UNB’s strategic vision, Toward 2030, that brought Clint back to the university. “As UNB looks to the future, it is clear to me that it is building from a place of strength. I want to be part of such an inspirational and bold vision to advance UNB’s transformative experiential education opportunities for all students, grow important community partnerships, and bring programs and research to the world. I have heard President Mazerolle say that the world needs more UNB, and I have no doubt that UNB will continue to make a positive difference in communities around the world for years to come.”
As for how alumni can help UNB in its growth: “They play a crucially important role in advancing UNB’s future,” says Clint. “We can’t do it without them. We need alumni to share their stories with people in their lives. We need them to volunteer to engage and mentor current students. We need them to employ our students. We need them to support students through scholarships.”
