Thanks to your foundational investments in our university, UNB students and researchers really hit their stride in
2023-24.
Your transformational gifts are enabling UNB to construct world-class facilities that will support the translation of knowledge into innovation while educating the next generation of technological entrepreneurs and health and social service professionals.
In Fredericton, construction of a new Engineering Commons is underway at Head Hall. In Saint John, a Health and Social Innovation Centre is rising, which will house new collaborative health research clusters and educational programs. On both campuses, the McKenna Institute is contributing to the digitization of New Brunswick society and forging new ties between UNB, other universities and the private sector. Growth and renewal in the faculty of law is also well underway, thanks to the generous support and leadership of supporters like you.
Our students have achieved remarkable success this past year, from the classroom and lab to playing fields and hockey arenas. Whenever they test their knowledge or their prowess, they do so knowing that you have faith in them and in their capacity to make a difference.
I take this opportunity to thank Jeff Wright, former executive director of Development and Donor Relations. His dedication and expertise have been consistently demonstrated in the role and his efforts have helped to strengthen our community. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Marcie Nixon, associate director of principal gifts, has stepped in as the acting executive director. She brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to our institution and is very well placed to lead the team during this transition period.
Thank you for being a supporter and friend to UNB. The world needs more people like you. The world needs more UNB.
Dr. Paul J. Mazerolle
President and Vice-Chancellor
