Engineering students at the University of New Brunswick enjoy a fellowship unlike any other discipline. The foundation they build during their studies at UNB supports them for the rest of their lives.
It's not surprising that the late M. Patrick Gillin had a deep appreciation for the friendships and life-changing experiences students have at UNB, considering his commitment to the university during his lifetime. It's a commitment that will endure for eternity.
The establishment of the M. Patrick Gillin Award in Engineering is only one example of his commitment to UNB and the program from which he graduated in 1949, but it's an important one.
Each year, several of these awards can be granted to deserving undergraduate students who have completed their high school education in New Brunswick, have demonstrated involvement in the community, have achieved a satisfactory academic record and require financial assistance. The award gives many students the opportunity they need to pursue their dream of a career in engineering.
