Welcome to the Fall issue of your alumni magazine. It’s been a busy time since our last issue with lots of planning for summer activities like our annual Golf Tournament and Homecoming weekend in the fall.
We also had our Annual General Meeting in September and I am once again your President for the upcoming year. I am honoured to serve our more than 51,000 alumni around the world. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing Council volunteers for their service and welcome our newest members.
In this issue of our magazine, you’ll hear more about our newly opened arena, the Dauphinee Centre. Our Homecoming this year was an opportunity to welcome back over 250 hockey Huskies from both the men’s and women’s teams. We also celebrated our very first women’s hockey coach Lisa Haley and the men’s AUS Championship team from 2001–02, along with football player Noah Cantor BA’94 with their induction into Sport Hall of Fame. I encourage everyone to get themselves to a hockey game back on campus in the new rink. It’s a beautiful space for our varsity and club teams to enjoy along with members of the community.
You’ll also learn about faculty members winning awards in writing, you’ll find out what’s happening at the university’s Entrepreneurship Centre, and discover great programs from all over campus for our students and alumni. We were fortunate to have MasterChef Canada winner and Atlantic Canada Studies alum Jennifer Crawford back on campus for a visit after their big win. You can read about their experience in this issue as well.
I hope you enjoy reading up on the activities and stories of our alumni. If you have a story to tell, please let us know and don’t forget to follow us on social media.
