Goal: Achieve Optimal Rates of Student Enrolment to Ensure Institutional and Campus Community Sustainability

• Acadia’s domestic undergraduate enrolment is ahead of it 3,200 student target (out of an overall full-time undergraduate population of 4,000). However, continued post-COVID travel restrictions and economic conditions worldwide have negatively impacted targeted international student enrolment of 800. Overall undergraduate enrolment has fluctuated little since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Goal: Build a Culture Of Fundraising to Continue Beyond the Successful Completion of Campaign for Acadia

• Campaign for Acadia concluded in 2020 raising a record $86.8 million to support students and faculty and to expand and renew Acadia campus infrastructure.

Goal: Enhance Infrastructure Renewal And Campus Development To Meet Priority Needs

• Significant infrastructure renewal projects include the replacement of the aging Raymond Field all-weather turf and the boards and glass in Andrew H. McCain Arena. Acadia’s athletic complex is a key piece of infrastructure to both students and the community which allows the university to attract major events such as the 2022 USports Men’s Hockey Championship and a July 2022 CFL football game between Toronto and Regina. These events are important contributors to Acadia’s reputation as a leading Canadian university and significantly beneficial to Wolfville and the Province of Nova Scotia.
