PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Thanks to your generosity and loyalty, we are embarking on exciting initiatives at Acadia University.
With your help, we are working toward establishing a Nursing School, revitalizing our beloved Students’ Union Building, and strengthening the student experience. At the same time, we recognize the financial challenges students are facing across Canada and the world. As costs rise, financial barriers can hinder their educational journeys, and your assistance is more critical than ever in helping them succeed. Your contributions to Acadia are not just monetary; they are transformative. This report contains a few examples of how donors like you create a brighter future for our students, faculty, community, and beyond. You will learn that donations can play a role in helping to win championships, support a university farm or student summer research.
Your generosity is truly inspiring, and crucial to our continued success, and we are deeply grateful.
In Acadia spirit, Jeffrey J. Hennessy (’99), PhD President and Vice-Chancellor
All donors who confirm a legacy or planned gift to Acadia gain membership in the 1838 Society – a special group of benevolent and farsighted individuals committed to Acadia’s mission and future.
The Society honours those who have shared their intention to include Acadia in their estate plans through a bequest, life insurance policy, or other gift arrangement. Informing Acadia of your planned gift will ensure we are able to administer your gift with your intended interests and give us the opportunity to thank you for your support.
CHARLIE DEAN: A JOURNEY OF GRATITUDE AND GROWTH
Charlie Dean’s (’24) journey at Acadia has been remarkable, underscoring the profound difference that donor support can make in students’ lives. A recent Kinesiology grad and Atlantic University Sport (AUS) champion, she is grateful for how the Acadia community shaped her academic and athletic journey.
Standing 5'7", the Mississauga native helped bring home the AUS volleyball banner, a historic achievement for the program that delighted a packed crowd at the Stu Aberdeen Court on the Wolfville campus.
ˮBEING A PART OF THE ACADIA WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE,” SHE SAYS. “I WAS SURROUNDED BY COACHES, TEAMMATES, AND A COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTED ME. I AM SO HAPPY THAT WE COULD BRING A BANNER HOME FOR ACADIA.ˮ
Charlie earned a first-team AUS all-star spot by leading the conference in assists and kills among setters. She was awarded a second-team All-Canadian spot after playing at the U SPORTS Championships, where her team placed fourth.
Supported by Generosity
Charlie received a number of donor supported awards including the Haley Medal, the Connie MacNeil Athletics Award and the Women in Sport Spirit Award. “I am honoured to have received recognition and financial support from donors, which eased my financial burdens and allowed me to focus on my studies,” says Charlie. “I was lucky to have spent three amazing years in the Acadia Athletics family."
Kudos to Coach Michelle Wood
Acadia women’s volleyball head coach Michelle Wood was honoured with the prestigious Marilyn Pomfret Award for 2024, recognizing her as the U SPORTS Women’s Volleyball Coach of the Year. Wood was also named Atlantic University (AUS) Coach of the Year.
ˮRECEIVING THE COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD DOESN’T HAPPEN WITHOUT A GREAT INSTITUTION THAT BELIEVES IN YOU AND SUPPORTS YOU THROUGH YOUR COACHING ENDEAVOURS,ˮ SAYS WOOD. ˮIT IS ALSO A TESTAMENT TO THE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT-ATHLETES THAT COMMIT THEMSELVES TO GREATNESS.ˮ
MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
As a respected and beloved high school teacher, Loring (Bill) Sturk (’67) influenced countless young lives. During his career, he taught mathematics for 35 years in Bancroft, Ontario, and taught as a supply teacher for another 15 years.
Now Sturk’s generous bequest to Acadia means that he will continue to positively influence young lives. Two funds, established in 2024, have been made possible by a gift from his estate.
“I think Acadia had an outsized impact on his life,” says his son, Ted Sturk. “He came from humble roots, and Acadia allowed him to escape them. With this legacy gift, I think he was hoping to have a similar impact on somebody else’s life. Near the end of his life, when we were nursing him, people just lit up when they talked about Bill Sturk, the math teacher in Bancroft, and what a great job he had done. He wanted to pay it forward. I don’t know that he would have phrased it like that, but I think that was his intent.”
Nurturing the Acadia Farm and Strengthening the Swim Team
The Loring Sturk ('67) Acadia Farm Fund and the Loring Sturk (’67) Memorial Swimming Award are both funds of $25,000 that will each provide support for five years.
“We are very grateful for this contribution to the Acadia Community Farm” says Jodie Noiles, Acadia Sustainability Coordinator. “At the Acadia Farm, students work together to grow organic food in the university and community garden while also learning about topics in
food and agriculture related to their academic studies. The Acadia Farm would not be possible without our generous supporters.”
“This award for first-year athletes has been a game changer for our team,” says Kris Bell, Head Coach, Men’s and Women’s Swim Team. “This year, I was able to distribute the award to five first year student-athletes, and their eyes just lit up. We’re a small university with passionate alumni. I can’t express how much it means to have a family recognize the program’s value through this bequest.”
Why the farm and the swim team? “He was on the swim team at Acadia, and all his life he believed in a healthy lifestyle,” Ted Sturk says. “He was a part-time farmer and a beekeeper. Health and athletics, as well as farming, loomed large in his life.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Celebrating the Success of Our Student Scholarship Recipients
Over the years, our student scholarship and bursary recipients have gone on to make remarkable contributions in a wide range of fields. Their journeys since graduating from Acadia are a testament to the power of education and the impact of scholarships and bursaries that supported them along the way.
The Arthur L. Irving Family Foundation Scholarships at Acadia University are among the most prestigious and generous awards in Canada. The scholarships were created to foster the development of future leaders in building stronger, more resilient communities and creating a more just and sustainable future for all.
The Irving scholarships are awarded to high school students at a value of $60,000. Students must be enrolled in a study which relates to environmental issues at Acadia University. There have been 43 Irving Scholars since the scholarship started in 2014.
A Legacy of Achievement
We are excited to share updates from three of our Irving Scholars, Laura Clerk (’20), Kayoung Heo (’18) and Baillie Holmes (’18). They all credit much of their success to their time at Acadia and the Irving scholarship support.
Laura Clerk (’20)
Where has life taken you after graduating from Acadia?
After graduating from Acadia, I attended law school at the University of Toronto. I graduated in June 2024, and I am now completing articling at a litigation firm in downtown Toronto.
How has being an Irving Scholar helped you with your journey?
The generosity of the Irving family relieved a tremendous financial burden which allowed me to focus on learning and becoming a part of the Acadia community. Being an Irving Scholar also built my confidence and helped me determine what I wanted to do next.
What advice would you give current and future Irving Scholars?
Take advantage of the peer network you are provided with. As an Irving Scholar you are surrounded by other motivated students who share your passion and drive. They can be a great source of support.
THE ARTHUR L. IRVING FAMILY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AMONG THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS AND GENEROUS AWARDS IN CANADA. THE SCHOLARSHIPS WERE CREATED TO FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE LEADERS IN BUILDING STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT COMMUNITIES AND CREATING A MORE JUST AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL.
Kayoung Heo (’18)
Where has life taken you after graduating from Acadia?
After graduating from Acadia, I pursued further studies in medicine and am currently a psychiatry resident doctor in British Columbia. My experiences as an Acadia alum and an Irving Scholar have shaped my approach to healthcare and my awareness of the intersection between the environment and patient care.
How has being an Irving Scholar helped you with your journey?
It allowed me to explore environmental research during my undergraduate studies, which laid the foundation for my ongoing interest in environmental health. It connected me with a group of like-minded peers and it was truly a pleasure to engage with such an inspiring community during my undergraduate years.
What advice would you give current and future Irving Scholars?
The support you receive as an Irving Scholar is a reflection of your ability to create meaningful change, both in your life and in the lives of others. Stay curious, have fun, and immerse yourself in what excites you!
Baillie Holmes (’18)
Where has life taken you after graduating from Acadia?
I completed a Master of Applied Science in Environmental Engineering at Dalhousie University. I have been working as an Environmental Scientist for an Engineering Consultant in their site investigation, remediation, and response team.
How has being an Irving Scholar helped you with your journey?
I think that my time as an Irving Scholar was quite formative in who I am now. It connected me with so many mentors and friends that have inspired and also helped me in innumerable ways. They lifted me up and taught me about life as much as what I was in school for. If any are reading, thank you, I think of you all the time.
What advice would you give current and future Irving Scholars?
I know you are under a lot of pressure right now to be exemplary students, leaders, get good grades, get the best summer jobs etc. My advice to you is to be your brilliantly imperfect selves, enjoy life and take the detours.
Sandra (’74, ’17 HON) and daughter, Sarah Irving, are very connected to the Irving Scholars and are on campus several times a year to meet with student recipients. Sandra shared, “WHAT ARTHUR MOST LIKED TO DO WAS HELP STUDENTS REALIZE THEIR DREAMS. THE SCHOLARSHIPS IN HIS NAME AT ACADIA UNIVERSITY WILL FOREVER HONOUR HIS LIFE, AND THE EXAMPLE OF HARD WORK AND GIVING BACK HE SET FOR ALL OF US.”
Build: theStudentCentre campaign is more than bricks and mortar. Imagine a welcoming place where every student finds the tools, support, and community needed to thrive. A modern, revitalized hub where opportunities unfold, wellness is prioritized, and diversity is celebrated. An inclusive, accessible space that brings together health services, career development, ASU offices, student activities, and more, all under one energy-efficient roof.
When we put out the call to alumni to join the Student Centre Campaign Cabinet, we were not surprised to have a power-house group of volunteers join the campaign from across the globe and every decade from the 50s to our most recent graduates. “This is yet another example of how our alumni and friends come together to support Acadia. We are almost at our fundraising goal, and I know the continued support from alumni will get us there.”, said Nancy McCain (’82, ’21 HON), Chancellor and Campaign Chair.
A COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER
When asked why he is a donor to the project and campaign cabinet member, Bruce Galloway (’68, ’03 HON) shared, “As Chancellor I had the enjoyable experience of being involved with several fundraising initiatives over the years and I felt that I could help with this most important project by lending a hand and personally supporting this essential renewal of the SUB for the benefit of future students.”
Galloway is not alone in his support and commitment. Bert Frizzell (’72) is an Acadia Governor and campaign cabinet member as well as a donor to the project. Frizzell remembers “the SUB was a gathering place for on campus and off campus students as well as a significant number of commuting students that did not live in Wolfville – the new Student Centre will continue to be a place to come together. I met fellow students in class, but it was the SUB where you got to know them.”
Many of our campaign cabinet members have a long history and multigenerational reason for supporting the project. Indrani “Drin” Lutchman (’84) is delighted to be part of the campaign cabinet and reminisces about the Exit 10 events. “Who could forget the weekly events and a chance to let your hair down with your friends…from St. Patrick’s Day celebrations to toga parties – it was a haven for us all, especially in the depths of winter. I’m smiling just thinking about the SUB!”
Drin can see first-hand the lasting results the new Student Centre will have on future students. She also has an excuse to visit Acadia frequently from the UK – her son, Ben Hoggarth (’20), remained in Wolfville after graduation and is employed at Acadia in External Relations. “The warmth the university extended across the two generations and the genuine feeling that Acadia is home away from home is precious. The feeling of pride and tradition that Acadia can evoke and the feeling of belonging across generations is truly unique.”
Momentum is building, and we are at $18.7 million of our $24 million goal thanks to dedicated friends and pledges from our Alumni Association, Student’s Union and even the Class of 2024!
Each contribution will help create an accessible and welcoming environment and promote friendship and community. Together, we can build a space that serves our students today and for generations to come.

“THE WARMTH THE UNIVERSITY EXTENDED ACROSS THE TWO GENERATIONS AND THE GENUINE FEELING THAT ACADIA IS HOME AWAY FROM HOME IS PRECIOUS. THE FEELING OF PRIDE AND TRADITION THAT ACADIA CAN EVOKE AND THE FEELING OF BELONGING ACROSS GENERATIONS IS TRULY UNIQUE.”

AWARDS HELP STRENGTHEN A FAMILY BOND
Katrina Hayes and Leila Beaudet are both successful Acadia students pursuing double majors – Katrina in Sociology and Women’s and Gender Studies, and Leila in Biology and Environmental and Sustainability Studies. Both have received important financial awards.
They also happen to be mother and daughter.
Katrina’s awards include the George E. Levy Award in Comparative Religion for excellence in the subject. Her daughter, Leila, is receiving a Walker Wood ScholarBursary valued at $5,000 annually for up to four years.
The Walker Wood Foundation funds scholarships and bursaries throughout Canada for individuals who have much to offer but may not have the financial means to pursue their educational goals.
“It is incredible to see the positive impact the scholarbursaries have on students like Leila”, says Kate Wood, Vice President, Walker Wood Foundation. “Our family strongly believe in the transformational power of higher education, especially for those with the initiative and potential to make a difference not only in their own lives, but in the lives of others”.
Katrina’s educational journey began at the University of Calgary, where she completed her first year as a mature student. She then applied as a transfer student to Acadia and is thriving here as a student and a Teaching Assistant. Leila, the eldest of her four children, lived at
home for her first year but is now a Resident Assistant on campus.
“AS A LONE PARENT WITH YOUNG CHILDREN, BEING ABLE TO ACCESS AWARDS AND FUNDING HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT,”
Katrina says. “If I had to work as well as study and take care of my family, that would affect my ability to stay in the top tier of my Grade Point Average. Getting good grades is important, because after this degree I plan to do postgraduate work.”
For Leila, the impact of the Walker Wood Scholar-Bursary has been significant. “I come from a low-income family, so having that award has definitely relieved the stress of worrying about where I’ll get money to pay for school,” she says.
What’s it like to be at university as mother and daughter? “It’s a cool experience to share with your daughter,” Katrina says. “We’re able to help each other and support each other.”
Leila agrees. “It’s nice having her nearby,” she says. “We connect a lot with our studies. I’m really proud of her that she was able to get here. It’s just very special to be able to be here with her at the same time, especially at the same university.”

HOW THREE OF OUR STUDENT RESEARCHERS SPENT
THE SUMMER
by Suzanne Robicheau (’03)
Ueli Albert spent the summer investigating how to improve the quality of Parasport programs in Nova Scotia. Alina Rutherford pulled 17 all-nighters studying threatened seabirds. Elliot Cederberg focused on climate change by exploring the habits of a fish that can live out of water. Causes like these take Acadia’s student researchers on a journey that involves gathering data, analyzing information and arriving at insights – critically important work in an age of AI – and it wouldn’t be possible without donor support.
Now in the second year of his PhD studies, Ueli Albert is grateful that an award established in 2020 by Cynthia and Clive Waugh (’79) has allowed him to continue his investigation into creating a positive sport experience for people with disabilities. His goal is to reshape the current coach education system and improve on the quality of participation in Parasport programs in Nova Scotia. If this approach is effective, Ueli hopes it will be applied to other regions in Canada and adopted by the National Coaching Certification Program.
Alina Rutherford also acknowledges the importance of donor generosity in supporting her summer research into the Leach’s storm petrel, a threatened seabird that breeds in colonies on islands in the north Atlantic and Pacific. Thanks to a gift from Cynthia Trudell (’74, HON ’05) to establish the Trudell Research Award, Alina spent the summer looking for ways to prevent the strandings and collisions that occur at night when these birds are attracted to bright lights. “Ornithology and behavioural ecology have always interested me,” she says. “I have really appreciated the opportunity to learn so much and start my career.”
Elliot Cederberg also credits the Trudell Research Award with giving him the opportunity to conduct his summer research into the effects of climate warming on the mangrove rivulus, a species of fish that can live on land by breathing through its skin. By capitalizing on the rivulus’ ability to emerge from water when conditions are unfavourable, as well as its social behaviour, Elliot hopes to better understand how this fish responds to and perceives warm temperatures. In October, he will present his early results at the Atlantic Comparative Physiology Workshop in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.
“I LOVE HEARING THESE STORIES,” says Cynthia Trudell, an Acadia alum whose impressive career includes top leadership roles with companies such as PepsiCo., General Motors, Saturn, and Sea Ray Boats. “ACADIA IS THE PLACE WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO APPLY MY LEARNING. I AM VERY PLEASED TO HAVE ESTABLISHED AN AWARD THAT HELPS THIS GENERATION OF STUDENTS PURSUE INSIGHTS THAT WILL MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.”

ROWAN NORRAD, IRVING SCHOLAR
“The scholarship has given me amazing opportunities but, more importantly, it gave me a feeling of support and trust from the Irving family and the Acadia faculty. It instilled a sense of pride and self confidence which pushes me to be my best self, step out of my comfort zones, and strive to reach new heights.”

BECAUSE OF YOU
As an Acadia graduate, I am continually inspired by the loyalty and dedication of our alumni community, both in Canada and internationally. Your unwavering support for our students and commitment to ensuring the integrity of an Acadia education is truly remarkable.
From athletics to research and helping those in need, our alumni and friends consistently rally when called upon. Most recently, your dedication has been evident in your incredible support of Build: the Student Centre initiative, which will transform our Students’ Union Building into an accessible, modern hub for student life.
Thank you for staying in touch, volunteering, donating, and advocating for our alma mater. The gifts of your time and financial support create a lasting impact and ensure the Acadia experience remains exceptional for future generations.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Nancy Handrigan
