OUR COMMUNITY

WELCOME HOME

From the time you read this viewbook to the day you graduate, your story will be filled with friends, mentors, and academic leaders. At ADC, you will belong to a diverse community and be connected to a network of peers around the globe.

THE ADCSA

The Acadia Divinity College Students' Association (ADCSA) represents your interests to the ADC Senate and Board of Trustees, and the Acadia Students' Union (ASU). They pull together faculty, staff, students, and events to weave the very fabric of student life at ADC, creating a tangible community of support for everyone.

THE ASU

The Acadia Students' Union (ASU) exists to enhance the overall experience you have at Acadia. They provide a community of support and inclusivity for all students at the University, no matter where you are studying.

CHAPEL

Every Wednesday morning – online and in person – we gather as staff, faculty, students, alumni, and visitors to pray, praise, and listen to Scripture read and preached.

The atmosphere is friendly, our worship contemporary and heartfelt, and the preaching is spiritually dynamic. We name local and personal concerns while engaging with global issues. After the services, those who gather in the College building share a community lunch together where laughter and conversation fill the corridors.

NAIITS

Since 2015, Acadia Divinity College has partnered with NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community to offer a Master of Arts (Theology) specialization in Indigenous Community Development – a program almost entirely taught by Indigenous scholars. The heart of this partnership is to provide access to theological education for Indigenous Christians, and to those who work closely with Indigenous people and communities. ACADIA COMMUNITY

Through our affiliation with Acadia University, we can offer you a rich landscape of resources to help you in your academic and personal life. Whether studying online or in person you can take advantage of the many services offered through Acadia. From consultations, tutorials, and workshops through the Writing Centre, to mental health and counselling services through the Health Centre, and much more, your time at ADC will be enriched by the wider Acadia University community.

On-campus and local students have fitness facilities, the meal hall, physical library, and more right on their doorstep, adding a whole host of ways to connect and feel at home.

LIVING IN WOLFVILLE

As you search for your home away from home, consider the many options available in Wolfville and the surrounding area. If you are studying at the undergraduate level, one of Acadia’s 11 residences will provide quick access to all the University’s amenities and services.

Graduate students, mature students, and those with families can explore off-campus options, still only minutes from campus and downtown.
