GOAL: PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL AND TRANSFORMATIVE STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Maclean’s ranking reflects focus on student experience UNB placed fourth among Canada’s 15 comprehensive universities in the latest edition of Maclean’s university rankings, two steps up from last year’s rating. When compared to the other 49 Canadian universities, UNB saw significant increases in the Most Innovative University and Leaders of Tomorrow categories, reflecting our focus on promoting student innovation and leadership. We also made gains in international and pan-Canadian recruitment of students. UNB’s recruitment efforts across the country have resulted in a four percent increase in the number of Canadian students from outside New Brunswick, contributing to the goal of increasing enrolment of students from other provinces. According to the 2013 rankings, UNB’s Libraries hold top spot nationally in terms of percentage of budget devoted to the libraries, and library holdings per students.We are also devoting more of our budget to scholarships and bursaries, in alignment with the objective of providing financial support for all students. UNB moved up three spots in the Best Overall category nationally – taking us closer to our overarching goal to be the best teaching and learning institution in Canada.
BBA Students place third in National Case Conference Learning how to analyze business cases helped three business students place third in the Jeux du Commerce (JCD) Central competition hosted by Carleton University in January 2011. Twenty students from the Faculty of Business Administration participated in the competition, which drew students from across Canada. Ashley Hayes, Cody Pyne and Mostafa Shaker were given three hours to analyze a case about a company that was planning to buy out another company in the IT industry. Cody credits their course work in human resources management and business law for their ability to come up with a viable strategy.

U First: Student Recruitment wins one of the inaugural 2012 Macaulay-O’Sullivan Administrative Service and Innovation Awards U First: Student Recruitment developed three initiatives that were recognized as being innovative, cost-effective and efficient. 1. The Recruitment Geographic Territory Approach is most often found in the private sector. Sales and client services teams are assigned a geographic territory in which to build relationships and increase sales in specific target markets. 2. The ‘Hello UNB’ tour is also based on a private sector model – familiarization tours for travel agents. In UNB’s case, the ‘travel agents’ are high school guidance counselors who can refer prospective students to the university. 3. The online student recruitment program included the creation of a Facebook fan page and Twitter account, and the “Ideas Unlimited� contest, which awarded cash prizes to high school students whose community project earned the most “likes�. The programs have had significant impact on enrolment. The two-year enrolment objectives were met in one year and final Fall enrolment figures for 2012 have met revenue targets. The programs also raised UNB’s profile, and enhanced our reputation as being customerservice oriented, responsive, innovative and caring about the community.
New enrolment initiative A three-year pilot project was implemented this year in partnership with U First, Registrar’s Office and the VP Academic. This initiative provides highly motivated students in their senior year of high school the opportunity to take UNB courses along with their high school program. Six Fredericton High School students have enrolled in the program and three are continuing their studies at UNB Fredericton.
BMO Centre: During Children’s Rights Awareness Week 2011, UNB and STU Athletes Council worked together to coordinate “Random Acts of Play� at the BMO Centre, involving 9-16 year olds in a series of fun games and activities. CBCTV and newspaper reporters covered the event.

Computer Science houses feel like home In Fall 2011, each new incoming undergraduate student in the Faculty of Computer Science was placed into a CS House to compete for the FCS House Cup, which is displayed in the Dean’s Office. The first-ever winner of the Cup, Babbage )PVTF XBT BOOPVODFE BU UIF &OE PG Year Banquet. Many first-year students attended. The House concept has created a sense of community among undergraduate students, especially first year students. Some even formed House study groups at midterm and exam time. Students have started spending more time on campus, hanging out with other members of their House, and morale keeps rising.
Nursing student makes significant contribution to health care education Fourth year nursing student Sasha Bringloe, under Dr. Pat Seaman’s supervision, was awarded funding from the Department of Health to develop three on-line modules about immunizations. These modules are now being used by the UNB Faculty of Nursing and are distributed between one second-year course (Young Families) and one third-year course (Community and Population Health). This was a transformative experience for Sasha because she had the opportunity to develop new skills in program development, and to expand her knowledge about immunizations and Public Health. It will also transform learning opportunities for nursing students enrolled in the UNB courses as they now have access to an interactive New Brunswick specific learning tool.

Bi-Campus Online Application UNB launched its new online application service in Fall 2011. The project partnered ITS, Registrar’s Offices, Recruitment Units and Graduate Studies. The new online application lets prospective students start and save an application, access (at their convenience) the status of pending documents and their application status, and notifies them electronically when an admission decision has been made. These new features have dramatically improved our ability to give students timely, accurate information regarding their application, and allow us to offer a more personalized approach. The new service has also helped us serve our international applicants more efficiently. It received high marks when used in China at our On-the-Spot admissions events.

Library outreach Judy MacLean is an Information Services Librarian in the Science and Forestry Library with a passion for research – and outreach. To connect with students, she borrowed a kiosk from the Vice President’s office, which she set up outside the Harriet Irving Library. Judy is available from 10 am to 12:30 pm (peak times) to help students with research questions. She has been a huge hit with the students and faculty, and represents how all members of the UNB community are using creative, cost-effective ways to enrich the student experience.
Financial Services was open on Check-in Day (September 1st) to allow students, parents and supporters to pay fees. The Student Experience office donated prizes for student volunteers to distribute in the line-up.
