UNB Associated Alumnae

The Associated Alumnae was founded in 1910 and incorporated in 1919. The object of the association is to promote, directly and indirectly, the educational and financial interests of the university, especially as such interests are related to the women graduates and undergraduates of the university. Membership in the Associated Alumnae consists of women graduates and former women students of the university who have successfully completed one year.

The Associated Alumnae furnished and equipped UNB's first residence for women, the Maggie Jean Chestnut House, generously donated to the Alumnae by Lord Beaverbrook.

In May 1952, this residence was transferred to the university. The Alumnae Memorial Library, located in Lady Dunn Hall, and libraries in other residences for women students, were established and are maintained by the association. The Associated Alumnae annually awards several scholarships to women students, including: an Entrance Scholarship in Education named in honour of Muriel Farris Baird; the Zula V. Hallett Scholarship, awarded to a woman student entering third-year Physical Education; the Marion Fleet Rogers Scholarship to a woman student entering third year at UNB Saint John; and an award for part-time students. The total annual value of all scholarships provided exceeds $18,000. Two prizes, the Dorothy Elson Prize and the Agnes Grey Wilson Prize, are also donated by the Associated Alumnae.
