The UNB Saint John Graduating Student Leadership Awards recognize students who have made outstanding voluntary extracurricular contributions to their academic program/department, or to UNB Saint John as a whole.
The awards program was created in 2005 by the UNB Associated Alumni to acknowledge and encourage student participation in university affairs. More than 350 alumni are now members of this exclusive group of ‘UNB Saint John Graduating Student Leaders'.
We look forward to celebrating the 2022 UNB Saint John Graduating Student Leaders virtually, March 31 at 6 p.m. (ADT). The event will be available to watch on the UNB Young Alumni Facebook page.
