A Celebration of Spirit
In 2010-11, the University of New Brunswick marked its 225th anniversary, an important milestone in our history and an occasion to showcase our accomplishments and reinforce our significant role in Canadian education.Almost every on-campus activity, from concerts and lectures to sporting events and graduation ceremonies, was incorporated into the 225th anniversary celebrations.
A series of special events gave us the opportunity to gather as a
community to examine the people and values at the core of UNB. Visit
the Events page to learn about our Celebration of Canadian Spirit in
Toronto, the Beaverbrook
Celebration of Generosity in Fredericton, the Petition Celebration in
Saint John, and more.
We also launched an architectural history of the university, celebrated homecoming, unveiled artwork, feted past presidents, and engaged the greater community through the Changing New Brunswick Series of Conversations and the Ideas That Matter Lecture Series.
Be sure to check out Our Stories, From the Archives, and the Traditions sections of the website to learn more about what makes UNB special.
