Emin Civi

Marketing Professor, Faculty of Business, 15th year at UNB

November 2019

Teaching’s kind of like parenting. Every cohort or class is different, therefore you need to have different approaches. Students are not only learning marketing, they are also learning to learn. If you’re able to teach your students to learn, it’s the most important skill you can help them acquire.

I’ve been to five universities and none of them has paralleled the close community that is created at UNB. That would be its biggest strength in my eyes. It has strong professors, strong academic programs, strong extra-curricular programs, athletic and non-athletic activities; but it’s that close-knit community that really makes it stand out.

Apply to all the universities, apply for all the scholarships, because you never know. You might think, ‘That’s not going to be for me’ or ‘I’m not good enough for that’, but you really are. Put yourself out there and get involved – you won’t regret it.

It’s an opportunity like nothing else when you’re this age: to be the president of an organization of this size representing 6,000 students. There aren’t many other organizations that represent so many people that are willing to hand over the reins to a twenty year old.

It’s hard for people to know what to expect going into counselling. It’s a conversation. You can bring in your goals, it can be so positive. Whether you’re going through something right now or not, you can do a lot of skill building.

Being able to work with UNB Sustainability this past summer has been a great opportunity to learn about all the awesome programming that is making the campus greener. A highlight for me was helping out with the free food planters and having the chance to talk to folks around campus who share a passion for sustainability.

UNB's 19th President and Vice-Chancellor, BA'89, 1st year as UNB's president, 8th year at UNB

September 2019

There’s something about the UNB community that is quite special. When I have the chance to meet alumni, you hear their amazing stories and how their experience at UNB was so formative – both in terms of their educational experiences and their friendships. And when I talk to some of the alumni who have been incredibly successful in their careers, later in life they reflect and they tell me UNB was instrumental in their success.

We’re kind of the new up-and-coming campus. Our student population is continuing to grow, and we are seeing new buildings being built. We are on the ground floor of a campus that is starting to grow very fast. It might not be a very big school, but it definitely has a strong sense of community.

Bachelor of Business Administration, Marketing Student, 3rd year at UNB

September 2019

I started university thinking I wanted to do accounting. After taking general classes in my first two years, I learned about myself and discovered that marketing is where my heart lies. Some people switch majors, some people change degrees – that’s OK and completely normal.

Jordan Conrad

Bachelor of Science, Medicinal Chemistry Student, 4th Year at UNB

September 2019

In my first year, I actually didn’t get too involved in extra-curricular activities. I was focused on learning what it’s like being in university, meeting people, making sure I got good grades. Second year, I started jumping into it a little bit more – I eased myself in, just dipped my feet in some places. Third year was when it really started.
