Annual @MountAllison Clubs & Societies Fair is today in the Wallace McCain Student Centre! Great chance for students to get involved, pursue their passions, and meet like-minded clubsters.

New beginnings. New traditions. Looking back. Looking forward. Powerful words spoken at tonight’s inaugural Pilei Nipi (“new leaf”) event in Con Hall. A night of Truth. A call to Reconciliation. A life lived vulnerably in the moment. Xavier Gould (‘17).

Look out Canada, “@MountAllison Has Got Talent!” Day 3 of Orientation showcased student talent on stage at Con Hall. Dance, acoustic, electric, rap, spoons, comedy, mad science & more! Huge kudos to the performers and all who came to cheer them on!

Day 2 of @MountAllison Orientation ended with the famed Karaoke BBQ (which is really a mash-up dance-off between residences, orientation leaders, & off-campus students). Great spirit, great moves, lots of fun.

Day 2 of @MountAllison Orientation off to a fun, tasty start with annual @SackvilleTownNB & @SackvilleRotary corn boil and accompanying field games (washer toss, corn hole, spike ball). Bouncy castles a big hit, with battle scars as proof!

Ida passed through Sackville on Thursday leaving things (mostly) dry for residence move-in & the start of Orientation on Friday. BIG day a long time in the making. Huge shout-out to all the shiny happy people who helped make the day a success. #WeAllRiseTogether

No, not the bat-mobile and not Batman. This masked man is none other than Housing’s Ryan Gallant. He & his ride (“the Flame”) braved bad weather on Tuesday to hand out study snacks to students. Meanwhile back at the bat-cave, Chef Caleb was serving up Student Choice Menu Day.

COVID put a crimp in Convocation (yet again), so the Alumni Office & the Grad Exec mobilized for a series of small, socially-distanced pin ceremonies this weekend. Early congrats to this year’s grads & big thanks to the organizers for putting this on!

When the natural rhythms of university & everyday life get interrupted, it's easy to miss marking important moments and noteworthy accomplishments. The stories still need to be told. Successes still need to be celebrated. Nominations for graduating student awards are now open.

Feeling bullish! Happy Year of the (Metal) Ox. After the rusty tin can year that was Metal Rat (2020), 2021 promises to be shiny & polished. No “catastrophic events” forecasted, so a “favourable year for economic recovery” and “peace at home.” Long-awaited, welcome news!
