Dr. Ted MacNintch Class Engagement Award

The Dr. Ted MacNintch Class Engagement Award was conceived in 2011 to recognize individulas for outstanding alumni class leadership.

Keeping Alumni classes together is important to the overall communication between NSAC and those that attended classes here. Class reunions are often the main reason that alumni come back to NSAC and good reunions start with leadership from within the class itself.

Those professionals who work with Alumni recognize the importance of the special role that these class leaders into their efforts to keep the class together.  To recognize this role, and the outstanding effort of some of these individuals, the Dr. Ted MacNintch Class Engagement Award was created.

As Class of ’56 president, Ted is the most outstanding class president NSAC has ever seen.  For 55 years, Ted has been “the glue that holds the Class of ’56 together”.

Through faithfully distributing a class newsletter at least once per year and initiating class reunions, Ted has played a huge role in the strong bond held by his classmates.  The Class of ’56 is one of NSAC’s most active classes. After meeting every five years for many years, the class now meets every year somewhere in the Maritimes.  They have sponsored a scholarship and members have been involved in many fundraisers and activities on campus.

For Ted’s incredible leadership with the class of 1956 and his devotion to NSAC, we are pleased to create this new award named in his honour, the Dr. Ted MacNintch Class Engagement Award.

This award may be awarded annually by NSAC, to a class member who has exemplified the importance of maintaining engagement within an NSAC class.  Ted is the truly the example for all Alumni classes
