New students will be kept busy with a variety of activities during their first few days that will help orient them to the programs, campus, fellow students and the community at large.

Centennial Flower Display

We hope you have noticed the wonderful floral version of the Centennial logo at the end of the playing field on Pictou Road. Designed and created by Sherry Chaisson of Environmental Sciences, this is a highly visible reminder of our Centennial year.  Have a look.

Exhibition Learning

The NSAC returned to the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition for the first time in over a decade with a major presence. Interactive information from a range of research and teaching options was presented and over 40 staff members volunteered to be at the booth at different times  Hundreds visited over the course of the week. This excellent effort in awareness for NSAC was lead by Sarah Morris and Jenna Tingley.  Thanks and congratulations.
