Kicking it up a bit at Homecoming ell, if anyone DIDN’T have a good time at UNB WHomecoming 2005, we didn’t hear about it. More than 1,500 alumni and guests returned to the Fredericton campus July 28-31 for the event, and judging from all the smiles and kind comments the organizers received, everyone was glad they turned out. Even the weather co-operated . . . it rained cats and dogs in the days leading up to the event, and the rain resumed for a day or two immediately after. But during — sunny and warm! The Big Tent on Chapman Field, shown on the cover of this edition, was again the main venue for Homecoming. It was packed Thursday and Friday evenings for the Welcome Home reception and the traditional Lobster Boil followed by Sons of Maxwell. Then Saturday night hundreds more turned out at the tent

And in between the main on-campus events, there was Homecoming activity all over the city. About 100 of our ‘small groups’ — ranging from specif- ic class years and faculties to sports groups to campus groups such as CHSR and The Brunswickan — held their own get-togethers in homes, bars and restaurants across the region. One group in particular — the Phys Eders of 1966 — had a phenomenal turnout with 31 of 44 members of the graduat- ing class attending. Then there were the golf and tennis tournaments, Faculty Fest, the Last Class Bash in the Big Tent after the MacMaster show and the ecumenical church service Sunday morning. But, because words can’t convey the true atmosphere of Homecoming, we’re going to let images do it — just flip through the following pages for a pictorial record of the event, and note all the smiling faces. It all would have been impossible without the tremendous amount of work put in by hundreds of people over almost two years. Particularly, the Associated Alumni extends its thanks and appreciation to the volunteer orga- nizing committee headed by Mary Ellen McKinney (BBA’77, BN’00), and including Kathy Mac Farlane (BPE’88), Margot Russell (BA’69), Wolfgang Faig (MScSE’65), Barb MacMullin (BPE’74), Larry Guitard (BA’75, LLB’77) and Margie Gregg (BA’92). The association also would like to Above left, Homecoming Chair Mary Ellen McKinney, left, with her sister, Kathryn Burke; recognize the support provided by our above right, taking a few practice putts sponsors, and the university and its departments such as Physical Plant, Security and the Aitken Centre. But our most heartfelt thanks has to go to those 1,500 of you who came back for Homecoming. It was good to see you again!

SPARC (the Student Pride and Alumni Relations Committee) was formed in January 1994 by a group of enthusiastic UNB Fredericton students who saw a need to provide a vehicle to link current students to the alumni asso- ciation. Despite the tremendous efforts and energies of the SPARC members over the years, the organization only reached a lim- ited number of the university student population. It is now felt the best way to tackle this issue is to provide a more hands-on approach by the office in offering services to cur- rent students. To that end, the following changes will occur: 1.

And it all started here. I received a super-duper education at UNB and really came out of my shell. By involving myself in student life, whether through sports or residence life, I developed as a person and gained a new self-confidence. At that time, there were just over 50 girls at UNB and about 800 boys (how could I have not had a good time!?), and the small class sizes were perfect for me. I was fortunate to have received the Mrs. H. G. Chestnut Special Scholarship all four years (although that didn’t prevent me from continuing to iron my professor’s shirts for 25 cents a piece), and it is my main inspiration for giving back. Through scholarships, I hope I am helping others as I was helped, and by setting up a legacy gift, I have the pleasure of knowing that my support for scholarships will continue long after I am gone. After all this time and all of my degrees, this is the only University I have ever come back to for reunions. UNB will always hold a very special place in my heart.” You can leave your own legacy.
