FINAL REPORT 2018 here it begins TOTAL $125,000,000 Thank you for being part of this historic moment as we celebrate the success of It Begins Here, the largest fundraising effort in UNB’s history. Over 10,000 alumni, as well as students, faculty, staff and corporate and community partners joined the campaign as we met and then surpassed our $110 million goal. I am grateful for the magnitude of your support and I am truly proud of your dedication to supporting our University. UNB has a great story to tell – we are Canada’s first English-language university and one of the nation’s top comprehensive universities. Our outstanding faculty, award-winning entrepreneurship programs, national-calibre athletics teams and state-of-the-art facilities draw students from across Canada and around the globe. The It Begins Here campaign has helped build on these strengths. A large part of our success is due to the hard work of the campaign co-chairs and the campaign cabinet. Bob, David and our dedicated volunteers have taken the story of what faculty, staff and students are accomplishing at UNB and carried that message all across the country. Together, we have worked hard to ensure that students have the financial support they need to obtain a quality university education. UNB begins with our students and that’s why one half of the campaign’s goal has been dedicated to student support. With your assistance, we have impacted the lives of young people and enhanced their experiences, on campus and elsewhere. These students will carry with them a sense of gratitude as they graduate and make a difference in Atlantic Canada, the nation and the world. Thank you for joining with us in this campaign. I hope you are as proud of our UNB community as I am. It begins here! H.E.A. Eddy Campbell President & Vice-Chancellor 02 | THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK It Begins Here has been the largest fundraising campaign in UNB’s history. When I look at the tremendous results that alumni and friends like you have generated, I am deeply proud of what we have accomplished. It Begins Here brought together more than 16,500 donors, and more than 10,000 of these benefactors are UNB alumni. Graduates of our two largest faculties – engineering and arts – contributed the bulk of alumni donations. More than $43 million, representing the largest portion of the campaign proceeds, was raised by donors located right here, in New Brunswick. The impact of your support has been profound. UNB’s alumni and allies have raised $3.4 million for new postdoctoral fellowships and created 5 new research chairs. They have contributed more than $10 million in support of centres of excellence, while supplying $62 million in new and expanded student support. This has resulted in a $2.9 million increase in the annual value of scholarships, bursaries and prizes awarded to our students, and an increase of $1,274 in the average value awarded per student per year. Because our donors have directed more than $106 million to medium and long-term funds held in trust, many of these benefits will continue to be delivered to each new generation of students and researchers at UNB, in perpetuity. We launched It Begins Here with five key objectives: giving students a great start; investing in our faculties; building on UNB’s research strengths; preparing students to succeed in the world; and leading Canada’s next wave of innovation. Thanks to your generosity and loyalty, we have achieved these aims and exceeded our $110 million target by more than $15 million. I'd like to acknowledge the hard work of the staff in the Advancement offices, in particular Development and Donor Relations. Their dedication and professionalism helped to put us over the top. On behalf of all of us, thank you once again for your remarkable support for our students, our faculty researchers and the future of our university.
