The four-storey, art deco building, constructed in the 1920s and operated by Scotiabank since 1940, is situated in Saint John’s heritage district and is considered a signature building in Saint John’s Uptown. The announcement of the gift was made during UNB Saint John’s gala 40th anniversary dinner in October. “When thinking about the future of this building, Saint John’s growth strategy was top of mind for us,” said Peter Bessey (BBA’86), the bank’s district vice-president, West New Brunswick. “We believe the University of New Brunswick Saint John will play a vital role in the community growth strategy and that having an Uptown presence will impact the broadest range of people.” UNB Saint John is grateful for Scotiabank’s donation of its building. It will allow UNB Saint John a greater presence in the Uptown in close proximity to many of its community partners. The university’s commitment to the social, cultural, and economic development of Saint John will be well represented at this impressive physical location. “We applaud the strategic vision of Scotiabank for making a donation that provides tangible benefits to both the university and the community,” said Dr. Kathryn Hamer, vice-president UNB Saint John. “This foresight recognizes UNB’s unique role as a public institution and the important relationship we have with our community.

And please register as early as possible, most importantly because seating at some of our premiere events will be limited, and tickets will be going on a first-come, first-served basis. All of what you need to know about Homecoming 2005, which is being presented by your UNB Associated Alumni and its co-partner, the UNB Varsity Reds, is on the next four pages. Our program is to the right. A list of our small groups appears on pages 16 and 17. Check out the list and see if a group you were affiliated with is there, and, if so, jump on board. And if your group isn’t there, seize the bull by the horns and get your own small group going. Just contact Barb MacMullin, at (506) 447-3371, [email protected]. For information on Faculty Fest, a list of faculty-based activities, planned for the afternoon of Friday, July 29, see page 17. We’ve also arranged for special Homecoming 2005 rates at local hotels and motels (including the UNB residence system). See page 18. We’re confident Homecoming 2005 will have something to offer each of you, not the least of which is the opportunity to return to the Fredericton campus to re-connect with old friends and the university itself. We’ll be offering such long-time traditions as the Maritime Lobster Boil Friday evening and the Golden Grad Dinner Saturday evening, as well as some innovations, such as the Proudly UNB Award Luncheon Saturday, where we’ll be unveiling our expanded alumni recognition program. See page 24. We’ll also have plenty of ways to entertain you. At Homecoming 2000, the ever-popular Sons of Maxwell real- ly had the Big Tent rocking after the lobster boil on Friday evening.

18 • UNB ALUMNI NEWS WINTER 2005 Photos: Alumni News Saturday evening’s dinner theatre was a sold-out attraction at the Thomas J. Condon Student Centre. 400 take part in UNBSJ’s Celebration ’04 events hey came to golf, they came to Tdance, they came to dinner – and discovered a treasure trove of alumni talent. Best of all, they simply came back. Some 400 UNB Saint John alumni and friends came out to share in the celebration of 40 years of UNBSJ during Celebration ’04 Sept. 10-12. Staged by the Saint John Alumni Action Team of the UNB Associated Alumni, Celebration ’04 is being touted as a major success by both organizers and attendees. From Friday’s sold-out golf tournament through Sunday’s Back- To-Campus finale, everything went off without a hitch. Attending the dinner theatre were, from left, Derrick Forret (BPE’90), Mary Duffley, Trevor Pierce (BBA’02), Charlotte McGill As expected, Saturday evening’s dinner theatre proved the (BBA’98, BEd’03), Sheena Buckley, and Skeeter Buckley (BBA’99). hit of the weekend as an impressive collection of alumni and student talent turned back the clock and took the capacity crowd on a 40-year journey through the history of SJ. Narrated by a collection of familiar voices (echoes of lec- tures past), the story was ably guided by “The Voice of God” who sounded – to no one’s surprise – a lot like Dr. Tom Condon. The Saint John Alumni Action Team extends thanks to the organizing committee and all who supported Celebration ’04, in particular the many generous sponsors who made it all possible. Those sponsors included UNB Saint John, Meloche Monnex, Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales, Moosehead Breweries, Labatt, Manulife Financial, Tempo Framing, Delta Brunswick Hotel, MBNA Canada Bank, Above, action committee Lawson & Creamer, Ganong Bros.

The event is organized by Mark Newell (BEd’86, CAUS’87) of Lindsay. This year there were 22 golfers at the tournament, with the oldest basketball alumni from the Class of ’60.

WINTER 2005 UNB ALUMNI NEWS • 21 ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES Alumni group tours Bhutan A group of UNB alumni spent almost two weeks in Bhutan during the fall on a tour organized by the UNB Associated Alumni and which included UNB President John McLaughlin and was led by Associated Alumni Director Mark Hazlett. In the group shot at top right are, seated from the left, Ruth Doyle (MEd’91), Susan Sharpe, Ann Devereaux (BN’70), Anne Pond (BN’89), and Cathy Beach (BN’68). Standing, from left, are William S. (Bill) Lewis (BScEE’62, DLitt’01), John McLaughlin, Mark Hazlett, W. Anderson (Andy) Devereaux (BScEE’71, BA’73, DLitt’98), Patrick Hanlon, Wayne Beach (BA’68), Gerald Pond (BA’66, DLitt’04), David Ganong (BBA’65), Diane Ganong, Maggie McLaughlin (BA’72, BEd’73), Dawn Sharpe (BScCE’64) and Nancy Strickland (BEd’90). In addition to touring all over the Himalayan Mountains kingdom, the group also had an audience with Bhutan’s Crown Prince Dasho Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk. In the photo at bottom right, Mr. Ganong, and Dr. and Mrs. McLaughlin present the Crown Prince with a hand-crafted wooden bowl. The bowl was a gift to the Crown Prince, who is the Chancellor of the Royal University of Bhutan, from UNB Chancellor Richard Currie. The bowl was crafted from yellow birch by Neil Hood, a retired Royal Canadian Navy sailor who lives in Cross Creek Station, just outside Stanley, N.B. UNB has had a long relationship, particularly through the faculty of education, with Bhutan. Approximately 60 Bhutanese have graduated from UNB, and many now occupy positions of prominence within the government, education and business sectors in Bhutan. The alumni tour group met more than half our Bhutanese alumni during the course of the trip. The group also was fortunate to be accompa- nied during portions of their visit by Ms. Strickland, who has lived and worked in the field of education in Bhutan for 15 years. She was instru- mental on several occasions in arranging meetings and visits for members of the tour group, and proved to be an invaluable resource. On behalf of our alumni tourists, the Associated Alumni extends its deep appreciation and thanks to Ms. Strickland.

22 • UNB ALUMNI NEWS WINTER 2005 ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES Alumni/Alumnae award $90,000 to students

he UNB Associated Alumni and the UNB Associated TAlumnae have distributed $89,955 to 112 UNB students under their 2004-05 scholarships and awards program. The awards were made to students on both the Fredericton and Saint John campuses. The Associated Alumni and Associated Alumnae have been helping students through scholarships and awards for decades, primarily through their Alumni Entrance Scholarships, Alumni/Alumnae Undergraduate Scholarships and Alumni Merit Awards. The top awards presented were the Alumni Council Leadership Awards, which go to students who demonstrate leadership at the university and in the community. This year’s leadership awards, valued at $2,385 each, or half a year’s tuition, were awarded to Nicholas Ouellette, a third-year bachelor of computer science student on the Fredericton campus, Melissa Persaud, a third-year bachelor of science student on the Fredericton campus and Brendan Sheehan, a fourth-year bachelor of science student on the Saint John campus. Mr. Ouellette has dedicated his academic career to bene- fiting student life. In 2003, he became an educational proctor for Neville House and continued that role this year. He is responsible for mentoring and supporting the students who Photo: Alumni News live in this residence, focusing on academic and all-around UNB Associated Alumni Awards Committee Chair Heather Neilson, well being.

Leaving a Legacy When the Fredericton Branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) received a bequest from the Estate of Dr. Ottis Logue (BScEE’46, MScEE’54, DSc’96), they decided to donate this unique gift to UNB to establish a scholarship in memory of Ottis’s wife Marjorie (BSc’41, MSc’46). As Marjorie was a long-time member of the CFUW and a founder of their annual book sale, establishing a scholarship in her honor seemed fitting. The book sale, started in 1964, continues to the present day and has raised thousands of dollars for scholarships for women at UNB Fredericton. The CFUW also has a chapter in Saint John that provides scholarships for women on the Saint John campus. This thoughtful gift from the CFUW will serve as a reminder of this charming lady and her dedication to scholarship. You can leave your own legacy.
