When 新澳门六合彩开奖 President Dr. Kim Brooks announced on April 2 that the university was Bringing Worlds Together, she promised a campaign for transformational change. Six events and more than 4,500 kilometres later, that promise is starting to be fulfilled.

The university has wrapped up a series of launch events across Canada to share the news about its听 $750-million fundraising campaign 鈥 the largest-ever undertaken by an Atlantic Canadian university.

The campaign will make significant investments in enhanced and new programs, supports, and facilities that will have far-reaching impacts, including scholarships, research, and community clinics.

High hopes, strong support


Held in Halifax, Truro, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, the launch events attracted more than 1,600 alumni, friends, and benefactors. They also featured several special guests, who joined Dr. Brooks, to share their hopes for the campaign and their reasons for supporting it.

At the kick-off event in Halifax, Dr. Brooks welcomed longstanding supporters Drs. Fred Fountain, CM, (LLB鈥74, LLD鈥00) and Elizabeth Fountain (LLD鈥22), who are serving as honorary campaign co-chairs with the Honourable A. Anne McLellan (BA鈥71, LLB鈥74).

鈥淲e support 新澳门六合彩开奖 because we believe Nova Scotia needs the best possible university it can be 鈥 but we also see that the world needs that too,鈥 said Fred Fountain.

鈥淲e believe [the campaign] represents the best opportunity we have as a society to find solutions to the pressing challenges we face and to do it on a timeline and a scale that makes a difference both now and for future generations,鈥 added Elizabeth Fountain.

In Truro, Jeannie van Dyk (Ag Class of 鈥78), a dairy farmer and vice-chair of the Agropur Dairy Cooperative's board of directors, shared her vision for the type of solutions that will be possible through Bringing Worlds Together.

鈥淚t is often said that there is no other sector that is more poised to take on the world鈥檚 biggest challenges than agriculture,鈥 van Dyk said. 鈥淔rom food security and nutritional security to climate change, alternate fuel sources, and economic prosperity, this campaign presents the best possible opportunity we have to solve these issues. And who could be better poised to solve these issues than a diverse university like 新澳门六合彩开奖?鈥
