Share your UNB alumni pride this holiday season!
In the spirit of the upcoming holidays and supporting ‘local,’ we’ve created a gift guide to help you find unique gifts for the special people in your life. Along with UNB swag items, this list highlights exciting products and businesses by our very own #ProudlyUNB alumni. Around the world, UNB alumni are creating, innovating and contributing exciting things to their communities.

Do you have a business or product of your own, or know a fellow UNB graduate who we should know about? We’d love to hear from you! As we continue to build an inventory of alumni-owned businesses and share their wonderful stories, we invite you to reach out to submit your business or product.
