Perhaps, but “farewell” is an interesting place to begin.This June, UNB’s 186th graduation, or “Encaenia,” as we call it, took place over the course of several ceremonies. The Faculty of Arts is an old hand at Encaenia: at the first one in 1828, the university’s whole graduating class (there were three of them!) received a BA. We’ve been there at every graduation...

Four weeks to go until... ...the first day of classes! Hard to believe it's only a month away. As we head towards Orientation Week, time travel back to 1998 with us. It was a strange time where you were required to stand in line to register for courses and penny candies were still a thing (pennies were still a thing!!!).
