Acadia gave me a chance. I think that’s the number one thing that I’m trying to do with the awards program: just give people a chance. At the end of the day, w...hen the profs had taught me what they could and I had learned what I could, it was up to me. That’s what I’m giving the students, and hopefully also giving Acadia a chance to attract the students who want to go there. #CampaignforAcadia Cabinet member Kevin Mullen (’86), founder and president of Empire Kitchen and Bath, and Empire Custom Homes.

The notion of family and taking care of one another are threads that are woven through the fabric of #AcadiaU’s illustrious 182-year history. One family in particular has had a significant and enduring impact, tending carefully to the University’s students, faculty and staff while quietly establishing itself as Acadia’s most generous benefactors: the Arthur Irving family of Saint John, NB. #WhatDonorsDo #CampaignforAcadia #ThankYou
