Take a journey through our first 200+ years.
In that time, we鈥檝e grown from that little聽鈥榗ollege by the sea鈥櫬to a national university, and the leading research university in Atlantic Canada. We've educated prime minsters and trailblazers, and are proud of our more than 90 Rhodes Scholars. We've seen our campus expand with sustainable, state-of-the-art facilities.
We can't wait to see what's next.
