OTTAWA, Canada – His Excellency Alvin Smith, Bahamas High Commissioner to Canada, met with Bahamian students and student-support staff at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada, during a recent visit to the university.
Founded in 1838, Acadia is “one of Canada’s oldest and most respected liberal arts universities, with “a long tradition of academic excellence, and creating dynamic, responsible, global leaders,” according to the university’s website.
“While being consistently ranked as one of the top universities in Canada for undergraduate studies, Acadia is a laureate of Washington’s Smithsonian Institution and a part of the permanent research collection of the National Museum of American History,” the website notes. “It is the only Canadian university selected for inclusion in the Education and Academia category of the Computerworld Smithsonian Award.”
With over 50 different nationalities represented on campus, the website states that Acadia “is an institution that encourages and celebrates its diversity while students learn from our strong academic programs taught by award-winning professors.”
