Maclean’s ranking re"ects focus on student experience UNB placed fourth among Canada’s 15 comprehensive universities in the latest edition of Maclean’s university rankings, two steps up from last year’s rating. When compared to the other 49 Canadian universities, UNB saw signi"cant increases in the Most Innovative University and Leaders of Tomorrow categories, re$ecting our focus on promoting student innovation and leadership.We also made gains in international and pan-Canadian recruitment of students. UNB’s recruitment e!orts across the country have resulted in a four percent increase in the number of Canadian students from outside New Brunswick, contributing to the goal of increasing enrolment of students from other provinces.According to the 2013 rankings, UNB’s Libraries hold top spot nationally in terms of percentage of budget devoted to the libraries, and library holdings per students.We are also devoting more of our budget to scholarships and bursaries, in alignment with the objective of providing "nancial support for all students. UNB moved up three spots in the Best Overall category nationally – taking us closer to our overarching goal to be the best teaching and learning institution in Canada.

BBA Students place third in National Case ConferenceLearning how to analyze business cases helped three business students place third in the Jeux du Commerce (JCD) Central competition hosted by Carleton University in January 2011. Twenty students from the Faculty of Business Administration participated in the competition, which drew students from across Canada.Ashley Hayes, Cody Pyne and Mostafa Shaker were given three hours to analyze a case about a company that was planning to buy out another company in the IT industry. Cody credits their course work in human resources management and business law for their ability to come up with a viable strategy.

U First: Student Recruitment wins one of the inaugural 2012 Macaulay-O’Sullivan Administrative Service and Innovation AwardsU First: Student Recruitment developed three initiatives that were recognized as being innovative, cost-e!ective and e&cient.1. #e Recruitment Geographic Territory

Approach is most o%en found in the private sector. Sales and client services teams are assigned a geographic territory in which to build relationships and increase sales in speci"c target markets.

2. #e ‘Hello UNB’ tour is also based on a private sector model – familiarization tours for travel agents. In UNB’s case, the ‘travel agents’ are high school guidance counselors who can refer prospective students to the university.

3. #e online student recruitment program included the creation of a Facebook fan page and Twitter account, and the “Ideas Unlimited” contest, which awarded cash prizes to high school students whose community project earned the most “likes”.

#e programs have had signi"cant impact on enrolment. #e two-year enrolment objectives were met in one year and "nal Fall enrolment "gures for 2012 have met revenue targets. #e programs also raised UNB’s pro"le, and enhanced our reputation as being customer-service oriented, responsive, innovative and caring about the community.

New enrolment initiativeA three-year pilot project was implemented this year in partnership with U First, Registrar’s O&ce and the VP Academic. #is initiative provides highly motivated students in their senior year of high school the opportunity to take UNB courses along with their high school program. Six Fredericton High School students have enrolled in the program and three are continuing their studies at UNB Fredericton.

#e 46 volunteers in this year’s Information Kiosk Project answered over 1,100 questions during orientation. The six kiosks were located in Marshall d’Avray Hall, SUB, Tilley Hall, Bookstore, IUC Financial Services and Head Hall.

Computer Science houses feel like homeIn Fall 2011, each new incoming undergraduate student in the Faculty of Computer Science was placed into a CS House to compete for the FCS House Cup, which is displayed in the Dean’s O&ce. #e "rst-ever winner of the Cup, Babbage

Year Banquet. Many "rst-year students attended.#e House concept has created a sense of community among undergraduate students, especially "rst year students. Some even formed House study groups at midterm and exam time. Students have started spending more time on campus, hanging out with other members of their House, and morale keeps rising.

Nursing student makes signi!cant contribution to health care educationFourth year nursing student Sasha Bringloe, under Dr. Pat Seaman’s supervision, was awarded funding from the Department of Health to develop three on-line modules about immunizations. These modules are now being used by the UNB Faculty of Nursing and are distributed between one second-year course (Young Families) and one third-year course (Community and Population Health). This was a transformative experience for Sasha because she had the opportunity to develop new skills in program development, and to expand her knowledge about immunizations and Public Health. It will also transform learning opportunities for nursing students enrolled in the UNB courses as they now have access to an interactive New Brunswick specific learning tool.

GOAL: FINANCIAL RESILIENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY

Bi-Campus Online Application UNB launched its new online application service in Fall 2011. #e project partnered ITS, Registrar’s O&ces, Recruitment Units and Graduate Studies. #e new online application lets prospective students start and save an application, access (at their convenience) the status of pending documents and their application status, and noti"es them electronically when an admission decision has been made. #ese new features have dramatically improved our ability to give students timely, accurate information regarding their application, and allow us to o!er a more personalized approach. #e new service has also helped us serve our international applicants more e&ciently. It received high marks when used in China at our On-the-Spot admissions events.
