During the ceremony, two organizations were invested into the Order of the Chancellor; both organizations achieved a higher rank. The Order of the Chancellor was instituted in 2004 to recognize the contribution of associations, religious communities, businesses, foundations and municipalities that provide Université de Moncton with outstanding financial support. The name of the Order reflects the role of the chancellor, who represents the Université in a personal, visible and fundamental manner and symbolizes its function, spirit and unity.
As well, five people were invested into the Order of Regents. The Order of Regents was instituted by the Board of Governors in 1994 to bring together and recognize the contributions of people who provide significant financial support to Université de Moncton. The name of the Order reflects the important founding role played by the members of the Office of Regents during the first years of existence of Université de Moncton. The Office of Regents was precursor to the current Board of Governors.
In total, these individuals, organizations and businesses committed to donating close to $320,000 to Université de Moncton. These donations contribute to the vitality of the Université and offer tremendous support, especially to students, thus fostering a better student experience.
