UNB S.P.R.I.N.G.

Students Pairing to Reach Individual Needs and Goals (S.P.R.I.N.G.) connects university volunteers and youth with various abilities for a weekly gym-and-swim program at the YMCA. We focus on providing a positive environment to grow physical, social, and cognitive skills. We love starting our Sunday mornings with two hours of non-stop smiles and fun!

UNB International Swim Program

We are a club of hard-working students committed to providing free swim-safety lessons to newcomers in Fredericton. We work closely with the Multicultural Association of Fredericton to connect with families new to the city who would like to learn basic swimming survival skills they would not have known otherwise. We provide a comfortable teaching environment on campus, as well as many translators on deck to ease the teaching process. We strive to connect these newcomers to the Fredericton community.

UNB Woodsmen Team

The UNB Woodsmen Team bring students from different faculties, countries and backgrounds together to compete in logger sports. Our team practices every weekday from 6:20am to 8:00am which contributes to our drive, determination, commitment and dedication to the team. University is a new chapter in most peoples lives and trying something new like logger sports is an opportunity only provided at two schools in New Brunswick. This opportunity allows students to create memories, friendships from multiple faculties, practice self discipline and better ourselves. This team contributes a positive outlook on old traditions in a modern setting a UNB.

Kinesiology Society

UNB Kin Society is a society ran by students in the faculty for students. We intend to create inclusive and assessable events for all members of the faculty to be able to come out to. We create unique events that touch on all parts of the faculty and ensure the opportunity for involvement at these events. As the UNB Kinesiology Society we plan to excite members of the faculty and promote health and wellness as well as student excitement and fun!

Enactus UNB

Enactus UNB joined the international organization of Enactus in 2016. We find problems in the community and solve them with entrepreneurial action. On behalf of UNB we have organized financial literacy workshops for high school students, collected compost from meal hall to decrease waste, taught university students the process of stocks, and created a summer program for children with interests in owning their own business. Enactus UNB has grown exponentially over the past couple of years and has brought home multiple regional awards and an award at the national level for UNB.

Engineering Undergraduate Society

The UNB Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS) represents all undergraduates of the Faculty of Engineering on a local and national level and provides a number of services. The society helps make the university experience more enjoyable with the fabulous events or helping expose students to conferences and engineering competitions. Some of the services we provide include: free coffee mondays, Engineering Paper offered at cost, free report binding, food bag pickup, engineering Book Buy & Sells. Some of the events we run include: Pillar Pubs, Engineering Frostival, Wellness Events, Iron Pin Ceremony, Shadow Day, Orientation, UNBSJ Transition day.

Beneath The Lab Coat

Engaging the student population with the innovative research that is present around them is what we aspire to do. We want to connect students with researchers and scientists across New Brunswick and help educate more people about the vital work that is being done by student researchers at the undergraduate, masters and upper levels. We give students a literal voice by helping them to engage in topics that they are interested in. The club has helped students start podcasts and radio shows to discuss important research topics as well as participate in research conferences. Being able to connect with other like minded people and developing your communication skills are vital within research and we hope to help students do this through speech.

Atlantic Student research journal

For over two years, the Atlantic Student Research Journal (ASRJ) has strived to develop the student-researcher network within Atlantic Canada. This year alone, the ASRJ has held two seminar series and an incredible conference dedicated to achieving this mission which has impacted over 200 UNB students. In addition, the ASRJ has featured UNB students and alumni via online articles, research awards and more! The ASRJ has continually sought to connect eager students to professionals with an academic background, an area that often goes unregarded but can have profound impact.
