Read Michael's bio

 When I applied to transfer to Mount Allison, I included a note asking to speak to someone at MtA’s disability services office about disability accommodations that I’d need. I got back a handwritten note that read: “We don’t have a disability services office, but we’ve booked you a meeting with the Dean of Students.” It was this personal touch, and willingness to work with me that convinced me to transfer to MtA, live on campus for the three years that I was there, and that makes me want to stay involved as an alumnus. While I was at Mount Allison, I lived in Edwards House, helped publish the prettiest campus newspaper in Canada, and spent innumerable Saturday mornings wandering the Waterfowl Park. Perhaps not-so-strangely, I remember my professors and what I learned, but not so much the classes I took.

Since graduating from MtA with an Honors Bachelor of Arts in Geography and a Minor in Environmental Studies in 2003, I’ve completed a Master of Science degree in Geography from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey (which is why my vocabulary is full of Americanisms), and a Master of Philosophy degree, also from Rutgers. I have volunteered extensively in social advocacy roles and with vulnerable populations, including with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and Ottawa Victim Services. I have also previously served on the Board of Directors for non-profit organizations including Ottawa Victim Services as Vice-Chair, and the Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society as a Director.

I have worked with the Government of Canada for over a decade, where I currently manage the development of information and data governance policy across the federal government. I have also managed a $500 million per year benefits program for disabled Canadians. Previously, I have held several positions across the federal government, including as a Senior Advisor responsible for federal nuclear emergency planning and response, and managing a COVID-19 related team that engaged industry on the manufacture and retailing of hand sanitizers and hard-surface disinfectants. I have also worked in several other roles, including corporate risk, environmental assessment, and issues management. In addition to working in Ottawa, I have been posted to Iqaluit and Yellowknife. During my three years working and living in the arctic and sub-arctic, I have been trapped in my office by foraging polar bears, given quasi-judicial testimony, and been north of the arctic circle during an actual blizzard. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, being a tourist, obscenely complex puzzles, and convoluted board games.

Read Cathy's bio

Cathy (Brown) is a proud third generation woman graduate of Mount Allison.  Her mother, Eleanor MacNair, is class of 1953, and her grandmother, Gertrude (True) Clarke is class of 1910.  
 
Cathy lived in Palmer, and graduated in 1989 with a BSc in Math and Computer Science.  While on campus, she participated in residence council, the MathCS Club, hosted the Friday morning breakfast show at CHMA, restarted the Shinerama Campaign after it’s absence from Mount A for a number of years, was the student ambassador for the Admissions office and worked the door at just about every beer garden during her time here.  Also active in the community, she was a Brownie and Girl Guide leader during her time at Mount A, and continues her involvement in the Scouting movement even today.  
 
A fellow Palmer resident, nervous about applying for a job in the Alumni/Development office, asked Cathy to accompany her over to a group interview.  At the end of the interview, they were both offered the position as a student caller on Mount A’s first ever Alumni Calling Program.  That chance visit turned into a career.  Cathy spent two years as a student caller, then, after graduation, was hired by the Admissions Office to promote Mount A across the Maritimes.  Subsequently, she was hired by the Development office as Assistant Director of the Annual Fund.  After Mount Allison, she went on to become Director of Development and Campaign Director at Nipissing University in North Bay.  Later positions included Director roles at York University, Sheridan College, Centennial College, Mohawk College, McMaster University and Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.  
 
Active in local alumni gatherings, she continues to encourage alumni participation in events and reunions and always chats to potential students to ask them to consider Mount Allison.  In March 1987, a couple of her fellow Palmer residents talked her into attending a beer garden featuring the Barra MacNeils, which has led to her becoming a “groupie” and she currently runs their fan club group.  Cathy is very much looking forward to her class’s 35th reunion in May 2024 and has already started contacting her classmates!
 
Originally from Fredericton, she grew up in Etobicoke, Ontario and now lives in Oakville, Ontario with her husband Steve.  Summers though have always been spent in the maritimes as her Mom’s family has been in Jacquet River NB since 1850, and her Dad’s family is from the Parlee Beach area.  She couldn’t talk any of her kids, Alex, Tyler, Nick or Caitie into attending Mount A but is hopeful for the (as yet non-existent) grandchildren!
