TAELYN CARGILL
Student Ambassador
My name is Taelyn Cargill, I use she/her pronouns and I’m from Grand Desert, Nova Scotia. I am in the Math Education program, which is unique to Acadia and lets math students graduate with both a Bachelor of Science in Math and a Bachelor of Education in just 5 years. I hope to graduate with both in 2026. I am a part of the Acadia Math Society and Acadia Rugby Club. I also play flute in the Symphonic Band here on campus. One of my favourite things about Acadia is the community, since it’s a small campus in a small town there’s always connections you make you would never expect. My advice to new students is to join everything you can that interests you! Clubs are a great way to meet new people and make lasting friendships.
ARIKA HILLIER
Student Ambassador
Hey! I'm Arika, my pronouns are she/ her! I am a music student expecting to graduate in 2026 from Sydney Nova Scotia! I love Acadia life, but my favourite part would definitely be the beautiful campus that I get to spend each and every day on! I love the outdoors, seeing my friends, and making music! My best advice to a new student is to not be shy! Meeting new people is scary, but everyone will be in the same situation, so don't be afraid to go say hello!

LILY HULL
Student Ambassador & In-Office Greeter
Hello, my name is Lily, and my pronouns are she/her. My hometown is Hamilton, Ontario. My best advice for new students would be don’t be afraid to ask questions! If you are unsure about something or need clarifications your professors are more than happy to answer them, and it will benefit you in the long run. I am studying Community Development with Environmental Sustainable studies, and my predicted graduating year is 2026. I love Acadia’s small classes and its community! It’s great being able to connect with my professors one-on-one and everyone on campus is very kind and welcoming. I really enjoy doing anything creative, whether it’s drawing, crocheting, or playing an instrument. As cheesy as it sounds, I also love to learn cool science facts and more about our environment!
