Valedictorian Brandon Saulnier will address spring 2023 graduates in the faculties of computer science and engineering on the Fredericton campus.

“Be bold, be brave, be tenacious and be proud of who you are. Leave UNB a better place than when you found it.” Those are the words valedictorian Brandon has chosen to live by throughout his time at the University of New Brunswick (UNB).

A deeply active member of the UNB community with the desire to positively impact those around him, Brendan has taken these words to heart.

Graduating with a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering with minors in psychology and electrical engineering, he has also obtained a diploma in the university's technology management and entrepreneurship program.

Throughout his undergraduate years, Brandon has sought to enrich his own university experience as well as those around him. He has served as resident assistant for UNB Resident Life, VP external for the Engineering Undergraduate Society, VP services for the Atlantic Council of Engineering Students, VP financial for the Canadian Engineering Competition, academic rep for the Student Society of Mechanical Engineers, project manager for CubeSat NB, writer and photographer for the Atlantic Student Research Journal and co-chair of TEDxUNB 2023.

Brandon will continue his education with a master of science in aerospace engineering.
