What a day!
NBA star and philanthropist Pascal Siakam swept through the area on Sept. 3 on his way to collect an honorary doctor of letters at the University of New Brunswick's (UNB) Fredericton campus.
UNB recognized Siakam's outstanding achievements on and off the court. His PS43 Foundation, in partnership with the McKenna Institute, has established scholarships at UNB of up to $8,000 for one year for students from his native Cameroon pursuing programs related to computer science. Several students are already benefiting.
