• Notes

  Source: ABC Alumni Connections, spring, 2004. What’s in a Name?  Atlantic Baptist University has a rich heritage of family connections. Over the years, many generations of families have been represented on the UBBTS/ABC/ABU campus. Currently there is one family in particular wich stands out.  Meet the Cougle family who, together represent each possible year of attendance at ABU. Brianne, is in her fourth year of the psychology program, while her younger brother, Stuart, is a third year biology major. Their cousin, Hilary, is a seconde year history major, and Maradeth the youngest family member at ABU, is in here first year of the biology program.  How did this ordinary Christian family from the small town of Bristol, NB end up dominating ABU? It is a simple story of family connections.  In fact it seems that this story begins over 30 years ago with a woman name Marsha (McIsaac ’73) Cougle who attended Atlantic Baptist College.  “I had such a great experience at ABC that I really encouraged my kids to do the same. Because I talked so much about my days at ABC, my kids really did no think of other places,” said Marsha.  All of Marsha’s encouragement appears to have paid off. With three of her children and one nice already attending ABU, it comes as no surprise to learn that her youngest son Caylen, who will be graduating from high school by the end of the school year, is also applying to ABU. Does the family see anything spectacular about all of them attending ABU at the same time? It doesn’t seem so. Rather, it seems normal for this family, which has always been a close-knit family, to stick together. As Hilary said, “We lived on the same street most of our lives, and always attended the same schools. Why should university be any different?”  The Cougle family, with their strong Christian foundation, and one alumnus who was willing to openly share her inspiring ABC experiences with her family members, is keeping ABU’s rich heritage of family connections alive.
