Alumni donor spotlight
“I’m passionate about people and community, and giving back to the institution that helped shape my journey in Canada was a natural decision.
I received financial aid during my studies, so I know how mentally and financially draining it can be for students. My donation, no matter how little, can make a meaningful difference.
I believe in the principle of 'paying it forward.' Supporting students not only helps ease their burden but also motivates faculty and staff to keep making a difference. Everyone wins when we invest in the future.”
