Help Make History Today

Published: 23 March 2011

Last year, thanks to the tremendous generosity of alumni, our Annual Fund reached $875,000, which supported students and professors at the Desautels Faculty of Management. This was truly an outstanding achievement given the difficult economic climate.

In order to uphold and enhance our expected international standards of excellence, we have elevated our goal to $1,000,000 this year. This is equivalent to an annual payout from a $20M endowment. With only one month left, we need your help to make this goal a reality.

The Annual Fund supports new student services and opportunities, thereby enhancing the education and experience our students receive and better preparing them for life post-graduation. Every gift makes a difference in the lives of our students. For example:

·         Gifts of $750 – support activities that enable students to build relationships with the business community, including career fairs, company tours, workshops and networking events

·         Gifts of $1,500 – subsidize a workshop, in which 2nd year students lead interactive sessions with 1st year students

·         Gifts of $2,500 – fund non-remunerated student internships with non-governmental or non-profit agencies
