November 15, 2017
Wednesday, November 15 is National Philanthropy Day, a special day to pay tribute to the impact philanthropy has on our lives and in our communities.
The University of Ontario Institute of Technology would like to thank its donors for opening doors to innovative learning opportunities and providing exceptional support to its students.
In the last year, the generosity of donors provided:
- More than $1.4 million in student support.
- 85 per cent of our students with experiential learning opportunities.
- More than 7,600 square metres of collaborative learning and study spaces in our new Software and Informatics Research Centre.
- Resources for students to create their own businesses and innovative products.
- Events and activities that promote students’ positive health and well-being.
“National Philanthropy Day is a great day to celebrate the work of individuals, corporations and community organizations who give, volunteer and advocate for our students,” says Debbie McGarry, Executive Director, Advancement and Alumni Relations. “Their generosity serves as both motivation and inspiration, helping our students develop into the leaders of tomorrow.”
To learn more about the difference donors have made in the lives of our students, we invite you read our annual Report on Donor Philanthropy.
