Honour the memory of someone special by making a gift that creates a meaningful and enduring impact. Memorial awards offer a heartfelt way to recognize a friend, family member, or colleague while supporting the values and passions that mattered most to them.<\/p>\n

Many choose to honor their loved ones by supporting areas that reflect their passions – whether in the Faculty of Engineering and Design, School of Journalism and Communications, Athletics, or across campus-wide initiatives. These gifts enrich the student experience and create a meaningful legacy that continues to inspire.<\/p>\n

You can contribute to an existing fund or establish a new named fund in tribute to your loved one. Friends and family are welcome to join in giving, and every donor will receive an official donation receipt.<\/p>\n
