Monumental Success Marks Schulich Giving Day 2023
Thank you to the Schulich community for making Giving Day a milestone success! With a remarkable $291,607 raised, surpassing our goal by 145% and a record number of 422 donors, this was the most ambitious and engaging Schulich Giving Day campaign to date.
“As a proud Schulich alumna I believe it’s important more than ever to invest in tomorrow’s business leaders, ensuring they are prepared to thrive in a world whose only constant is change,” said Anna Ewing (MBA ’88), Honorary Chair, Schulich Giving Day 2023.
This year, Giving Day focused on two key areas: the Highest Priorities Fund, which provides flexibility for innovative student experiences, including Career Readiness, the Schulich Startups Community, and the Schulich Business Excellence Academy (SBEA); and the Schulich Student Support Fund which offers crucial assistance to students facing unexpected financial challenges and global uncertainty.
“Schulich Giving Day is an impact-driven and student-centered initiative that brings together members of the Schulich community each year to support our students,” said Dean Detlev Zwick. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Schulich community, we will continue to provide financial assistance to students in need, create career readiness programs, and support our rapidly growing Schulich Startups community. A sincere thank you to everyone who participated!”
Special thanks to our generous alumni matching donors Peter Mackenzie (MBA ’86) and Kate Zeidler, Marti Morfitt (MBA ’86), Brian Lau (MBA ’91) and Gemma Lau, and the Estate of George Svec (MBA ’69) and Katherine Meaney Svec.
