Sc'82 class gift funds Tea Room renovation at Queen's
Most members of the Class of Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션82 have never visited 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a student-run, environmentally friendly coffee shop that opened in 2006.
So it might come as a surprise that members of Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션82 are making a class gift of $70,000 to renovate the cafe in Beamish-Munro Hall.
Why did Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션82 alumni make a major donation to a cafe many of them have not visited?
Class President Don MacDiarmid says the gift is about engineering alumni supporting engineering students.
카지노 게임 컬렉션If The Tea Room is important to students, it is important to my classmates,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. MacDiarmid.
Sc'82 has established two funds to support current engineering students. One is an endowment for student awards, while the other supports special projects to enhance the undergraduate education of engineering students. The class decided to support The Tea Room after a recommendation from the Dean of Engineering카지노 게임 컬렉션s office and a presentation from The Tea Room staff.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We see our endowment as funding the extras that might not be covered by regular faculty spending,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. MacDiarmid. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The students made a very polished funding request document that I circulated to about 25 members of my class for input. They were universal in their support.카지노 게임 컬렉션
