Bruce Mitchell, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션™68, DSc'20, is helping Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s, one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션™s leading research universities, bolster research capacity and volume to make groundbreaking discoveries that will deepen our knowledge of people, the planet, and universe.

The business leader and philanthropist is making a transformative gift of $30 million to his alma mater with the goal of increasing research intensity and supporting graduate student recruitment.

"The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s community is grateful for Bruce카지노 게임 컬렉션™s generosity and his commitment to research," says Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane. "This generous gift provides us with the resources to help achieve our bold research goals in part, through the support of top researchers.
