The Fund took root and grew through periods in which McGill faced financial crises, capital expansion, student activism and political turmoil. As its 50th anniversary is celebrated, the Alma Mater Fund will continue to help ensure that McGill offers a quality education. While she is the first woman and first francophone chair of the Fund, she doesn't see that as a big deal. There's a personal advantage to it as well. Your degree is only as good as your institution is today, and its reputation can only be helped by private support.
Private support is the real source of our distinction.
