Student aid continues to be a major focus.
The emphasis on student aid has attracted a wide community of donors, from alumni to corporations to friends of Arts and Science who wish to honour family members or faculty by endowing an award in their name. Kenneth McNaught was a professor of Canadian history at U of T for more than 25 years. With the establishment of this award, I hope to be able to do my part to help my father achieve his goal. The campaign also presents an ideal opportunity for Arts and Science to re-connect with alumni locally, nationally and internationally. Beyond speaking with alumni in the Toronto area, recent destinations for Dean Carl Amrhein include Israel, where he hosted a reception attended by over 60 alumni and friends, and New York, where he met with several Arts and Science alumni now living and working there.
