Family creates award to honour a teacher who transformed lives
For Savitri Ahuja, educating others was much more than a personal passion and rewarding career. Over the many decades she practised in her birth country of India and adopted country of Canada, teaching was a compassionate act of service to humanity, her way to empower others to improve their circumstances and achieve their dreams.
Helping 'B' students succeed
When it comes to giving to support higher education, Melody Pal (BA '85) says its time to be more inclusive of 'B' students.

Shaping your retirement future
For most people, retirement is tied to a magic age. We often hear ‘when I reach age 65, I want to retire’. For others it could be age 55, 60, or 70. Some may never plan to retire until they are forced to, often by health, or other circumstances.
