Transformational campaigns begin with a vision, a view of the future thatwill excite and engage potential donors and the community at large. Thevision of ‘A World of Opportunity’ Campaign was inspired by leaders withinThe University and its Foundation, who have delivered a successful Campaignand new energy.

Last year, we reported to you the Foundation had surpassed the $70 milliongoal for ‘A World of Opportunity’ Campaign. As we begin planning the finalstages of the Campaign this year, we are also planning the way forward,with a clear vision of how the Capital Campaign has and will continue totransform The University of Winnipeg and its campus.

The role of the leaders, staff and volunteers within this vision has been tobuild strong relationships and demonstrate corporate and personal integrityand accountability. The Foundation remains cautious and prudent, knowingthe potential exists for another global economic meltdown. Toxic debts andbankrupt countries continue to influence markets. Through challengingtimes, the Foundation has proven resilient, able to set a high bar and exerciseconsiderable flexibility in responding to the University’s evolving needs.

‘The A World of Opportunity’ Campaign has achieved unprecedented results:support of students through scholarships and bursaries, investment inacademic programs, construction of buildings and development ofinfrastructure for advanced research and teaching facilities, and ability toraise the profile of The University of Winnipeg.

These accomplishments are part of the incredible legacy of the Campaign,whose success is attracting new donors every day.

The University of Winnipeg’s ‘A World of Opportunity’ Capital Campaign is nearing completion.The generous support of our many donors has allowed our University to continue to grow in amanner that benefits not only our students, but also our community as a whole. Through excitingnew developments like the establishment of new first-class facilities, development of newacademic programs and a strengthened student award base, the success of the Campaign isopening doors to academic excellence that will nurture the growth of our institution and ourstudents for years to come.

With the support of our donors, including our alumni, faculty, staff, administrators, all threelevels of government, campus suppliers and corporate friends, The University of Winnipeg hasovercome many of the economic challenges it faced due to the market downturn. It has beenthis commitment to our institution that has allowed us to reach outstanding goals in continuingour extensive campus development plans. I’d like to highlight a few of these exceptional developments.

August 2011 will see the launch of our new Master’s in Development Practice which will connectstudents to an international network of 22 universities. This graduate level program will provideonline global classrooms that will train aspiring development practitioners to understand andmanage global sustainable challenges across health sciences, natural sciences, social sciencesand management disciplines. MDP graduates will be versed in a holistic process with the skillsto work with anyone, anywhere in the world.

The construction of the new Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex willcreate opportunities for study and research in fields of growing importance. This state of the artbuilding, opening on June 27th, will give our scholars access to modern facilities equipped todeal with contemporary studies in a variety of scientific domains and will allow our University toremain on the cutting edge.

The University of Winnipeg believes in giving back to the community. Our Community Learningmodel offers inner-city summer eco-camps and mentoring programs that provide access toUWcomputer labs and other resources. We also share our newly renovated fitness facility withnearby office workers and residents. Free public lectures and Skywalk Concerts, conferences,workshops and computer access have now become part of the fabric of campus life at our University.

An integral part of our Community Learning model is the Opportunity Fund, an initiative createdby The University of Winnipeg to invest in the dreams of our local youth. This innovative fund,unique among Canadian Universities, will ensure that everyone, regardless of background andsocio-economic status has access to higher education and personal development.

I would like to thank you, our committed donors, for your generous support towards the developmentof these projects.

2010 Roger and Kathleen Graham Scholars Dinner

The Roger and Kathleen Graham Scholars Dinner has become one of the Foundation’s premiere donorstewardship events. Hosted by Class of ’41 alumnus Mrs. Kathleen Birchall, this annual dinner is an inspiringgathering of recipients of the Roger and Kathleen Graham Scholarship in History and English, extraordinarystudents all, and their families.

Keeley McFadden, currently in her secondyear at The University of Winnipeg andpursuing an English degree focused increative writing, was welcomed as thenewest member of the community ofGraham Scholars.

established scholarships at severalinstitutions across Canada, traveling to eachcentre to present the scholarship and hosta special event, annually. She keeps inregular communication with all her Grahamscholars, saying, “Being a donor givesmeaning and purpose to my life.”

In addition to her scholarship, Mrs. Birchall has established a planned gift as part of her incredible legacy.The University of Winnipeg Foundation is truly grateful for Kathleen Birchall’s ongoing commitment toeducation and learning.

United College Graduate Inspires StudentsJoan Baragar, a Winnipeg writer and 1955 graduate of UnitedCollege, caught the bug to write at an early age. Now, shehopes to assist students at The University of Winnipeg thathave already been infected with the same longing to write.

“I first got the desire to write in high school when an exchangeteacher from Wisconsin told me I had the skill to be a writer,”says Baragar. “She put the fire in my belly.”

In 2008, the Joan (Black) Baragar Fine Tuning Scholarshipin English was created by Baragar to recognize passion, skill, and excellence in writtenEnglish. She hopes it will give students confidence in their ability to write and to practicetheir craft.

While Baragar attended United College, she says she found herself surrounded by people thatthought or felt like she did and it became a “coming out” time that was an amazing experience.

“I met more friends in University than ever before in my life,” says Baragar. “A lot ofgrowing went on there.”

At United College, she participated in stunt nights, sang in choirs, won a prize at a DramaFestival, entered special events such as "G -Day" (when the students wore academicgowns and the profs didn't) - and won a French medal at her grad in 1955. Baragar wrotefor several projects at United College, including The Uniter, in addition to writingacademically and personally.

“Writing is a bug. It’s something you have to do.”

Each year, one student majoring in English during their second- or third-year, is selectedto receive this scholarship after writing a short story, essay or part of a first novel. Afterthe scholarship recipient is selected, Baragar likes to meet with the student to discusstheir other works. Last year, the scholarship was awarded to Justina Elias, who describedJoan as generous, thoughtful and kind.

“The story I wrote for the scholarship explored a young girl's experience with grief, andsince Baragar has worked with children before, her insights on that topic were reallyhelpful,” says Justina. “I was also touched that she asked to see more of my writing. Afew months ago I sent her three more short stories of mine that demonstrated some of myrange in style and subject. She promptly responded with thanks and constructive criticism.”

Baragar hopes the students that are awarded the scholarship will be “set free” to writeand continue it as a lifelong practice.

The Jeff Babb Scholarship in Statistics

That’s how Jeff Babb, Acting Chair, Departmentof Mathematics and Statistics, describes returningto The University of Winnipeg in September 2000. Babb graduated from the University in 1978 witha B.Sc. in Mathematics and throughout his earlycareer taught evening classes in Mathematicsand Statistics at the campus.

Babb moved to Edmonton in 1978, where he earned his M.Sc. in Mathematical Statistics from the Universityof Alberta. He also worked with the International Development Research Centre and with Alberta Hospitalsand Medical Care. While there, Babb was offered a position at the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) in Winnipeg.

He jumped at the opportunity and the “free trip home” and in 1982, began his sixteen-year career offeringstatistical support in the Grain Research Laboratory of the CGC. During this time, Hatem Howlader, UWProfessor, asked Babb if he would be interested in teaching an evening class at the University; Babbaccepted, and from 1989-1999 he taught several courses including Introductory Statistics, Survey Samplingand Linear Algebra.

In September 1998, Babb accepted a position at The University of Manitoba providing statistical consultingservices and teaching upper level statistics. In September 2000, he officially joined the Department ofMathematics and Statistics at The University of Winnipeg.

Babb’s relationship with the University is longstanding and it shows in his commitment to the institution,as faculty, and in his dedication to his students.

In the Spring of 2008, with an aim to support 3rd and 4th yearstudents in his department, Babb established the Jeff BabbScholarship in Statistics.

Babb set out on a five-year plan to build his Scholarship to$10,000 and in less than 3 years, thanks to matching supportfrom the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative, hisaward has reached endowment level.

Through payroll deduction and periodic trips to the Foundation,to personally deliver additional donations to top up his fund, Jeff Babb’s award can now go to work helpingstudents studying in his field at The University of Winnipeg.

“I liked taking the walk over to the Foundation. It was great if you were having a bad day – giving awaymoney has a way of making you feel better.”

Babb intends to build his fund to a level that will one day support 2 or 3 students. In addition to establishingan endowed fund, Babb also contributed to the ‘A World of Opportunity’ Capital Campaign with a generousdonation to the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex.

From aspiring student to dedicated faculty member to model donor, Babb has given back to his alma materin many ways and through his actions is setting an example for future alumni and friends of The Universityof Winnipeg.

Jeff Babb, Acting Chair, Department of Mathematics and Statistics

“It was like going home, itwas comfortable here.”

“So many students at this levelwork two or three jobs while

attending full time classes. As afaculty member, I’d like to seethem concentrating on theirstudies instead of wearing

themselves out. ”

UWRA Scholarship Provides Funding For ReturningUWinnipeg Students

In February 2010, the University of Winnipeg Retirees Association (UWRA) established a Scholarship tosupport a gifted returning student who had completed a minimum of 60 credit hours and who haddemonstrated a record of community volunteerism.

The UWRA created a special Campaign Committee which included Dr. Robert Young (History Department),Dr. Rais Khan (Politics Department), Dr. Carol Harvey (Literature, French Studies), and UW alumnus andformer Associate Vice-President (Finance and Administration), Mr. Stephen Coppinger.

In a recent interview, Coppinger and Young explained whyso many UWinnipeg retirees had been prepared to give backto their institution, and offered some very personal reasonswhy they themselves decided to donate both time and moneyto this cause. Young, who had a forty year career in the Historydepartment and is currently Past-President of the UWRA, washimself a beneficiary of scholarships as an undergraduatestudent, and understands the importance of investing inauspicious academic talent. Equally important, his three children are graduates of The University of Winnipeg,as are the children of the other three committee members.

The UWRA membership, Coppinger remarked, had been unanimous in its resolve to recognize volunteerwork as well as academic performance. “Candidates for the UWRA Scholarship should have a record ofvolunteerism and be involved in student leadership,” Coppinger stated.

Coppinger and Young also pointed out the significance of 60 completed credit hours.

This specification allows for promising undergraduate students in their third or fourth year to receivefinancial support. While a large number of existing scholarships and bursaries are allocated for enteringstudents, the UWRA Scholarship is designed to support third- and fourth-year students, for which thereare fewer funds available.

They also emphasized that while the Scholarship carriedthe name of the UWRA, it was explicitly designed to“commemorate the countless years of dedicated serviceprovided by all former UWinnipeg faculty and staff.”

Financial contributions to the UWRA Scholarship rolledin after the UWRA Campaign Committee issued anappeal for support in April and May of 2010. Allocationsfrom the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative(MSBI) were added to gifts made by retirees.

Thanks to a large number of generous retirees who donated funds, the Scholarship quickly surpassed theminimum endowment level, with the first award being made in 2010-2011 in the amount of $950.

The UWRA Campaign Committee is currently in the process of establishing a Bursary to support returningUWinnipeg students with demonstrated financial need.

The University of Winnipeg Retirees Association Executive: Mr. Martin Robson, Secretary; Ms Jane Barske, Past-President;Dr. Robert Young, President; Dr. Annabelle Mays, Member-at-Large; Mr. Steve Coppinger, Treasurer

“Candidates for the UWRAScholarship should have a

record of volunteerism and beinvolved in student leadership,”

Coppinger stated.

The Grace O’Farrell Scholarship

“The University of Winnipeg is my home. It’s not just a place to work, but a huge part of how I identifymyself,” says Grace O’Farrell, Instructor, Department of Business and Administration. “I feel what I domakes a difference, and what we do makes a difference in people’s lives.”

O’Farrell’s relationship with the University began in 1987 as a student taking night courses, while workingfull-time. She says she enjoyed the student experience at The University of Winnipeg and now, as a UWFaculty member, tries to create that same positive experience. Coming full circle, O’Farrell now instructssome of the night classes offered by her department and feels it is important that students have the sameopportunity she had.

In 2005, O’Farrell established the O’Farrell Scholarship for students in the Faculty of Business and Economics,Business and Administration program. She was inspired to make a gift after hearing a presentation byUniversity of Winnipeg Foundation President and CEO, Susan Thompson.

“I had no idea the impact one person could make. After listening to Susan speak, a light bulb went off.”

After realizing she didn’t need a lot of seed money to start a fund, O’Farrellbegan making contributions. Through payroll deductions, she built herscholarship fund to $10,000.

This year, she renewed her commitment to the fund by extending herpledge with an additional $4,000. The O’Farrell Scholarship Fund wasalso fortunate to receive matching monies through the ManitobaTraining and Initiative Fund.

After making the decision to leave a generous bequest to TheUniversity, O’Farrell was also welcomed as a member of the Universityof Winnipeg Foundation’s Legacy Circle, recognizing individualswho have made provision for future gifts to the University.

O’Farrell’s commitment to her alma mater and its students doesnot go unrecognized. This year, she was awarded the firstever Outstanding Faculty Award, as chosen by the studentsfrom the Faculty of Business and Economics.

“I love to teach, and if I’m not having fun,neither are my students,” says O’Farrell.“I love seeing a student’s progression.When they graduate, they are acompletely different person. A wellrounded individual.”

Her contributions to the University extendfar beyond her exceptional commitment tostudents and the financial support sheoffers. O’Farrell dedicates volunteer timeto a number of University committees andboards, including The University ofWinnipeg Board of Regents and UniversitySenate Committee.

Generous Gift Feeds StudentsThanks to a generous donation from Jennifer and Mary Roblin and The Burns Family Fund through TheWinnipeg Foundation, The University of Winnipeg's Diversity Food Services is providing nutritious after-school snacks to school students of all ages who attend the after-school Let's Talk Science and HomeworkClub at the University of Winnipeg's Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre.

The generosity of Jennifer and her mother Mary and the Burns FamilyFund donation of $36,000 will ensure that the program will continuewell into the future providing stability for the homework club.

Jennifer had the opportunity to see the impact her joint gift is making,first hand, when she visited the program in April. The studentspresented her with a very special dreamcatcher, and surrounded her for a giant group hug. The gift cameabout after Jennifer’s first visit to the Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre where she noticed the childrenonly had dried up granola bars and hot chocolate to snack on.

“How do you learn with nothing to eat after school?” says Jennifer. “I’m a mother. I can’t do much, but Ican help here.”

This meaningful partnership between the University's Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre, Diversity, andthese generous funders, will significantly impact the broader community and help young students develophabits that will continue to inform their food choices well beyond their years at the homework club.

“Many of these students come straight from school to participate in the Let's Talk Science and HomeworkClub and arrive at the Centre hungry. Thanks to Jennifer and her Mom, Mary, along with The Burns FamilyFund, we will be able to provide them with a nutritious and delicious snack before they head into hoursof homework and learning,” says Dina Ducharme, Program Facilitator at the Wii Chiiwaakanak LearningCentre. “Young people find focusing on mental activities easier if they have eaten something nutritious.”

Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre is a community drop-in centre facilitated by UWinnipeg, made possiblethrough private donations. The centre provides Aboriginal youth and their families with access to computers,mentors and Elders' teaching and sharing circles, as well as fun movie nights. Student volunteers from theUniversity assist neighbourhood children with homework after school. Approximately 2,000 people accessthe centre monthly.

Giving Back to Life on Campus

Many of Ken Grower’s fondest memories at The University of Winnipeg came from his time in residenceat Graham Hall. Originally from St. Claude, Manitoba, Ken graduated from The University of Winnipeg witha Bachelor of Arts in History in 1970. Reflecting upon his days in residence, Ken recalls numerous enjoyableexperiences he had during his stay. Along with his fellow housemates, Ken found entertainment in various

activities such as intramural sports, going to hockeygames, and trips to the local drive-in for dinner.However, it was attending a formal dinner in RiddellHall during his second year that changed his life. It wasthere that he met the love of his life, Marjorie, who isalso a graduate from The University of Winnipeg (BA ’71).

“The men came in from Graham Hall and the womenfrom Sparling,” recalls Ken. “Marjorie just happened to sit down across from me. A few weeks later, wewent on our first date to a Gordon Lightfoot concert.”

Marjorie Grower’s own ties extend beyond her days at The University of Winnipeg and staying in SparlingHall. Her father, Frederick Westwood, also graduated from the University with a Bachelor of Arts in 1936and lived in the Wesley Hall residence where he was the UW Student Association Senior Stick. Mr.Westwood was also known for recounting fond memories of his days in residence.

The University of Winnipeg’s Doors and Windows Campaign was launched in 2007 with an aim to providecomfortable and affordable living arrangements for students while they pursue higher education. McFeetorsHall: Great-West Life Student Residence, opened in September 2009, serves as a home away from home,for over 200 University of Winnipeg students, to share memorable experiences and build lifelong friendships.The residence is a modern state-of-the-art facility that contributes to The University of Winnipeg’s continuousgrowth and further solidifies its place as one of the leading educational institutions in Canada.

In recognition of their generous contributions, Ken and Marjorie Grower, along with James Westwood(Marjorie’s brother) have placed a plaque in memory of Frederick S. Westwood outside of a double roomin McFeetors Hall.

The Growers have also donated to the campaign with Ken’s roommate, from his days in Graham Hall and1970 UWSA President, George Van Den Bosche (B.Sc. ’69). They too, have a plaque placed, in their honour,outside of a single room in the new residence.

It is only through the philanthropy of generousindividuals like Ken, Marjorie, James andGeorge, that projects of this magnitudeare made possible.

Bravo to Canwest Centre’s many donors for an outstanding performance ofgenerosity. The Big Seat Sale launched in October, 2009, by the outsizedenthusiasm of CJOB’s Hal Anderson and Doug Speirs of the Winnipeg FreePress, was a complete sell out and tremendous success.

Since our last report to you, the seats have been designed, manufacturedand delivered to the Theatre and just before the holidays, in December 2010,the seats, with donor’s names on gold plaques, were installed. The scarletof the seats against the black box of the surrounding Theatre, adds to thedrama of the room.

The Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film, whose recent renovations weremade possible through the generosity of the Asper family, is occupied every day of the year – with students,faculty and staff, audiences attending performances and third-party organizations renting the theatre for events.

Tim Babcock, Chair of the Faculty of Theatre and Film is happy to report the Theatre surpassed rental projectionsby 300% in the first year. Theatre students and outside organizations renting the Theatre make full use of dancestudios, classrooms, prop-making shop, costume making and make-up facilities, film and sound editing labs.

The completion of the Theatre seat project enhances the Centre’s reputationas one of Canada’s foremost Theatre schools and burnishesWinnipeg’s reputation as the cultural centre of Canada.

University of Winnipeg’s H. Sanford RileyCentre for Canadian HistoryAbraham J. Arnold, A Great Historian

An accomplished journalist, advocate for human rights and avid historian withsignificant ties to The University of Winnipeg passed away earlier this year.Abraham J. Arnold died peacefully on January 28, 2011, leaving to mournhis passing his wife of 66 years Bertha, a son, a daughter, six grandchildrenand eight great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by a daughter.

Born and raised in Montreal, Arnold discovered his passion for journalism ata very early age writing for various publications of the Young Men’s HebrewAssociation. He began his professional career in journalism in Toronto in the1940s working for several progressive Jewish publications. In 1948, Arnoldmoved to Vancouver where he edited the Jewish Western Bulletin until hisdeparture for Montreal in 1960. In 1965, Arnold and his family were on themove again. This time the family settled in Winnipeg where Arnold took upthe position of Western Regional Director for the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC). During his Winnipegyears, Arnold pursued his passion for journalism publishing in numerous articles in the Jewish and commercialpress. In the 1970s, he worked for the Manitoba Association of Rights and Liberties as both a volunteerand employee.

In the course of his work and with a passion for writing, he was a tirelessadvocate of civil liberties, human rights and multiculturalism. These effortsalso sparked his interest in Jewish history and through years of study andresearch he grew to become a passionate historian. Arnold was a foundingmember of the Jewish Historical Society of Western Canada.

As a writer, Arnold left the people of Manitoba a great legacy, donating over27 feet of manuscripts to the Provincial Archives. This impressive archivalcollection ranges across his interests including Jewish History, contemporaryJewish issues and human rights and civil liberties. He was also the author ofnumerous books and articles, the research for which may be found in his archives.

In the years before Arnold’s death, historian Nolan Reilly conducted a life story project with Arnold for theOral History Centre at The University of Winnipeg. This project consists of seven hours of interviews andaccompanying transcripts, photographs, and documents. As a tribute and celebration of his life, this projectwill be published in its entirety in a special issue this coming fall of the Oral History Forum, an electronic,open access journal, edited by Alexander Freund and Nolan Reilly, co-directors of the Oral History Centre.

In recognition of his significant accomplishments, Dr. Arnold received an Honorary Doctorate from TheUniversity of Winnipeg in 2001 and an Order of Canada in 2004.

The University of Winnipeg Foundation wishes to acknowledge thelife and legacy of Abraham J. Arnold, a generous donor toThe University of Winnipeg.

Never Too Late to Make a Difference

For Ian Barron attending The University of Winnipeg marked a fresh start in a life that had alreadyaccumulated so many new beginnings.

Believing a ‘better late than never’ philosophy, Barron enrolled at The University of Winnipeg Collegiatein 1964, at the age of 43. He graduated from The Collegiate and immediately pursued post secondaryeducation, attaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1970.

Like many of his generation, Barron faced formidable circumstances in his youth. His mother passed awaywhen he was only 13 and his father died prior to his 16th birthday. He did not return to school after Grade8 and entered the workforce to earn a living.

Barron worked as an apprentice switcher at the CanadianNational Railway and when World War II was declared,he enlisted in the Navy Reserves. He became a wheelsmanfor the HMCS Assiniboine and rose to the rank of PettyOfficer. At the end of the war, he returned to Manitobawith enough money to take his chances as a farmer, butsoon discovered that that particular career choice wasnot for him. He subsequently sold his land and returnedto the Navy.

While stationed at HMCS Chippawa in Winnipeg, good fortune crossed his path when he met LillianWatson, a higher-ranking Officer and his future wife.

After government cutbacks forced him out of the Navy Reserves, Lillian encouraged him to return to school.

“Going back to school was the smartest thing I ever did”, says Barron, “I really enjoyed my time there asa student and for that, I owe a lot to The Collegiate and The University of Winnipeg.”

After graduating he went on to teach briefly at a one-room school just outside of Selkirk before acceptinga job as a lab technician with the Federal Government.

Barron is not the only University graduate in his family. He is extremelyproud of his stepdaughter, Heather and grandson James who are

also graduates of The University of Winnipeg.

In 1992, as a means of saying thank you to an institution theyhad both grown to love, Ian Barron and his wife, Lillian made

arrangements to leave a planned gift of life insurance toThe University of Winnipeg.

Leaving a Legacy at The University of WinnipegRobert (Bob) and Eileen Stuebing first met on the grounds of United College, what is now The Universityof Winnipeg; it was a meeting that would spark a lasting legacy of love for each other, and for a campusthey would one-day credit with their future success.

Graduating with his high school diploma in 1965 and attaining his degree in 1968, Bob is fortunate to callboth The Collegiate and The University of Winnipeg his alma mater.

Bob’s path to graduation was not as straightforward as most high school students’. After finishing hisgrade 11 year at The Collegiate, Bob dropped out to find employment. When he wound up at anotherWinnipeg high school to start his senior year and realized it wasn’t going to work there, he was given asecond chance to go back to The Collegiate. This opportunity to return would change his life.

“My life would not have unfolded the way it did if I had not had the opportunity to finish high school atThe Collegiate.”

Remembering his experiences at The Collegiate, Bob says that every teacher there was outstanding; inparticular, the late Dean Lorne Tomlinson who he says was the glue that held The Collegiate together.

“I spent a lot of time in his office,” says Bob. “So I got to know him very well. He was a great man andhe had a huge impact on my life.”

From The Collegiate, Bob moved on to The University of Winnipeg where he earned a Bachelor of Arts witha major in Economics. It was during this time when he had the good fortune to be introduced to a younglibrarian, Eileen Roper, on her coffee break in Tony’s.

Eileen worked in the library at the University for four years andsays this experience allowed her to interact with everyone, fromstudents to faculty and staff.

“Working in the library, I still felt like part of the University,” shesays. “It felt like we knew everyone. Some 40 years later, it stillholds a special place.”

Eileen developed lifelong friends during her career at the Universityand as fate would have it, married Bob in 1970.

It is these fond memories that have inspired the Stuebings to giveback to their beloved campus.

In addition to joining the Legacy Circle, Bob and Eileen have alsomade a generous donation to provide a new grand piano to therenovated Convocation Hall. The gift of the piano has special meaningfor the Stuebings, for when Bob lived in residence at Wesley Hall,he could, quite regularly, be found playing the piano located in theold Convocation Hall.

The Stuebings’ decision to join the Legacy Circle was made aftergiving careful consideration to the successful start The Universityof Winnipeg provided to them.

“You have to reflect on where you are in the world, how yougot there, and who helped you get there. We think youhave an obligation to give back,” says Bob.

“My life would nothave unfolded the

way it did if I had nothad the opportunity tofinish high school at

The Collegiate.”
