2 The Privilege of Giving

A Message from Adam B. Kahan, Vice-President, University Advancement, Ryerson University

John D. Rockefeller once said, “Think of giving This publication celebrates some of the largest community, and will require the support not as duty, but as a privilege.” That is gifts to the Campaign. We recognize, however, of many. certainly the attitude I have seen reflected in that each contribution, regardless of size, donors to the Invest in Futures Campaign.

Banking on the Future

Canada’s five top banks made significant contributions to the Invest in Futures Campaign, supporting a variety of projects to enhance accessibility, teaching and research.

A contribution from RBC Foundation helped establish the Ryerson RBC Foundation Institute for Disability Studies Research and Education. The gift was subsequently renewed. “Disability Studies is an important cause that’s underrepresented in society,” said Stephen Voisin, Executive Director of the RBC Foundation (second from left, above). “We recognized that great strides have been made by the Institute and wanted to make sure it wouldn’t end. We hope they continue to do aggressive, innovative research.”

Other bank contributions included: • BMO Financial Group – student scholarships and the Tri-Mentoring Program • Scotiabank – international student scholarships • TD Bank Financial Group – scholarships for first generation students

12 Ryerson University Invest in Futures Working with the Competition

Canadian businesses are tough competitors, but when it comes to a great cause, they have no trouble working together.

The Invest in Futures Campaign received several gifts from companies in the same field. For example, three of Canada’s leading shopping centre developers – Oxford Properties Group, Cadillac Fairview and Ivanhoe Cambridge – teamed up to support the Internship Program in the Ted Rogers School of Retail Management, helping students gain on-the-job experience. “We are proud to take part in Ryerson University’s internship program for the seventh year,” said Kim McInnes, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Ivanhoe Cambridge. “The students’ energy and fresh perspective help lead our organization in new and exciting directions. We are honoured to play an active part in preparing the next generation of industry professionals.”

He is one of the youngest of the many Ryerson grads who have chosen to ‘pay it forward’ by supporting the Invest in Futures Campaign.

Sheri Cohen appreciated Ryerson for recognizing and accommodating her learning disabilities so that she could complete a degree in social work. She went on to found the ALDERCentre, an employment service for people who face similar challenges. Cohen has created two awards at Ryerson for students with learning disabilities. “I feel a lot of joy,” she says of her gift. “I also feel incredible compassion, because I’ve been there myself.”

Nancy Sprott, an early graduate of Ryerson’s program in nutri- tion, remembers a faculty dedicated to their task. “They bent over backwards to ensure that the program was good quality and up to date on all the research.” Through Invest in Futures, Sprott created several scholarships to support today’s nutrition students. “It’s getting more and more expensive for kids to get a

16 Ryerson University Invest in Futures Industrial Strength

The print and graphic arts industry is the third largest in Canada in terms of employment, yet it has a relatively low profile. That’s one reason Heidelberg Canada chose to support the Graphic Communications Management building, now called the Heidelberg Centre. “It’s critical to have new people coming up to replace management positions throughout the industry,” says Heidelberg President Richard Armstrong. “We really need to promote industry to young people and also to provide world-class facilities where they can be trained properly for the industry.”

Ryerson offers Canada’s only university-level program in print management, so it was a natural choice for Heidelberg. “It makes us very proud to be associated with Ryerson,” says Armstrong, “and to have our name on that building.”

Heidelberg is one of many industry partners who stepped up to support the Invest in Futures Campaign. Among others: • Quebecor World Inc., Agfa Inc., St. Joseph Corporation and Sun Chemical Limited contributed to the Heidelberg Centre • Pratt and Whitney, Messier-Dowty, Bombardier, Honeywell, Magellan, contributed to Engineering • Universal Studios Canada and Kodak Canada supported the School of Image Arts • Broadcast Captioning and Consulting Services Inc. made a gift to the School of Radio and Television Arts.

Looking ahead: Helen and George Vari can see the future, and it’s going to be built by the engineers of tomorrow such as Raymond Phan and Noushin Bahramshahi.
