A Letter of Thanks

Trent University is on the verge of a major milestone, as the institution will mark its 50th anniversary in 2014. With the University in the spotlight, we have the opportunity to pay tribute to our history, celebrate our successes, and show the community and the world what makes Trent one of Canada’s outstanding universities. Naturally, such a celebration also brings about a time to look back on the foundations upon which Trent was built. As an institution proudly anchored in philanthropy, Trent prides itself on a strong history of giving and volunteerism.

26 ■ TRENT UNIVERSITY CIBC Rewards Future Nurses

In March 2012, CIBC announced a $200,000 gift to establish the CIBC Nursing Awards, a fund to help first-year nursing students at Trent University. In the fall, 19 students entering the Trent- Fleming School of Nursing received the inaugural awards, valued at up to $2,500 each. To date, nearly $50,000 has been awarded.

“I am the first person in my family to graduate from college, and the first to attend University. Being a mother of four children that range from JK to high school, I knew that going back to school was going to be a difficult feat to manage financially. Also, I am a student with a disability, which means some days it is a struggle to get through the day, let alone try to work part time while attending school and raising four children. The CIBC bursary was a great help to me financially as I was able to purchase much needed study aids that I just couldn’t afford without the extra money. I am showing my children that it is never too late to follow your dreams, and that anything can be achieved with lots of hard work and determination. Thank you again for your generous gift.”

– Laureen Lightowlers, inaugural recipient, CIBC Nursing Award

“I decided to go into nursing because I wanted to pursue a career in which I could apply my fundamental knowledge and love of science to the human health care field. In the future, I am hoping to pursue a career in public health nursing. Your financial contribution towards my degree helped alleviate some of the financial stress that goes along with being a full time student. Thank you!”
