\"Brock

Brock University alumni at the 2014 Homecoming Red Dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n

You can make the difference in the life of a current or future student.<\/p>\n

By giving to Brock through your class gift, you\u2019re investing in their skills, talents and interests of students like Cole Ritchie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ritchie was the proud recipient of the 2014 Deborah E. Rosati Entrepreneurship Co-op Fund Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day I hope to be able to give back to Brock University, to assist aspiring entrepreneurs to build their dreams,\u201d Ritchie says.<\/span><\/p>\n

During Homecoming weekend<\/span><\/a> this year, Brock will celebrate the class of 2005 and 2010. In recognition of their five- and 10-year reunions, we ask that these classes reflect on their experiences at Brock and what makes them proud to be alumni.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take the opportunity to participate in your reunion and give to your class gift. Giving back to Brock University ensures that you\u2019re part of an important legacy, like the one Kerri Ann Podwinski has started.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the first member of my family to attend university, and it\u2019s with great pride that I accept this scholarship in recognition of my academic achievements,\u201d says Podwinski, recipient of the 2014 Bernace Davison Davies Nursing Award.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you make a donation towards your class gift, the impact is significant and your donation will support student awards, scholarships and bursaries. It will also fund teaching and research facilities, enhanced learning environments and leading technology.<\/span><\/p>\n
