On behalf of Alumni Affairs and Development, I would like to thank all campus community members who contributed to the success of the 2005 Cornerstone Fund through gifts and payroll pledges.
The generosity of faculty, staff and retirees sets an important example for the external community, reflecting a deep pride in the institution we serve. Personal contributions received in 2005 from more than 715 members of the U of G community created a fund of $284,627 to help the University meet the significant challenges and exciting opportunities ahead.
Please refer to www.alumni.uoguelph.ca/donor_report2005.htm for a complete list of 2005 U of G donors.
As the fall semester begins, the staff in Alumni Affairs and Development thank our donors, volunteers and advocates throughout the campus community for the support given to our fundraising efforts. We recognize the significance of your personal commitment to the University of Guelph and look forward to earning your continued confidence for many years to come.
Joanne Shoveller, Vice-president (alumni affairs and development)
We moved our daughter Krista into South Residences Sept. 3 and want to express our appreciation to all the hard-working people who helped make this a well-organized event.
This was our first time in this situation, so we were a little apprehensive about how it would all work, even though we had read all the helpful information on the website. It went very smoothly, and we were in Krista's room helping her unpack about an hour after first lining up on Stone Road.
All the volunteers were cheerful and helpful, despite the off-and-on drizzle, and we certainly appreciated their entertaining us while we were waiting in line.
Our sincere thanks to everyone involved in making this transition easy for our family, especially Krista.
Chris and Terrie Dewsbury, Camlachie, Ont.
