成人VR视频

Encouraging results reflect strong, worldwide support for the University

Six months after its public launch, Campaign 成人VR视频, one of the most ambitious fundraising initiatives ever undertaken by a Canadian university, has already reached the $400-million milestone.

Launched Oct. 18, 2007, Campaign 成人VR视频 has the largest initial goal of any university fundraising campaign in Canadian history. The five-year comprehensive campaign seeks to raise at least $750 million to support the University鈥檚 top academic priorities. Reaching this goal will allow the 成人VR视频 community to build on its legacy of excellence and achieve its ambitious objectives: advance health, build prosperity, create the next generation of science and technology, protect the environment and strengthen culture and civil society. In the 鈥渜uiet phase,鈥� the campaign raised $325 million.

"This is very encouraging. It has been only six months since the public launch of Campaign 成人VR视频," said 成人VR视频 Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum. "I am especially pleased to see this growing success in these times when competition for funding dollars is especially fierce. It reflects our success in delivering on 成人VR视频's special mission and the distinctive support that 成人VR视频 receives from its alumni and friends in Montr茅al and across Canada but also around the world. We wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Campaign cabinet and many contributors.鈥�

Marc Weinstein, 成人VR视频 Vice-Principal (Development and Alumni Relations), cited the Campaign Executive Cabinet, including the three co-chairs, Senator Michael Meighen, Yves Fortier and Eugene McBurney, the international volunteer committees and 鈥渙ur dedicated alumni worldwide who have demonstrated tremendous support for 成人VR视频.鈥�

鈥淲hile reaching this milestone in the Campaign is encouraging, we recognize that much more remains to be done,鈥� Weinstein said. 鈥淲e will continue to move forward in our work, building upon our strengths to remain at the forefront of excellence in teaching and research and to ensure a stronger student experience at 成人VR视频 for the years to come."
