³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ is pleased to announce a $1-million gift from Petro-Canada for undergraduate scholarships in the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Science and the Desautels Faculty of Management.

"Since 1975, Petro-Canada has been a Canadian leader in the resource field, and there is no more important resource than human resources and talent," said ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ Principal and Vice-Chancellor Heather Munroe-Blum. "Investing in students and the future of Canadian talent is a strategy I am delighted to endorse. There is no more forward-focused business decision than to ensure the educational development of our finest young people – and Petro-Canada is doing just that."

"We're very pleased to have ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ as one of our first partners in this new program. Many of our best employees today are ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ graduates and we'd like that pattern to continue," said Ron Brenneman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Canada.

The donation, the first awarded under the company's new Emerging Leaders Awards Program, will assist post-secondary students primarily in the areas of engineering, geology, geophysics, environmental sciences and business.
