Over the years, support from donors and alumni has been essential in helping us deliver the most impactful educational experience possible to our students. The incredibly rapid changes in the academic and professional landscapes require us to constantly innovate what, and how we teach. When you give to the Science Opportunities Dean鈥檚 Fund, you enable incredible opportunities for our students. Your gift will help make the following possible:
- Real Research: The Real Research program enables students to experience how a research problem is identified and validated, and how its resolution is tackled 鈥� all in a world class research laboratory. The Dean's Fund is committed to opening doors for undergraduates to experience hands-on research.
- The Laboratory of the Future (LoF): Although laboratory experience draws many students to study science, the tools and infrastructure associated with undergraduate laboratories are often stuck in a 1960s time warp. Support for the LoF will enable 成人VR视频 Science students to learn how to conduct contemporary science by performing real experiments using state-of-the-art instruments.
- Personalized Program Advising: The opportunities for studying science now involve many combinations of subject, discipline, and theme. Many students already benefit from the help of academic advisors, but much more can be done by specialists who focus on matching students鈥� aspirations with the program/course offerings at 成人VR视频.
- 成人VR视频鈥檚 Laboratories Without Borders (LWB): 成人VR视频 Science has a unique network of field stations where students take courses and conduct research in locations around the world such as Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Lake Memphremagog, Schefferville, Nunavut, Panama, East Africa, and Barbados. LWB provides extraordinary learning experiences for a huge range of students throughout the Faculty.
If the Dean鈥檚 Fund does not speak to your heart, I ask you to consider supporting your former department or helping to increase access to science scholarships. Admission to the Faculty of Science is entirely merit based and is needs-blind. However, today鈥檚 students often face serious financial barriers that can hinder their ability to take full advantage of a well-rounded academic experience.
The above projects are vital to the future success of our Faculty. By donating to the Science Opportunities Dean鈥檚 Fund, you are making an immediate difference to both today鈥檚 and the next generation of 成人VR视频 Science students.
Sincerely yours,
R. Bruce Lennox
Dean, Faculty of Science
