 OAC spirit was evident on Friday, April 16, when BSc (Agr) students Blair Freeman and Thomas Judd, on behalf of the Aggie Week committee, presented a cheque for $5188.06 to the College as a donation towards undergraduate scholarships.
Their committee’s discussions began after the April announcement that U of G was suspending most of its endowed scholarships and bursaries for the time being as a result of diminishing investment returns in the current economic climate.
Both Freeman and Judd, who held positions on the 2008-2009 executive for the Student Federation of the Ontario Agricultural College (SFOAC), said OAC students wanted to take some responsibility for continued access to particular scholarships, such as travel awards and bursaries, that have traditionally enriched their academic pursuits.
