Supporting Student Success

James Sanford ('87), Executive Director of Student Services at 网曝吃瓜, explained the need to revitalize the aging space because current design and function are not meeting the campus community's needs.

鈥淲ith this transformation, the new student centre will be more than a building. It will be a home away from home for our students,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t will be one of the places where they forge lifelong friendships and discover their passions while accessing the support they need to pursue their dreams.鈥�

The Build: The Student Centre campaign has three key components:

• Build Opportunity: Creating an inclusive environment where all students can access the support they need to succeed;
• Build Community: Fostering a sense of belonging and purpose by providing spaces for socialization, collaboration, and personal growth;
• Build Success: Establishing a foundation for future student success by incorporating sustainable practices and serving as a hub for student leadership and achievement.

President Sadie McAlear (鈥�24) has led the charge for change on behalf of students. "This will be a game-changer for the 网曝吃瓜 community. I know it will make the university experience even more rewarding and memorable for every student."

Like student leaders before her, including Harrison McCain (49, 鈥�91 HON), who chaired a committee to build the first student union facility that opened in the 1950s, followed by a new SUB in the early 1970s, McAlear said the revitalization is overdue and essential for 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 students.

Vice-President of Advancement Nancy Handrigan ('92) highlighted the diverse cabinet behind the campaign. "We have a fantastic team of dedicated alumni and employees who want to give back to 网曝吃瓜 and help students succeed," she said. "They understand the challenges of adapting to university life and are committed to ensuring every student thrives at 网曝吃瓜 and beyond."

As part of the campaign, 网曝吃瓜 is calling on alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community members to contribute. Every donation, no matter the size, brings 网曝吃瓜 closer to creating a student centre that will serve as a catalyst for student success.

"This gift is a reminder that when we come together as the 网曝吃瓜 family, there is no limit to what we can achieve," Handrigan said. "We are excited to continue to build on this momentum and create a student centre that will inspire and empower generations of 网曝吃瓜 students."
