Thursday, June 19, 2014, Peterborough, ON

Trent University will hold a special Legacy Celebration event on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. in celebration of the members of its Legacy Society, the volunteers who have supported the Legacy Campaign, and the positive impact on the future of the University. The celebration will feature alumna Leah Eustace ’86, principal and managing partner at Good Works Company, as the guest speaker. The event will also feature the unveiling of a new Legacy Wall.

Launched in September 2012, Trent’s Legacy Campaign has called upon alumni, staff, faculty, friends, and other community members to step forward, share their stories, and join in creating Trent’s future, right now, through their own legacy. The Campaign has more than doubled the Legacy Society, welcoming more than 100 new members.

Trent is an institution profoundly anchored in philanthropy, beginning with the generous gift of 100 acres of land from General Electric to create the Symons Campus. The individuals who have created legacies at Trent University are among those whose lives have been transformed by their experiences at Trent and who believe strongly in the power of education. Trent’s Legacy Campaign aims to enable the University to continue inspiring and educating students for generations to come.
