In December, the Faculty of Engineering held an event to thank some of the donors who have offered their support to the 麻豆AV Engineering Student Centre (MESC) over the years.
It all began when Helgi Soutar (BSci鈥�58) and her late husband Ian Soutar (BEng鈥�58) funded four exchange students from Estonia to come to 麻豆AV for their MBAs. At the end of the program, one of the students in the group told Ian that he might have stayed if he鈥檇 had more support from the University to prepare him for the demands of the Canadian workplace.

Honouring our past as we build towards the future
Approaching the end of 2022, I would like to take a moment to reflect on some important recent events in the life of the Faculty, as we welcomed students back to campus and resumed the unifying traditions of Convocation and Homecoming. Our faculty and staff members were instrumental in making sure we didn鈥檛 miss a beat, even though we had spent two years working primarily off campus. It was rewarding for students to resume classes and for us to see each other at these events.
