On May 14, the Office of the President hosted an afternoon gathering to celebrate a $300 000 gift from Laurentian Bank to Concordia – the largest gift ever given to the university by the financial institution.
The donation will support a professorship and student scholarships at the JMSB. The professorship will focus on the study of integrated risk management, an important strategic tool for financial institutions that are increasingly facing interconnected and uncertain global markets.
"Our gift to the JMSB is fully aligned with our commitment to the development of our human capital," said Laurentian Bank President and CEO Réjean Robitaille, "and we are delighted to be able to contribute to the development of this leading academic institution."
In Oct. 1997, Laurentian Bank donated $150 000 during the Capital Campaign to help support the national diploma program in community and economic development fund.
In recognition of Laurentian's gift and ongoing support, a 60-seat classroom will be named after the bank in the new JMSB Building.
