An anonymous donation with a big impact

The constant hours of practice every day by multiple students are demanding on musical instruments. So, when an anonymous estate gift was made to the University of Ottawa’s School of Music, it was the perfect opportunity to replace the school’s inventory of aging pianos, many of them dating back to when it was founded in 1969.

Opportunity and inclusion: Core values that helped shape a gift

Marlene Patrick’s (BAdm ’79, BCom ‘80) fondest memories of uOttawa stem from its bilingualism. Arriving at the University from a smaller, English-speaking community and wanting to study translation, she saw this as a great, inclusive opportunity.
