Retired UFV employee Norm Taylor donated to UFV through bi-weekly payroll deductions for 21 years! Norm received a “Loyalty” Paddle of Distinction at the Celebrating Difference-Makers event on November 10, and he plans to continue his support. 

 “My focus has always been on supporting the students. My colleagues and I could see that there weren’t that many scholarships or awards for physics students, so we decided to work together to fund something.” 

 Thanks to the generosity of Norm and others like him, UFV offers Physics Excellence awards to the top physics students in each year of study. Norm was also instrumental in establishing a Physics endowment. 

Please make your donation today. You can give to UFV, the United Way or both!  

Donate via payroll deduction; donate online; or donate in person at our offices in B310 on the Abbotsford campus via credit card, cheque or cash.
