And although my son chose a different university to launch his studies after graduating from high school this year, all three of my children have benefited from scholarships, as did I when I was a university student.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But equally as important to me are the many UFV students over the decades who I have watched and supported as they were transformed by their UFV experience and went on to be successful in their careers and to become proud alumni. I am happy to count many of them as my friends and to have contributed to the success of all of our students through many years of giving back through my small-scale, slow-but-steady approach to donating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today is National Philanthropy Day!
