Donor Story
Queen’s changed my life. I started in the fall of 1982 as a new MBA student with a clear, well-planned path into business. My time at Queen’s moved me to a new path into academia. As Robert Frost noted: “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” This award is my way of helping a fellow traveler start down the less-traveled road.
