and David Crevier at the dinner.
The top donors to the university, those who contribute $20,000
or more per year, were guests of Rector Frederick Lowy at his residence
on Docteur-Penfield Ave. on April 23.
It was a pleasant evening, with live background music and maquettes and
architects drawings of the new buildings on display.
As well as recognizing these donors, the occasion provided an opportunity
for the Rector pass on news about Concordia. He spoke briefly about the
new buildings, but at length about the increased research support that the
university is receiving for projects such as the digital-art facility Hexagram.
Chancellor Eric Molson added news of the $97-million grant from the government,
and the further good news that Dr. Lowy will complete a full second term
as rector at the request of the Board to see this construction project through.
