Top This! BCom'91s challenge Comm'15s to beat class participation record

Bruce Teron, BCom’91, returned to QSB in November to issue a challenge to this year’s Commerce graduating class. Back in the day, the 1990-91 Commerce Society President and co-founder of the COMMitment graduating-class gift tradition had rallied his classmates to give back to their school.

The Class of ’91 still holds the record for the highest participation rate (59%) in a graduating-class gift campaign. Bruce must have been as inspirational in 2014 as he had been persuasive in 1991, because the Comm’15s accepted the challenge and have set their target at a 60% participation rate.

Bruce’s visit provided an ideal opportunity for Dean David Saunders to unveil the new Class Giving Wall. Located in the hallway that joins the original building to the new west wing, the Wall will recognize annually the top three classes in several categories (top graduating class gift amount, highest student participation rate, largest endowed fund, among others).
