Continuing the Momentum of Graditude
Recently, ChemE-student clubs received $3,452.10 provided by the 2015 Graditude Campaign, U of T Engineering’s fundraising program for students. ChemE 1T5's donations - totaling $1,676.o5 - was generously matched by a Faculty donor, and an additional $100 was provided by the Faculty due to our students achieving the highest 2015 departmental-dollar amount. Pictured above are our 2016 Graditude representatives with Sonia De Buglio from the alumni office and Professor Grant Allen. Let's support our 2016 team in raising even more money.
