Founder's Day Muffins and Coffee
During the morning of Thursday, February 15th, Macdonald Campus will recognize our founder, Sir William Macdonald, by offering students, faculty, and staff a free coffee and muffin. Coffee and muffins will be available at Twigs (in the Macdonald Stewart Building) and the Ceilidh Restaurant (in the Centennial Centre) all day or while supplies lasts. We anticipate having enough supplies to serve the first 400 people to arrive.
About Sir William Macdonald
Sir William C. Macdonald, a Canadian industrialist, was one of McGill University’s greatest benefactors and the fourth Chancellor of the University (1914–1917). He dedicated himself to improving the quality of life in Quebec’s rural communities and to train rural leaders to meet the future needs of a nation. Sir William planned, funded, and provided endowment support for Macdonald Campus, with construction beginning in 1905 and the school opening its doors to students in 1907 as the Macdonald College of McGill University.
Our annual celebration of Macdonald Campus and our Founder Sir William Macdonald is generously supported by the Macdonald Stewart Foundation.
