“Our UWO alumni, community partners, faculty, staff and students have shown us what it truly means to be a Titan: tenacious, committed, generous and mission-focused,” UWO Chancellor Manohar Singh said.
Money from the event will support scholarships, strengthen academic programs and provide resources for students and faculty. Matching gifts from community partners helped boost donations throughout the day.
