The Opportunity Fund is a great success.

In raising $60 million to enhance Memorial University's programs, services and facilities, our dedicated campaign leaders, tireless volunteers and generous donors have achieved success that will benefit our students and our community for years to come. Together we have seized the opportunity to build a stronger university for the future, one that can better serve the varied needs of students and address important issues of our province and indeed humankind. From scholarships that reward and support academic excellence, to initiatives and facilities that enhance teaching, learning, research, personal development and the working environment — The Opportunity Fund will help create a better tomorrow for all of us.
