A certain mystery surrounds the late Murray Brown (PhD ’75, Clinical Psychology), a respected therapist who dedicated his life to working with at-risk individuals.

Dr. Moshe Nahir and Dr. Tsippi Guttmann-Nahir chose to plan a bequest for the creation of a scholarship in memory of their daughter, Aya Nahir, for whom music was highly therapeutic.

If there is a recurring theme in Professor Curran’s thinking, it is the importance of learning — at any age. By creating his scholarship, he wishes to help many budding teachers continue in their studies and increase their own knowledge.

Professor André Samson is pleased to know that his bequest will help young francophones pursue their education and find their place at the University of Ottawa and in society.

Through her bequest, Mrs. Suzanne Gouin-Boudreau wishes to inspire future students to take the path of classics studies and develop an historical perspective to better understand the present.

“My father wanted to help a student that needs money to get through medical school. Someone like him, who was so poor, but had the determination to do it. I’m so glad that my dad, even though he’s gone, is still able to help.”

“Death may be final, but this scholarship keeps Gene’s memory alive. Especially at the University of Ottawa, where we know that he loved to teach.”

“It’s important to consider the needs we have today, but we also need to consider the future. The best universities were built through bequests.”

“We don’t have children, so who do we leave the money to? The simplest thing is to leave it to charities or organizations that we’ve been supporting all our lives and that we’re passionate about.”

“There’s nothing exceptional about us as donors. There are many people who can do this. By planning a little, you can give back a lot and really have a major impact.”
