New graduate scholarships support women in engineering

Across Canada, women continue to be underrepresented in engineering education and in the engineering profession. That’s why long-time UM supporters, Gerry and Barb Price and their family, have supported the Faculty of Engineering’s vision of greater gender equality by establishing the Price Graduate Scholarships for Women in Engineering.

Gerry Price [BSc(ME)/70, MSc/72, LLD(Hon)/17] and Barb Price [BHEc/69, CertEd/70], along with the Price Family Foundation and their company, Prince Industries Limited, are some of the UM’s strongest champions. This is their eighth major gift to the Front and Centre campaign.
