In recognition of the finalization of the estate of Murray O'Neil, the University of Windsor announced today that its medical education building, home to the Windsor Program of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, will be named the Dr. Murray O’Neil Medical Education Centre. In addition, the Dr. Murray O’Neil Scholarship will be created to benefit students from the Windsor-Essex community admitted to the Windsor Program.

“This is an exceptional gift to the University of Windsor,” said president Alan Wildeman. “Dr. Murray O’Neil was a highly respected physician known across the community. He understood the importance of having medical education in this part of the province, and it is truly an honour to have his name become a part of the future of the University and of medical education and care in Windsor-Essex.”
