Student supporter receives recognition

UWindsor chancellor Ed Lumley recently presented Tim Horton’s co-founder and Joyce Foundation trustee Ron Joyce with a tribute plaque in recognition of his $10 million gift in support of the newly-created Ed Lumley bursary.

The plaque features the Windsor Star editorial which called Joyce a “quiet and caring man,” and stressed his dedication to improving the lives of young people, as well as a thank-you ad featuring details of the bursary. Supported through the Joyce Foundation, the bursary will provide up to $8,000 a year throughout four years of study to students from Windsor-Essex who might not otherwise attend university because of financial hardship.
