New Scholarship Celebrates Dr. Nancy D. Ursel’s Legacy of Leadership

In recognition of her 15 years of outstanding and exemplary service on the Board of Governors’ Investment and Pension Committees, the Board of Governors of the University of Windsor announces the establishment of the Dr. Nancy D. Ursel Endowed Scholarship in Finance and Governance.

The Dr. Nancy D. Ursel Endowed Scholarship in Finance and Governance will support undergraduate students who demonstrate excellence in finance courses, helping to reduce financial barriers and recognize academic achievement.

“Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the talent and drive of our students,” said Dr. Ursel. “This scholarship is a way for me to give back and help ensure that financial barriers do not stand in the way of a student’s ability to thrive.”

Funded in recognition of Dr. Ursel’s 15 years of service on the University’s Board of Governors Investment and Pension Committees, the scholarship reflects her 34-year academic career focused on finance and corporate governance. Her leadership, mentorship, and commitment to academic excellence have left a lasting impact on the Odette School of Business community.

This new award will help cultivate future leaders in finance, reinforcing the University’s mission to empower positive change through learning, scholarship, and inclusion.
