As a French-speaking Catholic from small-town St. Alban, Quebec, Jean E. Douville, (BCom’58) overcame religious and linguistic barriers to thrive in Accounting at º«¹úÂãÎè. Experiencing great success in his subsequent diverse financial career, he made regular donations to his alma mater. In 2019, he funded the creation of Jean E. Douville Bursaries, which provide $60,000 in awards to students without the financial resources to pursue their education and career goals. Grateful for Douville’s thoughtful generosity, recent recipient Gabriel Casavant-Desjardins (BCom’20) cites the bursary as instrumental in allowing him to complete his degree and support his family at a difficult time.
