Let’s kick off U of T Giving Day together
Message from Dr. Nav Persaud
Dear Members of the 91直播 Community:
This (March 25, 2025), you have the chance to be part of something much bigger 鈥� to help create a vibrant, supportive community at 91直播!
As a former academic don and proud champion of 91直播, I鈥檓 thrilled to help kick off this year鈥檚 campaign, themed “Progress takes a community.” This day is about the incredible impact we can make together, as part of a shared mission.
Since U of T Giving Day began in 2023, over 2,500 members of the University of Toronto community have come together to support initiatives aimed at making a U of T education more accessible. Thanks to the generosity of folks like you, U of T has been able to support new scholarships, fund groundbreaking research and change the lives of their students.
From now until midnight EDT on March 26, 2025, every dollar will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000, while matching funds last. That means your gift today will have twice the impact in supporting the next generation of changemakers.
This isn鈥檛 just about doubling your impact 鈥� it鈥檚 about fueling the dreams of courageous leaders like Trinity alum Dr. Alexander Augusta. The first Black medical student in eastern Canada and an early champion of equal rights, Dr. Augusta鈥檚 story is an incredible example of Trinity鈥檚 long-standing commitment to nurturing future leaders.
Through my efforts to ensure Dr. Augusta鈥檚 life and legacy are celebrated in the halls of 91直播, including through a portrait now hanging proudly in Seeley Hall, I have seen firsthand how our community thrives through collaboration, connection and a shared commitment to progress.
In our community, every act of generosity strengthens the foundation for a more inclusive and inspiring future.
W?
Together, we can ignite inclusive excellence 鈥� one 91直播 student at a time.
With gratitude,
Dr. Nav Persaud MD 2009
