Thank You for Supporting Giving Tuesday – Together We Raised $167,877

We are pleased to share the results of this year’s Giving Tuesday campaign. Thanks to the generosity and support of our alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends, Lakehead University raised $167,877 in support of student awards.

Giving Tuesday has become an important annual tradition at Lakehead- one that directly impacts our students by helping reduce financial barriers and expanding access to scholarships, bursaries, and awards. Since launching our first Giving Tuesday initiative in 2016, our community has contributed over $1.71 million toward student awards. This sustained support has strengthened our ability to help students succeed academically and personally.

These results also reflect our longstanding reputation for putting students first: for two years in a row, the Maclean’s University Rankings recognized Lakehead as the top undergraduate university in Ontario for student awards- a distinction made possible through the kindness and commitment of supporters like you.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, shared messages, or helped champion this year’s campaign. Your dedication helps ensure that Lakehead students can focus on their studies, pursue their goals, and fully realize their potential.

You’ll learn what the numbers mean, how to interpret them and see a step-by-step example of comparing EPDs between animals to help select genetics that fit your herd goals.
