McMaster remembers former Dean of Women

Sheila Scott, a well-respected leader of the University, passed away last Friday.

Scott served as Dean of Women at McMaster from 1965 to 1982. During her tenure, she worked tirelessly to represent and help female students. One of her best-known accomplishments is the Day Care Centre at McMaster. In recognition of her work with the campus day care, the centre was named the Sheila Scott House.

In 1983, the University established the Sheila Scott Scholarship in English. This scholarship recognized her outstanding contribution to the University community during 25 years of service.

Along with her work at McMaster, Scott was also involved in the creation of the Children's Museum of Hamilton, the Fieldcote Museum in Ancaster, and was an active member of many other organizations.

Donations in Sheila's memory may be made to the Sheila Scott Scholarship in English, McMaster University or to Central Presbyterian Church.
