McMaster surpasses United Way campaign goal

Due to the outstanding generosity of McMaster students, employees and retirees, the $160,000 goal for the annual McMaster United Way campaign has been surpassed. "Every year the compassion of the McMaster community is reflected through tremendous support for the United Way campaign," says McMaster President, Peter George. "This year is no exception. You have once again made a significant contribution to the local community and those in need of counselling, shelter, food and other important services. Your kindness will touch the lives of those less fortunate and make a positive difference."
