News highlights, videos, and podcasts available for the month of November
At our university, November was a month filled with significant events and exciting announcements.
The Vignelli Center was dedicated on campus, marking a new milestone for our educational institution.
Meanwhile, our Tigers Hockey team received some well-deserved spotlight as they were featured in an All Access program.
The highlight of the month, however, was the announcement of a generous donation towards our university's hockey programme. Stephen Schultz '89 and his wife, Vicki, gifted $1 million towards the construction of a new ice arena.
While this donation did not go directly towards building the new arena, it played a crucial role in supporting the teams' access to ice time at the Robert Crown ice rinks. This arrangement, made between the university and the city, allowed the university's club hockey and synchronized skating teams to secure affordable ice time despite mechanical failures at the rink.
The story of this $1 million donation was one of the top news stories for our university in November, attracting a large audience both on local television news and audio-podcasts.
In other news, our university is part of a $15M 'Power Play' campaign aimed at supporting the construction of a new ice arena.
Halloween was also celebrated in style at our university, with faculty and staff serving a late-night breakfast to students.
Sports enthusiasts were also treated to the broadcast of our Tigers Hockey announcement on television, and two episodes of the WITR Men's Hockey Postgame Rewind podcast were released on November 3rd and 10th, providing detailed discussions on the team's performances and the exciting developments in the hockey programme.
