The Faculty of Arts wants to honour Sheila Ager’s Deanship by naming a scholarship in her honour. The Sheila Ager Scholarship will demonstrate Sheila’s commitment to student success by recognizing academic excellence.
“Sheila has been an absolute pleasure to work with as Dean. She has guided us through very challenging times during the pandemic with compassion and support that really went beyond her role as Dean.
She has never tired of the myriad of tasks from the mundane to the complex to the wicked. Her humour and grace are always on display and she is truly a thoughtful and dedicated citizen of Arts.” - Kathryn MacDonald, Executive Officer, Faculty of Arts, University of Waterloo
The funds raised will be held until the goal of $40,000, the minimum amount required to open an endowment fund at the University of Waterloo, is achieved. Should the goal not be reached by September 2025, the funds will be used to support annual awards and will be spent over a finite period of time.
