Please note that only those individuals for whom the alumni office was notified are mentioned. I was excited and thoroughly grateful when I learned I was the recipient of the Adah Ruth Spencer Memorial Scholarship. This award alleviated so much stress as I was working two jobs while pursuing a masters of education degree in lifelong learning. It meant that I did not have to take on extra work shifts over breaks – allowing me to focus on my studies and motivating me to do my best and finish strong.

Sherrian Garcia, MEd ’20, 2019-20 recipient of the Adah Ruth Spencer Memorial Scholarship in Graduate Education

Adah Spencer, BA/BEd ’67, was first and foremost an educator, teaching for many years in schools in Wellington, Waverley and Fall River. Mrs. Spencer designated a percentage of her estate as a gift in her Will to Mount Saint Vincent University, establishing this endowed (in-perpetuity) scholarship fund and creating a legacy supporting MEd students today and in the future.

Your MSVU Legacy

A gift in your Will is an opportunity to make a lasting difference beyond your lifetime. Whether you create a scholarship or bursary, or leave your gift to be used where it will be needed most, your generosity will not only be recognized today, but will support future generations of MSVU students. To learn more about how you can leave a legacy, or for a complimentary copy of A Guide to Preparing Your Will, contact Anne Thibodeau at 902-719-7010, anne.thibodeau@msvu.ca or visit msvu.ca/giving
