The Foundation, wishing to honour the memory of Dr. Doug Ruth, former Dean of the Price Faculty of Engineering, approached the Faculty for ideas about a naming-rights project. Further discussions led to the Strategic Initiatives Fund becoming the repository for the $50,000 that the Foundation donated in Doug’s memory.
The existing student lounge in the Engineering Information and Technology Complex will bear the name Doug Ruth Student Lounge for 15 years, commencing September 2022.
A plaque commemorates Doug’s work with students and his efforts in raising funds for the EITC.
