Donor Story:
Jill, Stephen and their sons Eric and Adam Kouri established The Kouri Achievement Award to provide financial assistance to high achieving students entering their first year of ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s Commerce at the Smith School of Business.
Jill, BCom ’84 and Eric, BCom ’17 are both graduates of the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s Commerce program. Stephen also attended ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s, graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts Honours. Although Adam, did not attend ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s, he understands our commitment and is fully supportive of this award. We all benefitted from an excellent academic experience at ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s and were well prepared for life after university. While at ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s, we were actively engaged in extracurricular activities and the dynamic ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s student community. This community lives on in our lives today, as we enjoy many lasting friendships that began at ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´â€™s.
We hope the recipients of this award will take full advantage of the academic and extracurricular activities that the Smith School of Business offers and enjoy the experience as much as we did.
