Lakeland receives $1M to support student bursaries, beef cattle initiatives

Lakeland College has received a $1M gift from alumnus Bill Robinson. Half of this donation will create an endowment fund that supports bursaries for first-year students who are studying at the Vermillion campus. The remaining funds will support beef cattle initiatives, including campus farm improvements and applied research projects. “Bill’s generosity will help us continue to modernize our campus farm, which is used by our more than 650 agricultural sciences students as well as applied research staff,” said Lakeland President Dr Alice Wainwright-Stewart.
