The University of Prince Edward Island has received a $6M donation from Saint Dunstan’s University alumnus Allan Curran. The funds will be divided between the Robertson Library’s “Love Our Library” revitalization campaign and the Faculty of Medicine’s fundraising campaign. The library’s Archives and Special Collections area and adjacent student learning commons will be named the “Curran Family Special Collections and Student Learning Commons” to recognize the gift; a space in the library will also be dedicated to Curran’s late friend and former classmate Roger Labonte. Curran’s donation to the Faculty of Medicine will be recognized with the naming of a networking space in the new medicine building after Curran’s mother, Catherine Bernadette MacDonald.
