Alumni Foundation
Mission
Incorporated in 1960, the OAC Alumni Foundation (OACAF) is an independent body dedicated to the achievement of a well-educated, well-informed, prosperous and sustainable agriculture and rural community in Ontario.
The Alumni Foundation works with OAC and Alumni Affairs & Development to raise funds for:
- providing awards to encourage bright, capable high school students to study agriculture (including food, environmental and rural issues) in degree and diploma programs at the Ontario Agricultural College
- recognizing in-course students and graduands who have a high level of academic achievement and are making outstanding leadership contributions
- supporting initiatives that improve the learning and living environment for OAC students and the teaching, research and technology-transfer programs of the College.
Governance Structure
The activities of OACAF are governed by a board consisting of an executive committee, directors and committee representatives.
The investment portfolios of both the OAC Alumni Foundation and the OAC Alumni Association are managed by a Joint Investment Committee composed of members appointed by both bodies, and following agreed terms of reference. The Portfolio Managers are appointed by the Committee.
Programs and Awards
The OACAF administers a variety of programs designed to support students and enrich OAC's educational and outreach initiatives.
