Dr. Jim MacDonald
Collegiate Alumnus
The Dean’s Bursary Fund
(In Memory of Dean A. Lorne Tomlinson)
This bursary fund was established by Dr. James (Jim) D.
MacDonald, local business leader and University of Winnipeg
Collegiate alumnus, through an unprecedented gift to the
University of Winnipeg Collegiate. This bursary fund will enable
those who may not have the financial means to share in an
educational experience that will undoubtedly stay with them
forever according to Dr. MacDonald
Dr. MacDonald’s involvement with The University of Winnipeg
began as a student in the 1960s. It was in fact, Lorne
Tomlinson, Dean of The Collegiate, who interviewed the young
Jim MacDonald and admitted him into Grade 11. As with so
many Collegiate students, this meeting with Dean Tomlinson
set MacDonald on a path of hard work and achievement.
His association with his alma mater did not end with
graduation. In the 1970s, he founded The University of
Winnipeg Collegiate Alumni Association, and was its first
President, serving for five years. Later in 2004, he took on the
role of Chair for The Collegiate Appeal, a fundraising initiative
within the overall University of Winnipeg Campaign.
A graduate of the Class of ’64, Dr. MacDonald has a longstanding
commitment to Collegiate students and has made
a number of previous and significant financial contributions
in support of Collegiate student bursaries. His goal remains
constant—turning more lives around through a University of
Winnipeg Collegiate education.
