Giving back on Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday - this year on November 30 - is one of Waterloo Engineering's favourite days of the year because it provides a great opportunity to give back to our students, the campus and causes we care about. Each year, we challenge ourselves and each other to "put our money where our hearts are" by pledging financial support. Last year, the new Engineering Equity Fund topped our donors' list of preferred causes with 130 contributing to it. One of those contributors, alumnus Rakesh Malhotra, significantly boosted the fund designed to increase representation, participation, and inclusion of underrepresented groups in Waterloo Engineering with a generous gift that helped inspire others to give as well. Here's why he gave. What will your reason be to donate on Giving Tuesday ? - Reducing Barriers to Entry. Gratitude comes in many forms  and for  Rakesh Malhotra  (BASc '99, computer engineering) giving $25k to the Engineering Equity Fund is one of them.
