To celebrate the career of retiring Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan president and CEO Jim Leech, his friends and colleagues have made donations toward a scholarship for MBA students at Queen’s School of Business.
With an anonymous donor agreeing to match all donations up to $1 million, the Jim Leech MBA Scholarship currently stands at $1.75 million. That makes it the largest Queen’s MBA scholarship.
“Queen’s School of Business is honoured to be the recipient of this generous gift in Jim’s name,” said David Saunders, dean at Queen’s School of Business. “It’s a fitting tribute given Jim’s service to Queen’s as the current chair of the School of Business advisory board and incoming Queen’s University chancellor.”
Leech earned his MBA at Queen’s in 1973.
