Any such publications will be distributed to donors who supported students and may also be presented to the families of deceased donors, official donor contacts and selected potential donors to encourage gifts.
If you do not wish to be included in such publications, you must log in to the Student Services website https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/index.cfm by May 30 of the relevant academic year.
