The Engineering Advancement team works with alumni, friends, industry partners, and donors to support students, faculty, research and special initiatives at McMaster University. We value your time, talent and financial support, and we are here to help you make a difference.
“McMaster Engineering gave me the tools and the fundamentals I needed to succeed in the work that I do today,” says Waguih Ishak, recently retired president and chief technologist for Corning Research and Development Corporation and former international graduate student at Mac Eng. From his own experience, he was inspired to give back to students coming from abroad.
What started as a humble student-led, student-funded program has grown into an established endowment fund of approximately $5.5 million. Over $1 million in project funding from the interest of the fund has been disbursed over two decades, supporting everything from upgraded labs and spaces for collaboration.
Cosmos Voutsinos (Mechanical Engineering ’76), and his wife Donna have included a gift in their wills to establish a scholarship in support of Mechanical Engineering graduate students who demonstrate academic and research excellence.
How the fund is helping unlock an expanding world of experiential learning opportunities far beyond McMaster’s local Hamilton community.
