University receives its first bequest
The University of the Sunshine Coast’s first bequest was recently realised in the will of late Sunshine Coast resident Marjorie Harrold.
The $10,000 gift will support Environmental Science at the University.
Mrs Harrold is the late wife of Dr Arthur Harrold, who received an Honorary Doctorate from USC in 1999.
She was passionate about giving back to her community and was generous to a number of organisations in her will.
USC Foundation Executive Officer Andrew Pentland said community gifts and bequests were a major source of support for older universities.
“Mrs Harrold chartered new territory at USC through her bequest, and she left a meaningful legacy for USC students,” he said.
“We are grateful for her thoughtfulness and generosity.”
Inquiries about leaving a bequest to USC can be made in strict confidentiality to Andrew Pentland on (07) 5459 4418 or <apentlan@usc.edu.au>.
