Bharti family donates $10M to Laurentian University

Stan Bharti, chairman and CEO of Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. and dozens of other companies, recently announced a $10 million gift to Laurentian University's School of Engineering, as part of the Sudbury Families initiative, bringing the total raised for The Next 50 Campaign to $48.6 million. In recognition of this significant investment, Laurentian University President Dominic Giroux announced that the university will rename the school in the Bharti family's honour.

The Bharti family's gift will be invested in an endowment to the exclusive use of the Bharti School of Engineering. "The endowment fund will be used to enhance the student experience by ensuring that we attract top faculty and provide our students with first class opportunities to learn both inside and outside the classroom," said Dr. Ramesh Subramanian, Director of the Bharti School of Engineering. "Moreover, the endowment will ensure that we can attract the best and brightest students through scholarships and promote our programs nationally."
