The Centennial Art committee is pleased to advise that a jury met on July 7, 2009 and chose the proposal from Karen Lau ’03. Her concept, to be developed with student input, will result in a 25" x 50" light box showcasing multiple layers consisting of a line drawing of the school, archival text, and a grid of portraits. The piece, to be unveiled at the Centennial Homecoming Weekend (May 29, 2010), is described by Karen as “a celebration of leadership within the school in the past 100 years and the vision [those leaders] had for UTS.” Congratulations Karen!
School Song Contest By popular vote among the UTS community, Nathalie Siah S6 was selected as winner of the School Song Contest. The winning entry was arranged by Alex Eddington ’98 for band, strings, and choir and was premiered at the Centennial Student Kick-Off event on September 11th for students and staff; it was also featured at the Centennial Opening Reception on October 1st for the wider UTS community. Congratulations Nathalie!
Wanted: Volunteers and Memorabilia In order for our Centennial to succeed, we need your help. We are currently looking for volunteers to collect UTS memorabilia and to create decade displays for the various Decade Rooms for our Homecoming Weekend. If you are interested in volunteering for this role, or if you have UTS memorabilia that you would like to be displayed, please contact Jennifer Orazietti, Alumni Affairs Officer, at jorazietti@utschools.ca or 416- 946-7012.
Sponsorship Opportunities
As a not-for-profit organization, UTS is looking for gifts-in-kind or sponsorship opportunities that fit well with our Centennial Events and Initiatives. With thousands of alumni returning to UTS for Centennial celebrations, this is a great opportunity for your company or business to gain valuable exposure. If your company is interested in contributing to the success of our Centennial, please contact Martha Drake, Executive Director, Advancement, at mdrake@utschools.ca or 416-946-0097.
