A special thank you to Ajith Rai for his support of the Oulton-Stanish Centre!

Ajith, who recently supported the project by purchasing a section of seats, joined us for a tour recently, alongside Dr. Uday Venkatadri, Professor and Head of Industrial Engineering at Dalhousie.

The two first met at Dal in the 1980s—making this visit a full-circle moment back on campus.
Ajith’s longstanding generosity continues to make a meaningful impact, including support of the Eldon Gunn Memorial Scholarship (2016) and the Peter Wilson Memorial Scholarship (2012, 2013, 2015).

We’re grateful for your continued support of Dalhousie Athletics and the broader Dal community!
