In his lifetime, Lloyd Shaw was an outstanding community leader who had a strong commitment to service in the public interest. His commitment to public affairs in general, and specifically to issues such as labour-management relations, social inclusion and anti-racism, community and inter-generational solidarity, multilateralism and peace served as an inspiration to all who knew him. His community service enriched his province and his country. The Lloyd Shaw Lecture in Public Affairs was previously established by his family to honour his memory and contributions. The repurposing of these funds to the Lloyd Shaw MBA Bursary will ensure continued support for students pursuing a Master of Business Administration, enabling them to access opportunities that might otherwise be financially out of reach. This adjustment reflects the shared vision of supporting the academic and professional development of future business leaders, aligning the gift with the evolving needs of the university and its students.

These Scholarships have been established, in part, as a means by which to recognize and celebrate the values held and exhibited through a lifetime of achievement by Sir Graham Day. As well, to encourage both undergraduate and graduate students to participate in course work and related work-terms or internships with a focus (in no particular order) on Family Business, Transportation or Business-Government Relations.
