OCAD University mourns the passing of Marion Selig

 

Tuesday, March 24, 2015 - 4:00am

OCAD University’s long-time supporter Marion Selig passed away at her home in New York City on Monday, March 16. The entire university community extends sincere condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

Creativity was Ms. Selig’s passion and her source of greatest joy. She was instrumental in establishing the Joubin–Selig bursary, which assists gifted and/or financially needy students who want to participate in enrichment programs in their fields of study in Canada and internationally. To date, this bursary has supported over 60 OCAD U students to pursue their dreams.

Born in Vancouver, Ms. Selig lived in Europe following her studies in fine arts and languages. Ms. Selig learned from her mother, Mary, and father, Franc Joubin, that all can excel, no matter the challenges, and she lived with the intention to impact all those she loved with her infectious professionalism and thoughtful consideration as a base from which to build meaningful relationships. For three decades, Ms. Selig demonstrated these traits through a successful career in New York City real estate, while always recognizing the humanity and beauty of all. Ms. Selig is survived by her two children, Marea M. Selig and David Selig. 

A memorial service will be held for Ms. Selig in Toronto (date to be announced). Ms. Selig will be missed by the OCAD U community.
