OCAD University remembers Joyce Kofman

 

Thursday, October 9, 2014 - 7:00pm

It is with great sadness that the OCAD University community notes the passing of former Chair of the Governing Council (now the Board of Governors) Joyce Kofman. Joyce envisioned the need for fundraising at the Ontario College of Art, and played a fundamental role in establishing the fundraising program that still exists at OCAD University. Beyond her role as a Chair, Joyce served on various fundraising committees at OCAD U including the Ideas Need Space Campaign, to which she herself was a major donor.

OCAD University recognizes the substantial service and contributions of Joyce and extends its deepest condolences to Joyce’s friends and family. Joyce was a force for the modernization of OCAD U and she will not be forgotten.

In remembrance of Joyce, her family has directed donations to be sent to the Art Gallery of Ontario or to Branksome Hall.
