Outgoing Dean Don McLean fêted in high-style at gala fundraising event

McGill University's Laudatoria Gala recently honored former music dean Don McLean, who sings his Montreal swan song before returning to Toronto. During his nine-year tenure which began in 2001, the Faculty of Music emerged as a leader in both pedagogy and research. In 2005, a $20 million gift was made by Canadian billionaire/philanthropist Seymour Schulich.
