Managed by the Office of the Dean of Students, the Mary H. Brown Fund honors Mary H. Brown's bequest to McGill University to support the creation of facilities for Student Wellness Hub in the Brown Student Services Building. Applications for this funding opportunity must be consistent with her gift: “to teach positive mental hygiene, we have to emphasize the principles of healthy living, with a foundation of rules of health to have a sound physical health, and then all the psychological ones for developing an outgoing personality to get along in society.”
