BRANDON, MB – On
Saturday, September 30, 2006, as part of the Brandon University Homecoming
Weekend Alumni Banquet, Brandon University's campus courtyard (located in
the middle of the BU campus) was renamed and dedicated as The Kavanagh
Courtyard, in honour of Dr. Kevin and Mrs. Els Kavanagh.

The dedication was made, and a plaque presented, by BU President and
Vice-Chancellor Dr. Louis P. Visentin and Chancellor the Right Honourable
Edward Schreyer as part of the same ceremony that saw the Kavanagh's receive
the 2006 Brandon University Apex Award, a recognition given annually to
outstanding volunteer fundraisers for their work on behalf of the Brandon
University Foundation.

Dr. Kevin and Mrs. Els Kavanagh are the Honorary Campaign Chairs of Brandon
University's BU & You Campaign—the University's most comprehensive and
successful fundraising initiative to date. Both have been active in the life
of Brandon University for many years, with Kevin serving as Chancellor from
1996 to 2002 and thereafter receiving the appointment of Chancellor Emeritus
for meritorious service rendered. Both Kevin and Els have been tireless
supporters and advocates for Brandon University, and have dedicated
countless volunteer hours in support of post-secondary education in
Manitoba. Together they are a respected and dynamic force in Winnipeg's
business and philanthropic sectors.

The plaque, which was placed in the courtyard following the presentation,
reads as follows:

The
KAVANAGH COURTYARD
Named in honour of
DR. KEVIN KAVANAGH
Brandon University Chancellor 1996 – 2002
Appointed Chancellor Emeritus 2002
And
MRS. ELS KAVANAGH

In recognition of their vision and leadership
with Brandon University
and their dedication to the advancement
of post-secondary education
