Share

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ parent Ursula Bunge has joined the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Foundation Board, bringing her extensive experience and passion for supporting students. With a background rooted in arts and culture, Ursula’s professional journey includes significant roles at the Fondation du Cégep Édouard-Montpetit, the McCord Museum, and Maison St-Gabriel, alongside coaching basketball. Her current role is Coordinator of Partnerships at the Fondation de la Basilique Notre-Dame.

Ursula’s connection to Dawson goes beyond her professional expertise—she is also a parent of a current Dawson student athlete, which gives her a personal insight into the student experience and the challenges they face.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the Université de Montréal and is a specialist in art from the late 19th to early 20th centuries after having completed training with Christie’s Education — affiliated with Christie’s Auction House — in Paris.

Ursula, who graduated from the Cégep de Victoriaville, understands the unique role of CEGEPs in the educational landscape. “Through my experience with student athletes and the foundation, I understand the unique complexities and realities of a CEGEP Foundation,� she said. She described CEGEP as a unique bridge where students simultaneously transition into adulthood.

Her vision for the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Foundation is clear: to ease students’ paths to graduation by providing essential support. “I understand how important it is to give back,â€� Ursula remarked. She hopes the Foundation will raise its profile and engage more deeply with alumni, emphasizing the importance of regular stewardship and increased routine giving.
