Advance Sustainable Community Development
Dean William T. Perks and Patricia C. Bond Scholarship in Sustainable Design Endowment
The former Faculty of Environmental Design at the University of Calgary established this scholarship in 2000 under the name of Dean William T Perks to advance leading graduate work in the field of sustainable design. Founding Dean Perks served from 1971-1981.
With the recent passing of Dean William T Perks in April 2023 in Calgary, Dean Perks’ family, with support from the University of Calgary, is highlighting the scholarship as one way that friends, family and interested alumni may consider supporting the educational values his legacy represents.
