Michel Eric ‘Eric’ Fournelle, president of the Foundation Famille Michel Fournelle, is a University of Guelph alumus having graduated from the former hotel and food administration (HAFA) program in 1992. He has been a long-time donor to the University, making contributions towards the University’s School of Hospitality, Food, and Tourism Management (HFTM), establishing the Anita Stewart Memorial Food Laboratory, creating The Improve Life bursaries to provide funds for traditionally underrepresented groups at UofG, and most recently, supporting the construction of the New Honey Bee Research Centre!
The new facility would not become a reality if it weren’t for generous supporters like Eric. Over 300 individuals and companies have stepped up to support the project. Many naming opportunities are still available. If you’re interested in donating or naming a space, please contact Shannon Fawns, fawnss@uoguelph.ca
