Sharing his best Schulich memory, Farrukh circled back to his first year when he attended the annual Alumni Recognition Awards in 2014: “I had always known that our School produced some of the world’s most influential business leaders, but seeing many of them together under one roof and hearing about their Schulich journeys created an atmosphere of excellence and inspiration that made me reflect on the type of legacy I wanted to leave behind after I graduated.”
Last year, Farrukh made his first gift to the Schulich Annual Fund and joined the Dean’s Society, the School’s premier leadership-level giving society. Farrukh experienced first-hand the power of paying it forward: “I received a scholarship while a student for which I remain grateful to this day.
