Since 1888, the Estate of Owen Connolly has funded approximately $3 million to help thousands of Prince Edward island students of Irish Catholic heritage gain a higher education, many of them at SDU or UPEI.

Leonard Cusack (SDU ’69) has written the rags-to-riches story of the remarkable man behind the money, Owen Connolly, and we invite you to celebrate this new book at a book launch.
