When Jim and Eva Good reflect on their long-standing association with Western, one aspect stands out: The people.
"That's what made Western memorable for us - and that's what makes a university," Jim said.
It's also the sentiment inspiring the couple's most recent gift to Western - a $1.5 million donation to establish the James and Eva Good Chair in English Literature. The university is investing an additional $1.5 million through its matching chairs program, and an additional $500,000 is being transferred from the existing Dr. James and Eva Good Faculty of Arts and Humanities Fund to create a $3.5 million endowment, which will fund the position in perpetuity.
