Fred Cahill knows the importance of giving back. He also knows the value of a Memorial University education.
It's his passion for both that has made the president of the Cahill Group one of the university's, and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science's, most outstanding contributors.
"For me, giving back is the right thing to do," he said. "I have been fortunate throughout my career to be able to give back to the community that supported me and was influential in both my professional and personal development. I know the value of the education and experience at Memorial and want to support it however I can."
Mr. Cahill, who graduated from Memorial with an electrical engineering degree, was honoured last fall at the university's 37th annual Alumni Tribute Awards event. Mr. Cahill received the J.D. Eaton Alumni Award, which recognizes outstanding volunteer contributions to Memorial.
