From Saturday's Chronicle Herald:

Dalhousie University is renaming its business school for prominent Nova Scotia businessman Kenneth C. Rowe — a stalwart champion of the school.

The executive chairman of IMP Group International is no stranger to the university, as its faculty of management building already bears his name.

“As we became the dominant player with our original marine products, we ran out of market share,” he said. “To continue to grow, we had to acquire other companies.”

Rowe donated $15 million to the university last October. It was one of the largest gifts Dalhousie has received from a Nova Scotian.
