Stu Lang ’70

Stu Lang ’70, is a community volunteer, philanthropist, businessman and former professional athlete who embodies UCC’s highest virtues. His enduring belief in and commitment to our school and our students is truly inspirational. 

As an Old Boy, Stu contributes to UCC in myriad ways, including serving on various committees and as an honorary member of the Campaign Cabinet. 

He chaired the Athletic Review Committee charged with enhancing our athletics curriculum, generously shared his time and talent as a volunteer coach of the varsity football team, and has been an honorary member of the Foundation Board of Trustees for the past 12 years.

In 2013, Stu made an $11-million gift to the College — the largest donation in our history and the largest single donation in Canadian independent school history at the time. This incredible contribution paved the way for initiatives like the Lang Scholar Program. Now in its second decade, it enables student-athletes to cultivate leadership skills and gives them unparalleled opportunities both to mentor and be mentored. Through their continued generosity to the priorities of the College, Stu and his wife, Kim, are the College's largest philanthropic supporters. Most recently, the Langs endowed a major gift to establish the Lang Leadership Lab — a Senior Kindergarten to Year 12 leadership development program to be launched next year across UCC's Deer Park and Norval campuses.

Said Stu’s nominators for this award: “Stu’s remarkable achievements in athletics, business and philanthropy, coupled with his exemplary commitment to service and his unprecedented support for the vision, mission and values of UCC — as a volunteer and visionary leader — make him an exceptional candidate for this prestigious honour.”
