More than 2,500 ALUMNI attended 70 EVENTS downtown and at Mac campus,
including 342 GRADUATES celebrating their 50TH CLASS REUNION.
Alumni returned to campus from countries including France, China and Barbados:
in total, almost ONE IN SIX Homecoming attendees came
from outside of Canada.
T R A N S F O R M A T I V E G I F T T O O P E N S C I E N C EOn December 21, 2016, the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI)
welcomed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, BA’94, to help celebrate a landmark $20-MILLION GIFT from the LARRY AND JUDY TANENBAUM FAMILY
to launch the TANENBAUM OPEN SCIENCE INSTITUTE. The MNI will be forgoing

research fi ndings – and all the data associated with that research – widely available.
This establishes the MNI as the FIRST MAJOR RESEARCH INSTITUTE
of its kind to make such a wide-ranging commitment to
the philosophy and practice of open science.
