Jayant Gondhalekar paves the way for future students

Jayant Gondhalekar recently wrote a note that was tucked inside a care package sponsored by Seneca Alumni.

"I hope Seneca does for you what it did for me,” the note read.

Delivered as a part of Seneca’s Feed to Succeed campaign, Mr. Gondhalekar’s note and the snack bundle from the care package were photographed and posted on Twitter by a grateful student.

The idea of a surprise care package for students is only the beginning of Mr. Gondhalekar’s pursuit to give back to the Seneca community. In 2020, he established the Gondhalekar Family Award in support of students in the School of Accounting & Financial Services.

"I made up my mind that I would give something back to Seneca whenever I had the means to do so," he said.
