Stohn ('66), the executive producer of Degrassi: Next Class (available worldwide on Netflix), made the generous $1 million gift announcement at an event Tuesday (October 13th) at the site of the new Student Centre—to be built at Trent University's Symons Campus between the Bata Library and Athletic Centre.

“It is an honour to be able to contribute to an institution that reflects the elements of the Trent experience that have meant so much to my life, and could mean so much to the lives of Trent students in the future,” says Stohn, also president of Epitome Productions and a Canadian entertainment lawyer.
 
The highly-anticipated new Student Centre is envisioned as an opportunity to enhance Trent’s well-known outstanding student experience, offering new places and opportunities for students to socialize, learn, study and engage in life on campus.
 
Construction of the new Student Centre begins in January 2016 with completion slated for September 2017.
