Since 1888, the Estate of Owen Connolly has funded approximately $3 million to help thousands of Prince Edward island students of Irish Catholic heritage gain a higher education, many of them at SDU or UPEI. Leonard Cusack (SDU ’69) has written the rags-to-riches story of the remarkable man behind the money, Owen Connolly, and we invite you to celebrate this new book at a book launch. Soft cover and souvenir copies will be available for sale and signing. Owen Connolly: The Making of a Legacy is published by Island Studies Press and the Estate of Owen Connolly.
