Donate to In Memory of Dr. Bert Wasmund, Former Executive Director, Hatch

Dr. Bert Wasmund believed a university education could be life changing.

“Bert was an extraordinary individual who quietly excelled in so many of his interests — science and engineering, leadership, philanthropy, and mentorship. Most of all, Bert cared deeply about the importance of education for those who did not have the opportunities that many of us had.”

Dr. Tom Harris, former dean, vice-principal and provost. Queen's University.

“Bert truly lived a great and notable life. Past and future generations of Hatch owe him a great deal, and we will honor and pay tribute to his contribution by carrying on the legacy that he created and taught us.”

John Bianchini, Hatch CEO and Chairman.
