4th-year bachelor of education student Jessica Lott plays trumpet as music educator, composer and philanthropist Don Wright looks on. Wright was on campus June 29 for a ceremony to name the MacLaurin Building's music education wing in his honour. Wright, 95, known as Canada's "jingle king" for his prolific output of catchy advertising jingles, has donated $1 million to UVic's music education program in the faculty of education.
