Chris and Lina Bowden
Chris graduated from Fanshawe’s Advertising Art program in 1993 and went on to become a founding member of the London Arts Council and an active volunteer supporting many local charities. Lina, a two-time Fanshawe alumna (Business Accounting, ‘81 and Business Administration, ’82) and Distinguished Alumni Award winner, has focused her career on creating vibrant and caring communities through her work in social innovation, social enterprise and social finance. Together, they have been strong supporters of the College, including funding a pair of bursaries to support students in financial need.
