With support from The Weeknd, U of T's Ethiopic program soars past $500,000 endowment goal
The future of the University of Toronto’s Ethiopic program – the only one of its kind in North America and among a handful in the world – just got brighter. This support enables U of T to offer at least one Ge'ez language course each year. This is The Weeknd’s second donation to U of T in support of the Ethiopic program. “Of the classical Semitic languages, Ge'ez is one of the most understudied despite it being one of the most unique,” said Hasan. “The Ethiopic program at U of T has enormous potential.”
