The University College community is saddened by the loss of distinguished alumnus The Honourable Romain Pitt (BA 1959 UC), who passed away on April 29, 2020 at the age of 84.

For his trailblazing contributions to Canadian law, he was honoured with the University College Alumni of Influence Award in 2015.

He remained an enthusiastic member of the College community, attending a student-alumni dinner as recently as last fall. He remarked that he enjoyed interacting with students because it kept his mind sharp.
