H. Sanford Riley Class of 75

President and Chief Executive Officer,
Richardson Financial Group Limited.

I chose Osgoode "because it holds a distinguished reputation as Canada's leading law school; the quality of the faculty and the education they
provide is unsurpassed in this country. For me, there really was no other choice."

The highlight of my experience "There are many highlights of my years at Osgoode, but they focus on three main areas - friendship, teamwork and the educational experience. I will never forget my friends at Duggan Avenue, being a member of the Osgoode Owls' hockey team under coach Steve Borins, and Peter Hogg's legendary course on trusts. Those fond memories will last a lifetime."

What I learned "Although I have not actively practised law in 15 years, I still rely on the intellectual process I learned at Osgoode in addressing business problems. This involves the assimilation and organization of a large body of facts, first to provide a semblance of order, followed by the application of basic intellectual principles to arrive at the most likely answer. The principles and processes you learn at Osgoode will serve you no matter what your chosen vocation in life."
