Joe Bowen will be on campus on September 26 at 12 p.m. for a free event in the Alumni Lecture Theatre (D1060).

Holy Mackinaw! Joe Bowen, the voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs, will be at Fanshawe on September 26 to give a talk entitled The Importance of Mentors. Bowen has broadcasted over 2,000 Leafs games in over 30 years.

According to his Sportsnet bio, his career highlights other than the Leafs games include blow-by-blow of Muhammad Ali's last fight, three Toronto Rock World Championship Games and the Trevor Berbick vs. Larry Holmes World Title Fight. On a personal note, Bowen is the father of four boys and currently lives in Unionville.

He has supported several charities by being the emcee at hundreds of banquets and golf tournaments. He was the emcee at all of the Meet the Leafs luncheons, Have a Heart Dinners and Maple Leaf Casino nights.

This talk supports the Larry Myny Mentorship Program at Fanshawe, which helps to match students with mentors in the community who relate to their field of study. The event is free (seating is limited) and will take place from 12 to 1 p.m. in the Alumni Lecture Theatre (D1060).
