Gerry Hagey

Joseph Gerald "Gerry" Hagey (1904 – October 26 1988) was an advertising and public relations executive with B. F. Goodrich Canada before becoming president of Waterloo College in Waterloo, Ontario in 1953. He had received a University of Western Ontario affiliated degree there in 1926. Hagey became the founding president of the University of Waterloo in 1957, when the science and engineering faculties he had established broke away from the rest of the college, which later became Wilfrid Laurier University. He retired January 31 1969 due to illness. When Hagey retired he had helped the University of Waterloo grow from 75 students in two portable classrooms to a rambling campus worth $80 million and a student population of 9,000.

In April 1986, he was invested as a member into the Order of Canada.

Hagey was the great-grandson of Mennonite Bishop Joseph B. Hagey and the cousin of Brantford MPP Henry Louis Hagey.
