by Dean Environment 10 Apr '26

10 Apr '26

Hello all, Yesterday marked the end of classes for Winter 2026 and we are now entering the final stretch of the term. I wanted to thank you all for your efforts this past academic year. Hopefully Spring itself is now not too far off! A quick note. Our retreat next Friday is centred on the theme of seeing beyond our home units, and where we can work collaboratively with colleagues to build and sustain what are already excellent programs. You'll see a schedule early next week, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the day holds. All the best, Mark
