Dear Colleagues,

It's an honour to call the first special meeting of the School of Biomedical Sciences Council. You are a voting member of the School Council, which at this time consists of 102 voting members and requires a quorum of 34 members.

There will be regular quarterly School Council meetings scheduled soon, but a special meeting is being called to address a specific academic matter with urgency. Council will consider a proposal to change the sponsoring academic unit for the Master of Neuroscience (M.Neuro) Program from the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics to the School of Biomedical Sciences.

MEETING DETAILS:

Date: September 15, 2026 at 4:00 pm Time: 4:00 - 5:00 pm Link:

Meeting ID:

641 2412 1401

Meeting Passcode:

439899

You will also receive a calendar invitation for the meeting. Since this is our first ever meeting and we are unsure about how easy it will be to reach quorum, I'd appreciate it if you would RSVP using the calendar invitation.

**Meeting materials will be distributed prior to the meeting**

I hope to see you there. Thank you.

Chris
