It is truly an honour to be presiding over the 50th Anniversary Year of the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL). Having recently been appointed Director, I am fortunate to inherit this tremendous legacy from those who have come before me, such as founder James D. Leslie, and former leaders Bruce Lumsden, Don Kasta, and most recently Cathy Newell Kelly. Waterloo’s achievements in distance and online learning are a testament to their outstanding leadership, but I’m sure that they, myself included, would acknowledge that success is a team effort, and we could not be where we are today without some very important groups of people:
It all began with offering Waterloo education beyond the campus through correspondence. From these simple yet visionary beginnings, Waterloo has evolved in size, technology, and design to become a leader in online learning. As one of the top providers
of online courses and programs in Canada, Waterloo offers flexible, world-class learning experiences accessible to students on campus, in our neighbourhoods and workplaces, and around the world.
I would like to thank everyone who shares this success for their continued support as we move forward together, supporting the ever-evolving needs of the university and society.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
