Welcome to the end of the last full month of winter. You’ve made it!
I think the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi helped us all to power through. What a performance by Canada’s athletes! Our competitors brought home a lot of hardware – only one medal less than our total haul from the Vancouver Olympics. And it sure didn’t hurt that Canada dominated in our national sports of curling and hockey.
Today at the University of Toronto, President Feridun Hamdullahpur spoke on behalf of the U15, Canada's association of research-intensive universities, in recognition of major new research investments announced by the Government of Canada in its new budget, Economic Action Plan 2014.
This message was circulated to graduate students, faculty and staff on February 13, 2014.
I am delighted to announce that Logan Atkinson has been named University Secretary & General Counsel at the University of Waterloo, effective January 1, 2014.
Logan was appointed secretary of the university in January 2012 and began working at Waterloo in July of that year. He was formerly university secretary at Carleton University in Ottawa, and an associate professor in that university’s Department of Law.
University of Waterloo students and alumni are proving they're among the best in the word as they prepare to battle for gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.
Join President Hamdullahpur in wishing our athletes good luck, and follow the action with #SochiWarriors!
