It is an absolute pleasure to see our campuses bustling with activity, as new and returning Â鶹ԼÅÄians embark on a shared journey of discovery, connection, and intellectual flourishing. <br /> <br /> The return to campus this year is also marked by several challenges that are unfolding in Quebec, Canada, and internationally, which have a direct bearing on members of our community and on our university. <br /> <br /></p> Wed, 28 Aug 2024 19:27:40 +0000 Office of the President and Vice-Chancellor 795 at /president /president/article/communications-messages-community/looking-forward <p>Dear Â鶹ԼÅÄ community members,  <br /> <br /> I write today to update you following last week’s dismantlement of the encampment. This event was significant for Â鶹ԼÅÄ, and it occurred after we had worked assiduously for weeks and exhausted all other options to end this occupation of the lower field.  <br /> <br /> Difficult but necessary work lies ahead, calling for engagement from each of us within the Â鶹ԼÅÄ community. This work must focus on further strengthening our capacity for respectful dialogue, and renewing our focus on the academic mission that unites us all.  <br /> <br /></p> Thu, 18 Jul 2024 18:45:42 +0000 deidre.mccabe@Â鶹ԼÅÄ.Ca 793 at /president /president/article/communications-messages-community/appointment-vice-president-communications-and-institutional-relations <p>Dear members of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ community,<br /> <br /> I am pleased to announce the appointment of Philippe Gervais as Vice-President (Communications and Institutional Relations).
