A Letter from Vice-Provost John Walsh Thanking the Community

Dear University of Guelph-Humber Community Members,

As I complete my term as vice-provost and chief academic officer at the University of Guelph-Humber, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my heart-felt thanks to the entire community. It has been both an honour and a privilege for me to help lead one of Ontario’s most unique and innovative post-secondary institutions and partnerships.

I want to particularly thank our amazing students as well as highly dedicated and professional instructors and staff. I also want to acknowledge the incredible leadership team at Humber College.

While I have served in a variety of capacities throughout my academic career, my experience at the University of Guelph-Humber is by far one of the best!

I am returning to a familiar setting – teaching at the University of Guelph’s Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics at the University of Guelph.

I am proud of everything that we have accomplished together over my time as vice-provost. I know that I am leaving the University of Guelph-Humber in very good hands and with some familiar faces who will ensure the continuity of our academic programs and success.

I would again like to congratulate Dr. George Bragues, Guelph-Humber’s current assistant vice-provost and Brenda Whiteside, University of Guelph’s former associate vice-president (student affairs) on their new roles.

George and Brenda will share responsibilities on an interim basis until a permanent vice-provost is hired – George as vice-provost and Brenda as director of administration and student services. Please welcome them aboard!

The University of Guelph-Humber has been an incredible experience. I am leaving with some wonderful memories and friendships. Please stay in touch!

 

Dr. John Walsh
Vice-Provost and Chief Academic Officer
University of Guelph-Humber
