Dear members of the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community,
As the holiday season approaches and the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the last few months and to express my gratitude to every member of the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community — our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends.
In a context of ongoing challenges, your diverse and numerous contributions have not only continued to propel our mission forward but have also distinguished and strengthened 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ in meaningful ways.
This semester marked a significant moment in the life of our University, as we turned our focus to 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ’s future and the priorities that will shape it. Together, we began the important work of reimagining 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ as a university that transforms with purpose to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world, as an institution with bold global ambitions, firmly rooted in Quebec and committed to its flourishing, and as a community united by our shared pursuit of excellence and dedication to our academic mission.
Throughout this process of reimagining, I have been inspired by the generosity of our community. Your energy, insights, and, above all, your deep care for our University’s future reaffirm that it is our people who make 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ the remarkable institution that it is.
As we prepare to enter the new year, I am energized by the momentum we have created and look forward to more opportunities to engage around our priorities and the future we will build together.
In the meantime, I wish you all a wonderful holiday season. May this time of year bring many opportunities for rest, connection, and renewed inspiration.
With warmest wishes,
Deep Saini
President and Vice-Chancellor
