I am delighted to introduce the first biweekly issue of our new internal Faculty Newsletter.

In the past year, I have met with a number of academic and administrative staff, soliciting feedback on ways to strengthen our Faculty. One particular theme that remains consistent is the need for better communication within our Faculty.

This Newsletter strives to be a centralized place where information and news are shared with academic and administrative staff. We hope to draw attention to and elicit feedback regarding proposed changes and initiatives within the Faculty. We hope to share and celebrate your – our – successes here. We also hope to provide a comprehensive listing of upcoming events and activities across the Faculty, to ensure we all know what’s happening here.

As this Newsletter will be evolving, we welcome your feedback on both format and content. Our goal is that this Newsletter will grow to become a regular source of useful information. But to do this, we also need your help to provide announcements, updates, information, news and events.

Special thanks to Danielle Couture and Kate Brand for leading this project.

With best wishes for a rewarding academic year,

Cristina Amon
Professor and Dean
