Message to our community from MRU leadership
Posted March 18, 2022
Tim Rahilly | President and Vice-Chancellor
Hey everyone.
This week marks two years since the way that we live, study and work has changed. You have all had to overcome different challenges including learning how to move forward despite new obstacles getting in your way for an extended amount of time. I remain hopeful that we're getting closer to moving past this and I'm so thankful to every student and employee who have been able to roll with the punches.
Paul Rossmann | Vice-President, University Advancement
I'm really grateful for the incredible resilience that I've seen from the entire campus community over the past two years. What we've been through we did without a playbook and I've just seen people doing their very best in really uncertain times.
Elizabeth Evans | Interim Provost and Vice-President, Academic
So two years later I continue to be really optimistic that we are now seeing ourselves get back onto campus again and I am so grateful and so appreciative of what you as students as faculty and as staff have done through these two years.
Jennifer Pettit | Dean, Faculty of Arts
When you leave MRU your graduating classes will be remembered for their persistence and resilience in the face of unprecedented circumstances. Staff and faculty, your incredible dedication has ensured that students were able to continue their studies.
