Message for alumni:
...today the appointment of McMaster's next president. Patrick Deane will become president on July 1, 2010.
I have provided the link to the
official announcement that will be issued this afternoon and hope you will agree that the Committee to Select a President made an outstanding choice. It found a candidate who will uphold the strong traditions of the University and further strengthen its academic and research programs and its reputation as one of the world's top 100 universities, while addressing its financial health. He succeeds Peter George who retires June 30, 2010 after serving 15 years as McMaster president. I know Patrick is looking forward to getting to know more about McMaster and to meeting members of our alumni community. Please watch for the next edition of the
McMaster Times that will include a profile of our new president.
Thank you for your ongoing interest in your university.
Sincerely,
Don Pether,
Chair, McMaster Board of Governors
