Deane has outlined the priorities and principles he believes will best help shape the
University's development.

“I wanted to share my thoughts on the principles that guide us in planning for our
future and the priorities that I believe will be critical if we are to achieve our goals,” said
Deane. “I hope that everyone takes the time to read the letter and to participate within
their units and in broader University discussions to develop ways to advance the
priorities outlined.

“The contributions of students, faculty, staff, alumni and others who are part of the
broader McMaster family will be critical to our success.”
