[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/weingartenof.jpg” caption=”Harvey Weingarten”]Provost Harvey Weingarten will meet the McMaster community next Friday, Feb. 2 to discuss and answer questions about issues raised in his State of the Academy address presented on Wednesday.

“I have been approached by more than a handful of people who attended
the State of the Academy talk expressing disappointment that there was
no opportunity to ask questions, or to discuss some of the issues
raised during the presentation,” said Weingarten.

“This is very encouraging as it suggests that the presentation was sufficiently informative or entertaining to retain people's interest and attention.”
The question and answer session pertaining to the State of the Academy address will be in HSC-1A1 from 2:45 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Weingarten will have his slides from the presentation available.
“I look forward to seeing you there,” said Weingarten, provost and vice-president academic.

A story summarizing Weingarten's presentation from Wednesday, Jan. 24 is posted on the Daily News. The headline is “Campus must embrace change to manage growth, meet challenges”.
