I am delighted to welcome you back to McMaster where our campus community is brought together by our shared pursuit of academic excellence.

This highest of standards can only be achieved and maintained when the people who make our university great feel valued, safe and have opportunities to connect and collaborate.

An important part of feeling valued is having what you need to realize your goals as a faculty or staff member.

Please see my full message to McMaster’s faculty and staff in the Office of the Provost’s website. It shares information that you can use in your day-to-day activities as you work toward accomplishing your goals.

I wish you a terrific fall term on our beautiful campus.

— Susan Tighe
Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
