The trustees’ visit starts with Kevin Lynch participating in the Close Encounters series with the Graduate Leaders Circle. Tara Christie, My GradSkills program, notes that this series “is an excellent opportunity to bring together emerging graduate student leaders with leaders in society. It is an honour for the students to meet with and learn from a business leader, volunteer and Canada’s most senior civil servant.” Lynch will be the third presenter in this series.
John S. Montalbano of Vancouver.
The trustees will attend a luncheon where the Killam Research and Teaching awards will be announced, followed by the annual business meetings for the endowment.
The culmination of the day will be the annual dinner, where trustees and university leaders meet the Killam Scholars, talk to them about their research during the poster presentation, and announce the winner of the Donald N. Byers Memorial Killam Prize for the Best Statement of Program of Studies and Research.
