ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

Dear Colleagues:

It is with regret that the University accepts the decision of Professor Morty Yalovsky to step down from his role as Vice-Principal (Administration & Finance), effective January 1, 2007, and to return to his first love of teaching and applied research, after he has had a long overdue and well-deserved academic leave. In 2008, Professor Yalovsky will be returning to his academic position in the Desautels Faculty of Management.

Professor Yalovsky has served the University as Vice-Principal (Administration & Finance) since October 1999 with distinction. Among his significant contributions are major developments in facilities and capital projects, financing and human resources operations.

As Vice-Principal of a large and high-impact portfolio, Morty has touched virtually every aspect of the University. His considerable contributions have included several firsts, among them the purchase of the "New Res," the development of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's first bond issue and the advancement of human resources practices, including the implementation of a welcome performance dialogue process. He is broadly recognized for his devotion to his University, his hard work and his strong collegial manner, sustained over 33 years of service with ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ to date. Prior to his tenure as Vice-Principal (Administration & Finance), Morty served the University as Dean of Continuing Education for six years, and as an Associate Dean – Academic for nine years in the Faculty of Management. He is a valued and appreciated member of our University.

Early in the new year, we will hold an event to recognize Morty's contributions as Vice-Principal and welcome him back into the academic ranks.

Sincerely,

Heather Munroe-Blum
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
