Dear University of Windsor community,

As 2019 draws to a close and we prepare to take a well-deserved break for the holiday season, it is a special time for reflection, gratitude, and hope.

I am grateful to lead the University of Windsor as your chancellor and to have met such extraordinary students this past year. The unwavering leadership and support of faculty, staff, alumni, and volunteers in our community is immeasurable and contributes to our collective pride and success. 2020 will be filled with great promise, opportunity, and of course challenges.

May we have the courage to embrace the year ahead with hope, confidence, and determination.

Whether your travels take you far or keep you close on campus this holiday season, I wish you friendship and peace. May your days be bright and your hearts filled with kindness.

The University of Windsor has much to be proud of.

Happy holidays! Happy New Year.

—Dr. Mary Jo Haddad, Chancellor
