UNB President Eddy Campbell
It is great to begin a new presidency in September, when one of my first official duties is to welcome new and returning students, faculty and staff to the University of New Brunswick.
Since accepting the position of president of UNB in early spring, I have been making regular trips to our campuses in Fredericton and Saint John, getting to know the people who I will be working with in the coming years.
The real work begins today and I could not be more excited.
I have already witnessed that UNB has a remarkably strong community that shares a common ambition to provide the best education and research possible.
I look forward to becoming a part of this community, meeting my new colleagues and students and getting to know everybody even better.
I want to take this opportunity to wish John and Maggie McLaughlin all the best in their future plans and I want to personally thank Dr. McLaughlin for leaving such an outstanding legacy and a strong team with which to build.
I look forward to working with each and every one of you to build on the strong tradition that is UNB.
Sincerely,
Eddy Campbell President & Vice-Chancellor.
Sept. 1, 2009.
