Dear SGPS community,

As today marks the very first day of teaching within the new School of Governance and Policy Science, I would like to mark this important occasion by wishing all of you a wonderful term, not only in the classroom but also on the wider campus where opportunities for self-enrichment and activities abound. I hope that you will all be able to combine being active as scholars with the joy of partaking in extra-curricular activities as well.

A special thank you to our professors and instructors within SGPS for proposing exciting courses and being so engaged enhancing the learning experience of each student and making the school a success. Finally, major thanks to the school staff as well as the preparatory committee for working intensively to ensure a smooth transition. We all owe each one of them a big debt of gratitude for carrying on cheerfully while working exceptionally hard over the summer.

Again, THANK YOU all, and do enjoy Day 1 of the operation of the School!

Cheerfully yours,
Professor Pierre F. Landry
Director
School of Governance and Policy Science
