Celebrating Joe Desloges

At the reception held in the Peter F. Bronfman Courtyard, all the speakers* shared with great enthusiasm their thoughts about Joe as a leader, colleague, and university citizen. They also highlighted his passion for our students, their successes, and his supportive engagement with them. As well, they listed his many achievements in moving the College forward in regards to its access programs, infrastructure, and student engagement.

Joe thanked everyone who had helped make his 11 years at Woodsworth as productive and fulfilling as they were. It was a wonderful send off, and his legacy will be long remembered at the College with great appreciation and respect.
