Celebrating Joe Desloges
On June 27th 2019, staff, faculty, community members, and special guests celebrated Joe Desloges as he completed his terms as Principal of Woodsworth College.
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.
