Messages to our graduates
Congratulations to the newly minted PMIRs - Kim, Steven, Jeff, Mandy, Mary, Brittany, and Olivia!
I have such fond memories of our time in 202 Sutherland Hall in MIR 850, Spring of 2018 - what a dynamite group you were to teach and learn with. Wonderful engagement, great questions, camaraderie, challenging one another (Mandy and Jeff, in particular!), and learning so much from the rich discussions. I am always grateful for the PMIR teaching experience! My warmest congratulations to you all – I am confident that your organizations will be more humane and innovative places for having you there! ~ Prof. Jacoba Lilius
Congratulations on the completion of your MIR degree! As you embark on the next chapter of your personal and professional lives, I wish for you the opportunity to live in as many places and work in as many roles as possible. I hope that you will take the knowledge you have gained through your graduate studies to make the world of work a happier, healthier, more productive, and more equitable place for all! We look forward to hearing of your successes and accomplishments and hope that you will look back on your experience in the program with fondness. ~ Prof. Glenda Fisk

Congratulations spring graduates! Your hard work now receives the recognition it deserves. I would like to thank the students of my class, which should have been named Ethics in the Time of Pandemic.

My heartiest congratulations to you all on achieving your degree. It doesn’t seem so long ago that I worked with each of you on your application to the program. The road to your success has been a wild and winding one, with classes in Kingston, some in Toronto, and finally via Zoom. Your commitment to complete your degree during the trials and tribulations of the last year has been inspiring, and I hope you are as proud of the results, as we are! My best wishes for your continued success, wherever life takes you. Stay in touch and stay safe & healthy! ~ Anne-Marie Bergman
