College Closed on July 2, 2010

June 14, 2010

I am pleased to advise that the College will be closed for business on Friday, July 2, 2010. Those who may have already requested and received approval for vacation that day no longer need to record the day as vacation. Note, however, that certain specific College operations (e.g., Fitness 101, Residence) may be open, and, if that pertains to you, you will be so advised.

This decision has been made as an opportunity to thank you for your hard work on behalf of students this past year. In particular, I appreciate the concerted effort made by many staff members to handle the Government's new Second Career Program. This program was announced very late and required considerably altered processes and delivery models, which did result in Fanshawe serving a very significant number of these students. As well, we should celebrate Fanshawe's all time high graduation rate of 68.5% achieved last year. The dedicated work of many to further our student success strategy has really been paying off.

I offer my early best wishes to you and your family for a happy and safe Canada Day holiday.

Howard Rundle
President
