I want to advise you that the baton for the Research Consultant position is being passed along! As you may know, Roger Fisher has decided to retire this coming September, leaving behind a legacy as the pioneer in establishing the Research Consultant role. In addition to his own significant and often cited research work, Roger has made substantial contributions to the advancement of Fanshawe's applied research and innovation agenda. We'll miss you Roger!

I'm also delighted to announce that Otte Rosenkrantz has accepted the secondment as Research Consultant effective this fall. Otte's experience, which includes his tenure as Chair of the College's Research Ethics Board, positions him well to provide the services and direction that Roger has been stewarding since the inception of the Research Consultant role.

Welcome aboard Otte!
