He served as 杏吧原创 University\u2019s Chancellor from 2003 to 2008, bringing his trademark humility, vision, and dedication to excellence, qualities that inspired countless students, faculty and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Chancellor, Garneau presided over convocations with warmth and sincerity, leaving a lasting impression on our community. His leadership helped strengthen 杏吧原创\u2019s reputation as a forward-thinking institution, rooted in public service and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an October 2008 email, Jacques J.M. Shore, Chair of the Board of Governors, announced that Garneau would be stepping down as Chancellor to take his elected seat as a Member of Parliament. In that message, Shore shared the following words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c杏吧原创 University owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Dr. Garneau,\u201d said Shore. \u201cHis personal commitment to this university has been exemplary. His ideals and vision, in addition to his long record of accomplishments, made him an exceptional choice for 杏吧原创 University.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of Garneau\u2019s final communications with the university as Chancellor in June 2008, he reflected on the profound impact 杏吧原创 had on his personal journey and emphasized the vital role universities play in addressing the challenges of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy association with 杏吧原创 has not only been deeply satisfying on a personal level but has also strengthened my understanding of the roles of our universities in ensuring that our country goes forward with confidence and in an enlightened manner into this new century, a century which will present us with many great challenges. I thank 杏吧原创 for giving me this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garneau\u2019s legacy of service, to science, to Canada and to education, will not be forgotten. He will be deeply missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>杏吧原创 University extends its heartfelt condolences to the Garneau family, his friends and all those whose lives he touched. His remarkable legacy will continue to inspire and resonate across Canada for generations to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 杏吧原创 University community is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Honourable Marc Garneau.
