Join us for this year’s Friends of the Library lecture, featuring the first ever campus talk by Chancellor Elect, Mr. Prem Watsa, CEO of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited.
The lecture is scheduled for 12 noon on April 20 in the Theatre of the Arts, Modern Languages Building. Mr. Watsa’s talk is entitled “Fair, Friendly Acquisitions… The Fairfax Story” and will focus on the culture, guiding principles, and values driving Fairfax, including its focus on people, ethical action, and doing the right thing regardless of the outcome.
As part of the event’s celebrations, the Library will be honouring members of the university community who, in 2008, have authored a book, composed a musical score, mounted an art show, or were recognized for their design or photography work.
This year’s contributions include works from individuals from across the Waterloo community. Among the contributions are artistic pieces by Associate Professor of Computer Science, Craig S. Kaplan, and a fictional work by retired Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Don Ranney:
Kaplan’s and Ranney’s works, as well as those of many other individuals from the Waterloo community, will be publicly showcased and recognized during the event.
Everyone is welcome to attend the lecture.
