The last papers have been written and submitted, final exams are over, Ring Road is virtually empty, and most of our students have left for the holidays, but the campus is not quiet by any means. The work of the university is still going strong. Our dedicated staff is busy closing out the year and preparing for all of the coming year’s initiatives and projects.
