Dear members of the York community:
This notice is to advise you that I am convalescing after undergoing a medical procedure on Friday, Feb. 5. My doctors are pleased with the results and progress; my hospital stay will be brief and I expect to be discharged later today, Monday, Feb. 8.
I will be at home for the next two to three weeks and I will keep you posted as to when I will be back at my desk.
During my absence, the University’s leadership team will continue to move things forward. Vice-President Academic & Provost Patrick Monahan will keep me informed, manage the business of the University on a day to day basis and stand in for me as needed until I return.
Thank you for all of your good wishes and I am looking forward to returning to campus as soon as my physicians say that I am ready to be back with you.
Sincerely,
Mamdouh Shoukri
President & Vice-Chancellor
