Dear Life Sciences and Biochemistry Students,
First, I want to thank you again for your patience and endurance during these last several months and hope that you have remained safe and healthy during these challenging circumstances. As you will now know the University, after careful consideration and on the advice of Public Health Officials, has announced that undergraduate classes for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, for the most part, will continue to be delivered remotely for all students in the Winter of 2021. We are still awaiting decisions with respect to fourth year research students. Please know that we are here to support you and if you wish to have a phone conversation with me, given the remote working conditions you can send an email to either lifesci@queensu.ca or biochem@queensu.ca with a phone number and some available times and I will call you back.
Dr. Winn
