Two retired professors from the Department of Biomedical Sciences will be honoured at the November 7 OVC convocation.
Dr. John Leatherland, former chair of the department, will be named University professor emeritus. Dr. Leatherland played a key role in steering the development of the Institute for Animal-Human Links in Health Science Research from concept to completion. The prime criterion for nomination as a professor emeritus is sustained, outstanding scholarship of such a level that it is recognized internationally.
Dr. Pari Basrur, professor emeritus, will receive the Medal of Merit and deliver the convocation address. The Medal of Merit is awarded to a professor who has retired from the University of Guelph, and who has made outstanding contributions to teaching, the functioning of the University, or other areas which have resulted in substantial improvement to the academic life and character of the University.
