Alan,

You are a well-rounded, well-traveled, well-educated, well-experienced colleague. I have benefitted so many times from your council, I can't even count anymore. Our probably most significant collaboration was on the IMBA Task Force in 2009-2011, which re-designed the program's curriculum and pedagogy from ground up. We could have not done this without you!

Thank you for your long and distinguished service to Schulich and YorkU, and for your always friendly, personable and competent advice. I enjoyed every moment of our interactions. For your time beyond Schulich, I wish you all the best. I strongly suspect you'll remain very active. More power to you!

Best wishes,
Markus
