Dear colleagues in External Relations,
I am writing to inform you that at the request of the Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Martin, I have accepted an appointment to the Senate of Canada.
While I'm still absorbing all this entails and am truly excited by the prospect of serving Albertans and Canadians in this way, my only sadness comes in knowing it will mean leaving all of you.
In the short time I've been privileged to serve as Vice President External Relations (Acting), I've come to know you as an incredible team that brings enormous benefit to the University of Alberta.
I don't have all the details yet on when I will be leaving the University of Alberta, but wanted you hear this news from me first.
I wish you all a blessed and restful Easter and look forward to the remaining weeks we will have together.
Claudette

My Dad's reply that just made me laugh:
I’ve never really though about that question.
