Jean-Nicolas Reyt

A new year is a good moment to pause and reflect on the year that just passed.

For me, 2025 was eventful, with new administrative responsibilities at McGill University, exciting research encounters, and truly wonderful family moments.

I hope the year treated you well too, and that you are looking ahead to 2026 with projects that excite and energize you.

The past few years have also been demanding for the hashtag university system. In that context, I have been continually struck by the resilience, solidarity, and quiet dedication of colleagues, staff, and students across our institutions.

As we turn the page together, I wish you a joyful, healthy, and hopeful 2026.

Happy New Year,

JN
