Western University is pleased to be host to His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, on March 8 as speaker in the President’s Lecture Series and in celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial.
The Lecture Series – a free, public event – is a showcase established by Western President and Vice-Chancellor Amit Chakma to promote topics of national and international importance.
