Today we honour International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
We remember the 6 million Jewish victims and millions of others persecuted under Nazism, including persons with disabilities and LGBTQ persons.

Today and always, King’s honours the Holocaust victims and stands against antisemitism and racism. I am proud to serve on the Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust at the @HolocaustMuseum, and advising on education and research in this vital history.

On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women were tragically murdered in an act of gender-based violence at l'École Polytechnique.
This day reminds us of the ongoing struggles faced by women, girls, LGBTQ2S , and gender-diverse individuals worldwide. #GBV #NDRAVAW

As a first-generation student, choosing King’s was truly a life-changing decision. Now, as a proud @KUCalumni and President (Interim) it’s a special privilege to attend Convocation to celebrate the academic achievements of our graduating class.

Seeing students engage with professors, peers & staff is testament to the power of a liberal arts education, which is relational at heart. My hope for the #Classof2024 is that the relationships they’ve built guide them toward lives of meaning, purpose & service. Congratulations!

It was an honour to share the stage @stratfest with Dr. Paul Werstine, Distinguished University Professor and proud @KUCalumni. His insights into Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night captivated the audience, as his teachings have inspired countless students since 1976 @KingsAtWestern.
