President Meisen

Memorial University President, Dr. Axel Meisen will complete his presidency at the end of the Fall Semester. It has been an honour to work with Dr. Meisen during the last six years. He has been very supportive of the Faculty of Education and has encouraged us in our work both in the University and in our outreach to the community.
