Royal Roads leadership on return to campus

The Victoria Times Colonist has covered the recent announcement that Royal Roads University will welcome students back to campus in September 2021.

Here is an excerpt:

RRU president Philip Steenkamp said Thursday personal interactions are important for students and faculty.

“Our beautiful campus is a source of great inspiration for our community,” he said. “It is made that much more vibrant when students, staff and faculty are here to interact in person.”

Veronica Thompson, the university’s provost and vice-president academic, said that while Royal Roads — which regularly delivers many of its courses online — quickly and easily transitioned to full online learning last March, “we recognize the COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects on students.”

“We are looking forward to the days when we can see our classrooms active again and enrich student experiences with on-campus programs.”
