The Principal of RMC has sent the following message to UTs who have submitted a notice of intent to apply for promotion in 2020. We publish the message here to help ensure that it reaches all UTs.

UTs who have submitted a notice of intent to apply for promotion in 2020 who did not receive this message from the RMC Principal should contact him, copying their Dean and the CMCFA representative on the promotion committees, Sylvain Leblanc (leblanc@cmcfa-apcmc.ca).

Dear Candidate,

I am reaching out to you because I have received your notice of intent to apply for promotion this year. This year’s due date for applications is 28 September 2020, which is only a few weeks away. However, I recognize that with all the challenges we have been facing due to COVID and our network you might appreciate more time. Accordingly, you have my support for a 4-week extension to 26 October 2020.

I also realise that you may have unique circumstances and that a 4-week extension may not be sufficient for you. If this is the case, I would simply ask that you please send me your request for an additional extension and the reasons prior to 26 October 2020. If I don’t hear from you I will expect your promotion application by 26 October 2020. Note that I have discussed the idea of an extension with your faculty association, who is very supportive.

In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you do you for RMC and I wish you all the best with your promotion application.

I would like to confirm that you have received this correspondence and ask that you reply to this email. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Harry
