Dear volunteers of the Congress for the Social Sciences and Humanities,
On behalf of myself and the entire Federation of the Social Sciences and Humanities I would like to extend a sincere thank you to each and every one of you. It is because of your hard work and dedication that the 85th edition of Canada’s largest interdisciplinary gathering of scholars and researchers was able to run with such ease.
During these past eight days, you have performed a number of essential duties that has supported the University of Calgary’s and the Federation for Social Sciences and Humanities production of Congress. Whether you were a volunteer in accommodation, audio-visual, hospitality, the mobile team, campus guide or a shuttle and event assistant, you played an essential role to the successful outcome of this year’s Congress and in providing a warm Western welcome to nearly 8,000 participants. The time and commitment you have dedicated to Congress 2016 has not gone unnoticed and is greatly by appreciated by all those involved with the weeks’ events.
A heartfelt thank you to all volunteers for your many hours of commitment and overall contribution to Congress 2016, as its success is due to your hard work.
Best,
Jean-Marc Mangin
Executive Director
