To All Members of the Carleton Community,
Yesterday, we suffered the loss of Prof. Pius Adesanmi in a tragic plane crash in Ethiopia. He was a great scholar and a wonderful person and the outpouring of sorrow, respect, love and grief from all over the world has been overwhelming.
I want to reiterate my most sincere condolences to all those who knew and loved Pius, and make you aware that we have published a full tribute on the university website at: https://newsroom.carleton.ca/story/carleton-mourns-loss-of-professor-pius-adesanmi/
Sincerely,
Benoit-Antoine Bacon
President and Vice-Chancellor
