To all Academics and Administrative and Support Staff,
McGill recently announced that, on August 4, 2020, a new R2R (Recruitment to Retirement) Program and Workday HR and Academic Personnel Management System will go live. Many of you have received a separate email about upcoming training; others will receive training information soon. Your R2R training is very important. Everyone will use Workday.
This memo is an update on the process of implementing the CRCEF at McGill and its affiliated health research institutes. We write at this time as researchers may be contacting you or your offices directly about the CRCEF. Recall that the CRCEF is the one federal research grant relief program that universities across the country administer directly.

Quickly, Dr. Karanofsky explained the nature of the emergency to Mr. Santiago and his wife, Eunice Gomes Santiago, who were able to get prompt medical help before his condition grew much worse.

On reste ensemble : déconfinement et un brin de jalousie
La médecin en résidence Andrée Vincent souhaite rester vigilante face au déconfinement au Québec. Originaire d'Edmonton, elle effectue actuellement sa résidence à l'Université McGill à Montréal. Elle explique que sa pratique dans les hôpitaux et son contact avec des patients possiblement atteints de la COVID-19 l'empêchent de déconfiner à la même vitesse que le reste des Québécois.
