Letter from the Principal concerning Fall 2020 Semester

Dear Wycliffe College Community,

It has been some weeks since my last up-date. Even as spring and summer session classes proceed online with strong enrolments, we know that students are looking ahead to the Fall semester and wondering what form their studies may take. In the hope of addressing such questions and alleviating concerns, I am writing to provide current and prospective students with information and reassurance.

Donald Hugh Bessell

Giving thanks for the life of Donald Hugh Bessell

By Peter Patterson

Hugh Bessell, as he was known at Wycliffe, proved to be a wonderful addition to the Board of Directors when he joined in November 2000.

Besides his considerable financial qualifications and experience, Hugh brought wisdom, good judgement, and a strong commitment to his faith. He participated willingly at any Board event at the College, and carefully scheduled his own travels to not interfere with his attendance at Board meetings each month.
