    Mike was recently promoted to Associate Professor, and had already achieved that distinction before he moved to Brock from Carleton’s Department of Geography and Environmental Studies last year. We are quite hono(u)red to have him, especially given that his undergraduate B.Sc. is from Brock as well.
