Changing the Lonely Halls of Academia

Abstract

As academics, we gather experiences throughout our scholarly journeys. Some are disappointing and frustrating, while others are memorable and long-lasting. This reflection showcases some of the pivotal moments in my professional path. It demonstrates the power of a colleague who, by his actions, impacts the lives of others in a powerful manner. The imprints left on the lives of others who have received the blessing of sharing time with Michel Desjardins are everlasting.
