In memoriam: Roderick MacIsaac

A memorial service celebrating the life of Roderick MacIsaac (1966–2012), a PhD student in the Faculty of Human and Social Development (School of Public Administration), was held at the Interfaith Chapel on Jan. 24. The memorial was attended by his family, and doctoral student, faculty and work colleagues. Evert Lindquist, director of the School of Public Administration, described MacIsaac as skilled in quantitative analysis and working with data, who had high standards and was hitting his stride as an applied researcher. “He was a quiet and methodical student with a wry sense of humour and knowledgable about a wide variety of topics,” said Lindquist.
