During his 12 years as a Senate Officer, Dr. Lloyd Fraser served Senate in many roles and on various committees throughout the University and provided active and diligent oversight of many academic matters that came before Senate. One of Dr. Fraser’s last Senate tasks was to oversee the revision and modernization of the Senate Constitution and the Senate Standing Committee terms of reference. It was no easy task and his negotiation skills were indeed an asset.
The list of Dr. Fraser’s Senate achievements is long and he clearly demonstrated extraordinary leadership as a Senator and Senate Officer, resulting in substantial benefit to the Senate of Dalhousie and the University at large.
