The McGill Alumni Association of Halifax cordially invites graduates, family and friends to a cocktail reception with Christopher Manfredi, Dean of Arts, McGill University.

Join one of North America’s leading political thinkers for a casual evening of cocktails and conversation aboard a Navy frigate. Professor Manfredi will be dropping in on McGill alumni living in the Halifax area, and you have the opportunity to meet with him while he’s in town. Don’t miss your chance to get the inside scoop on McGill’s largest and most diverse faculty from the man at its helm.

Christopher Manfredi is an authority on the role of the judiciary in democratic societies, especially the Supreme Court, principally in Canada and the United States. His research focuses on the political and policy impact of rights litigation.

The McGill Alumni Association would like to extend a special thank you to Commander (Retired) Gregory M. Aikins, BA’80, for his time and effort in planning this event. We would also like to thank the Canadian Navy for allowing us to use their ship.

Commander (Ret’d) Aikins spent most of his career as a naval officer, commanding two Canadian Navy frigates along the way. After retiring almost six years ago, he became the Senior Managing Partner of Intellection Consulting Inc., a company primarily concerned with project management and maritime security.

Cost: $15
