We would like to wish you a heartfelt congratulations on a tremendous service milestone with McMaster University. We are extremely fortunate to have dedicated and long serving employees such as yourself, who contribute to making McMaster one of the top universities in the world.

Please join President Dr. David Farrar, and Wanda McKenna, AVP & Chief Human Resources Officer as we formally congratulate all of those who are celebrating a service milestone. Following our remarks, we will have a live music presentation from McMaster student Joel Affoon.

Joel Affoon is currently attending McMaster University studying Classical Piano with a specialization in Music Cognition. Recently, Joel was featured as a solo pianist with the McMaster Chamber Orchestra. He has been involved with the McMaster University Concert Band where he played alto saxophone and piano. He has also been a guest pianist for the Hamilton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in the 2018-20 seasons, where he had the opportunity to participate in a rehearsal with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. During his time at McMaster, Joel has played for many events including McMaster Alumni Homecoming Lunch, May at Mac, Humanities Christmas Lunch as well as a pre-concert Christmas Sing Along at the Hamilton Philharmonic, to name a few. Joel is an advocate for public performance for himself as well as for others. During his free time he enjoys doing research in the field of performing arts medicine as he aspires to go into Music Performance and Rehabilitation sciences.
