  • Thomas Wolf Memorial Event

    We look forward to gathering tomorrow to remember Thomas Wolf. We will meet at 9:30 a.m. outside the J Block entrance to Pond Inlet, where Dean Berg, colleagues, and Thomas’s family will share a few words in his honour.

    In the event of rain, please proceed directly to the VPMI.


    A commemoration event for professor, friend and colleague of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Thomas Wolf will occur on May 5, 2026. The event follows the one-year anniversary of his passing on April 29th, 2025. We will begin the event outside by the entrance to Pond Inlet where a White Spruce tree has been planted in his honour. We are gathering in his memory to celebrate Professor Wolf and launch a new Mathematics and Statistics scholarship – The Thomas Wolf Mathematics Award.

    The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. meeting outside the entrance to Pond Inlet, where his tree is planted.  Thomas’ family will attend the event and speak to his lasting impact.
