It's official -- Associate Professor with tenure

Today, I found this letter in my mailbox from David Johnston, the president of the University of Waterloo. It reads,

This letter is to confirm that your appointment as an Associate Professor with tenure will take effect on July 1, 2009.

I congratulate you on what you have accomplished. I also express warm thanks for the important contribution you are making to the life and reputation of our University and to higher education and research more generally. I wish you continued success and satisfaction here.

It's quite a different sentiment from this tenure denial letter dated Feb. 26, 2009.
