Peter Vilks is the Godfather of the Strategy Area. He is the ultimate consigliere that we all go to for advice and protection. The impact he has made on DeGroote and McMaster is indelible. We will miss you greatly. Congratulations on your retirement! #McMasterUniversity
It was wonderful seeing everyone yesterday! I couldn't agree more with Nick's words about Peter. Your smile, positive attitude, and genuine approach with fellow faculty, staff and students will be missed. All the best in retirement Peter!!!!!
He wrote me one of the most touching letters of recommendation upon graduation that I read whenever I need a pick me up, or a reminder of what Professor Vilks predicted for my future in business. Congratulations on retirement Professor Vilks and thanks for all your wisdom
