Tribute: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)
The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll marks the end of an era. When COL was formally inaugurated, Her Majesty offered ‘a hearty welcome to this new and significant element in the fabric of the Commonwealth,’ established to foster ‘Commonwealth cooperation in distance education as an important practical step in cementing relationships between members.’
We share a deep sense of loss while at the same time celebrate her commitment to a thriving and respected Commonwealth. COL will continue to do its part to take this legacy forward.
