Angerilli will join Waterloo’s administrative team in February, bringing 30 years of experience in higher education as well as project leadership in developing countries. He has been pro-vice-chancellor, student services and international, at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand since 2010.

Waterloo International helps foreign students settle into their studies at Waterloo and establishes learning opportunities in other countries.
“It’s a wonderful challenge to take a high-powered institution to the next level of internationalization,’’ said Angerilli. “I’m excited by the opportunity to work with some very good people to continue building the global reputation of Waterloo.’’
Born and raised in Trail, B.C., Angerilli earned a bachelor of science degree and PhD in biological sciences at Simon Fraser University. He lived in Indonesia for 10 years while working on a development project for the university.
